Save that Zenki it's not that bad. If you're not going baller with a kit and some bad a$$ wheels then keep it Zenki, it looks (flows) better stock. Just my biased .02

From what I know.

You would need , S14 kouki headlights, bumper(with the winkers), hood, and the headlights brackets for kouki(their different from Zenki to Kouki). You can mod the zenki brackets to fit kouki. But if you want clean bolt on you would need Kouki brackets. Brackets are welded on top with 2 weld spots each and bolted at bottom with 1 bolt each.

Why I didn't mention fenders and corners is because, I heard you can use zenki fenders and corners with kouki (lights, bumper, hood). If this is not true or looks like , than you would need kouki fenders and corners.

Oh and dont forget the kouki grill.

As for wiring, that's one of the simplest things to do, I think. But I dont know if their different or not.

The wiring for the front end is a little different, but pretty simple. for the kouki corners/markers/and blinkers you would only need to get your power light and your ground wired up with the proper connectors for the kouki lights. The headlamps are simple as well. If you order lights just be sure to tell them that you need the bulb plugs as well. They should all be the little gray ones (i think the same as your current corner lamps). They can all be wired directly into the existing harness and work with the factory switches.

I have a kouki and I love it, but your zenki isn't in such bad shape that you couldn't make it look really good.

I suggest:Staying away from fiber glass kits. Only get OEM parts and body panels. You can get skirts, and rear extensions that are OEM and will not be pieces that crack and will fit great and give you a good look. You can do this whether you stay zenki or make the change to kouki.

If Zenki: Glass Zenki headlamps and Navan body kit.If Kouki: JDM OEM parts with navan skirts.

if you got a kouki front end that came with the radiator support, then you would not need the brackets because the lights would bolt right up to the factory kouki support.
