 I was lucky enough to get the rare S13 Aero Bumper today. It costed me hefty price of V$ 600, but it did worth it. It all included the black bumper grill and the pair of amber blinker lights. Getting those separately would have been much more difficult. The front "Brick" lights, OEM grill and a pair of blinkers costed about V$ 550. I wanted to get the projected ones, but I should search for more. Well new old stocks are virtually impossible to find these days, even if I live right next to Japan, so getting used parts and polishing it like new was necessary.  The license plate holes for the front bumper barely matches the actual holes of the license plate, so I had to place it on my dashboard for now. I've worked on these Aero bumpers before and it was not a hard work, but kinda tedious. Also, I could salvage a stock OEM hood from Suwon, for V$ 350. It didn't have any issues and it all fitted pretty well. The hardest was the grill. Those small details are so important, yet so hard to maintain. Probably one of the hardest part to get.  When I had to take off the rear wide fenders, I had to do it really carefully, because I didn't want to fuck things up. Well it kinda ended up doing lots of putty work and welding, grinding, and sloppy spray painting. I refitted the rear reflectors for USDM look and of course for safety reasons.  So, now the 240SX look like this, like a typical drift missile, but it definitely will be repainted soon. And of course more stickers to the window. |
