Just went Kouki

[TurtleS14]

so i just converted to kouki and im having some issues, there is a big open space between the hood and headlight. The hood is all the way down, adjusted it as low as possible.
is it maybe cus the hood a carbon fiber ( probably ebay )??

Also I want a stock front bumper with a lip and yes im taking the zenki fogs off..

[Roly D Sauce]

[TurtleS14]

so anyone with a real answer got some input?

and keySR can you pm a close up of your hood fitment to the lights and fender please. thanks

 

[gsracer]

yours and my ebay hood is the problem, you could try moving the headlights up a bit and fixing your saggy bumper

 

[Tonymac]

looks like your only option is to move it forward at the hinges...if thats as far forward as you can go, it doesn't look bad or anything but just get yourself some hood pins asap.

real kouki's have a rubber lining going under the front of the hood, which covers the gap u have. i have the same gap, b/c my car used to be a zenki.

u could probably order that rubbing lining from nissan, but i dont know how it will work with a carbon hood.

damn i wish i were mod on this section...i wanna change the name to "I just failed...check it out"

I think it looks pretty good. But why no side shots?

imo, it does look like the hood does have something to do with the gap, hence the right side the hood doesnt line up with the fender, it has a bigger gap on the right than the left from the hood. If you want we'll meetup and we can swap hoods so you can see the difference.

yup sure w.e you say homie..

Thanks bro..and no side shots cus it looks REH-TARDED cus its a huge bumper ( aggressive origin replica ) with no side skirts and stock rear bumper. looks kinda funny. I wanna change it to the stock front bumper with a lip

sure bro, we dont need to do that, just measuring it would be enough..
