If you are gonna do a real 180sx bumper not only do you need the bumper but you will also need the bumper support. On the 180sx the bumper support is shorter. Also there are 2 side pieces on the real 180sx bumpers that go on the front fenders.

ok, I found a pic of it I think! I dont know if this is a replica or not... Anyways what does this "support" look like? I have a way to get those parts if i know what they look like.(japan auctions).. I remember seeing the side pieces there.

the support is made out of metal that goes behind your bumper.

and you don't need a lip for the 180sx, at least i don't think you do

you don't need it, but it looks a ton better with it.

for the whole thing.. it's going to expensive, just so you know. OEM kouki stuff is super expensive, this bumper will cost you over 1000 just for parts.

I'd like to see a pic for comparison... What's the difference?

Wish mine had a front lip... Did the 93 have a lip as an option?

greg, zenki lip on a chuki bumper is not an option, i'm sorry. it looks awful. only 'OEM' lip option for 91-94 chuki bumpers is the xenon lip that NeedCAforS13 has.

phase2 sells all the parts you need for a kouki front end.

So what's the one marshun's talking about?

I have a chuki bumper? Good to know... I guess... :)

Bear with me, I'm learning.

why do you want the bumper support?

if us doesn't fit, either bust out the dremel or toss the damn thing.

greg, check out NeedCA's sig. I think there is (or was) a pic of it.
