Project: 240SX...Commence!

[buzzbombtom]

thats a stock bumper? why are things from japan so much cooler lol? why do we get everything watered down? is it that the american auto makers have such a choke hold on our automotive industry that they can say a superior car is not allowed to come into the states? side topic

Yup stock kouki 180SX front bumper. I looove it! And who knows, America is just ridiculous. 80% of the population cant drive, so they up our safety regulations on the cars which turns out that we get crap! haha.

Haha, my friend got stationed over at the south part in Japan, and he ended up staying and retiring over there because he loved the country and culture so much. I'm somewhat jealous!

im new to 240s. why do you need the extensions? do you have to cut the fenders to fit them?

 

[Road Pirate]

240's have stock bumper extensions even on the USDM ones, as you can see here:

It's the lower portion that basically mates the fender to the bumper, because the OEM bumper doesn't reach the fender, so they use the extensions. I had to get the 180SX ones, because they're flared out more than the stock ones I have on my current bumper, and wouldn't mate properly.

Hope that explains it haha.

 

[mymmeryloss]

Did u really need that sledge hammer to put the extensions on?

 

[Road Pirate]
