At the begining of October my Kouki was totaled. I was heart broken until I stumbled on a $4200 Zenki 5 spd, se, abs, in need of some love. I swapped my entire Kouki interior, skirts, motor, and pretty much rebuilt everything. I Sold my Kouki front lip and bought a Greddy Gracer lip. I just had everything painted and installed. i just thought I would share incase anyone wanted to see what the Gracer lip looks like with Kouki sideskirts. L8R.

Looks good! I will be doing the reverse zenki to kouki hopefully by next week. Do you plan on doing anything to the rear bumper add-on? The lines would flow fully with something on the rear if you know what I mean. It's like a girl, face is nice boobies are great butt well there is none

I know what you mean. Up next will be the rear valances and a Navan grill to finish it off. But the refined factory look is what I am going for. Z brake upgrade in the near future too. Right now the tint is crap so that has to be replaced, I have to get my alarm put in too. I just finished rewiring the stereo and removing the factory amps and power antenna. Then to get this thing through emissions, loads of fun. It is little things though, mechanically/cosmetically this car is sound now and thanks to the newer 70k motor and upgraded everything this thing pulls hard now. I have to still get another JWT ecu because the other one wouldn't work in this car, the other car was obdII so it would cause issues. Well thanks for the seal of approval. My Kouki became an organ donor, her parts are in so many other cars giving them life, it makes you feel good.

Hmm, someone else other than me and GEO w/ the Trust front lip. Me and GEO are starting the "LipKreW" (lol), so since your zenki is clean and has the Greddy lip, you will be allowed in if you so wish. Clean car by the way

I wish, I have this friend named Dave (Poe) on http://www.az240sx.org. He works for a body shop in Scottsdale named Ranch Auto Body. We even got to install everything at the shop which was nice because he had all the industrial auto body products. If you are in AZ look him up. My three stage pearl white on the lip and skirts came out perfect. They even have an oven to bake the parts in so the paint is cured correctly. The paint on the rest of the car is actually pretty good after a complete clay baring and wax. Definitely doesn't look like a 9 year old car.

So have you had sufficient time to think about being in the lipkrew? hahhaha

You car is seriously very beautiful, I love that pearl white color in the first place but with the Greddy lip and Kouki skirts, gorgeousness.

White is awesome, but I dunno, the Zenki front just doesn't do anything for me like the Kouki one does.

I like what you've done with it though.

I would actually lean a little towards zenkis if I had a choice. I think the front end suites the car all around.

Thanks for the stamp of approval guys. That 95 oem grill is killing that front end. I am either going to find a 96 locally or order one of those replica navan grills or something. We will see. This car has come a long way in two months. Plenty of time still to refine her looks.
