Project S14 Zenki Rear Lip - WHAT!?!?! - maybe just another project

[vtund777]

ok, so who the hell is making rear lips for a S14 zenki bumper? Here's a quick teaser pick for those who are going to start saying that this thread is useless w/o pics. It's just a start, but it's going to be a slow process as I don't have too much time to work on it. Anyways i'll "try" to keep this build going with more pics.

-No I don't have any pics with it on the car-Yes it will be a full lip-Yes that's bondo (fiberglass and foam is the core), just a prototype to make a mould off of-Yes that's an extra bumper, not the one off my car-BLAH BLAH BLAH

[vtund777]

Before I forget...for those who remember me. Yes this could turn into an actual part one day. Yes I made a front lip and yes I did produce that part as well. It's all about the mood I will be in and how much interest! Zenki love!

Did you ever get around to releasing those side skirts?

I made them.

BUT I never released them. Kouki side skirts were just fine for the setup.

[vtund777]

here's a side angle to show how it flows with the bodyline of the zenki bumper. Simple and clean. It's low enough to hide the exhaust from a side angle.

huge pics for the win finish that bish

Wait! I have an extra bumper and always wanted to get rear valances this might be an alternative. Excited to see the results.

[vtund777]

safin - well at least they're not life size. well they are close...haha.

Dire91- Thank you.

****I'll add some photo shopped pics of a car to show what it "should" look like. Stay tuned!

It's all about the sexy lips and sexy rear...haha. I'm going to try to make the zenki rear bumper more popular than the kouki rear bumper.

[vtund777]

Ok here's the photoshop. It's not my car nor do I own the pic, so thank you to jtuned.com. This gives you a better idea of how low it will sit and angle of the lip. Again, simple and clean.

-I know I know those aren't kouki sides skirts, but I couldn't find any other good pics to use.

Hmm. How well do you think this would line up with zenki sides?

[vtund777]

Hmm. How well do you think this would line up with zenki sides?

With the current design, the top half will not, but the bottom half will. A simple add on piece that lines up to the top half of the zenki side skirts would do the job. All I can say is that it's do-able.

[vtund777]

What's a thread without some updated pictures? I just finished sanding both sides to make the lip as symmetrical as possible. For the most part it's symmetrical, but I need to fix the top bodyline of the lip so it's even all the way through. I also need to work the bottom part of the lip to smooth everything out. Enjoy!

I like the looks of the straight bottom. I will take one since my VQ swap will use side pipes.

[s13_pinoy]

Looking good, I always wanted to try to do something like that. The only thing I noticed that it could use is the cutout for the exhaust tip? Of course unless you plan on running side exhaust or a dump style straight pipe. Otherwise its very original and should come out cool.

[DailyDrivenS14]

this may be a super noob quesion but how will it mount to the oe bumper? if it doesnt harm the original bumper i would definitely be interested in one...

[vtund777]

Pretty much this will be a one off design. I've already has a different design for one that I plan to manufacture. I have no idea when I will release it though...stay tuned!

Good question. This is one that I'm not going to answer as it's a secret right now. All I will say is that it will be as "clean" as possible.

[vtund777]

Nope, not a noob Q. At this time I've mounts located at the license plate frame area and fender mounts. 6 total mounting points. The top part of the lip which you cannot see also sits flush against the Zenki bumper where double sided tape can be applied to provide additional support.

Possibly intrested. Depending on the flow of the bumper with the Navan sides

[DailyDrivenS14]

This will depend on the production design. Stay tuned.

That's the objective is to FINALLY have a full kit. It's been busy with the holidays to hopefully I'll get back on track.

Nice! Thanks for the compliments!

Please post some pics of the part installed. Are you painting the lip as well?

Funny you should ask. I did make a prototype part at one point for the S13 hatch, but never followed through with the lip design. It was too low and I wanted to hack the design, but moved to other projects.

I'm in the East Bay. No updated pics. Hopefully I'll find some spare time to do more work on the rear lip.

no problem. I'm jus gonna leave the lip black since i'm painting my car white.

Nice, I live in the east bay too. I have a project idea down the line that you could possible help me with. If/When I get around to it, I'll be sure to contact you via your website.

My idea shouldn't take you too long, just custom valences, but I haven't decided on exactly what I want to do. That is if you would be interested.
