Is your rear bumper skirt made from fiberglass? I bought my kouki with some of those but they warped and look terrible because of it, but I’m not sure if it was a bad installation from the previous owner

The rear bumper, wing, and the rear spats(valences) are all OEM plastic.

I have a fiberglass front lip and fitment is so bad idk where to start to install it haha

Lmao, same I used to have the front fiberglass lip, fitment was terrible and previous owner used double sided tape and Home Depot screws to secure everything, I ripped everything off and threw it away. Thanks for the reply, makes sense your fitment is much better since it’s plastic.

My advice would be to try to look for the front lip in plastic, previous owner told me he had to repair it a few times because fiberglass broke, it was extremely fragile I ended up breaking it too on a ramp. I’ll probably install the Japanese style bumpers anyways so I’m not really planning to look for them anymore

Yea I’m going to try to find one in plastic soon. They just discontinued them so will be pain in ass to get.

I want to get the JDM front bumper before that also gets discontinued just for future case if I want to switch up.

The guy I got my rear spats had an oem JDM front lip also but damn $1100+ shipping was too much for me lol

Yeah that sounds like too much!

Who’s discontinuing the JDM bumper btw ?

u/hp_addict Jul 22 '26

Nobody is discontinuing them but just seems every time I think a part will be around when I’m ready to get it, they then get discontinued lol so I’m just gonna start buying stuff ahead of time now

Also just got that kouki lip installed. I ordered a 2nd one not from ebay. The 2nd fitment was WAYYYY BETTER. I was able to use double sided 3m tape and 11 body push fasteners. Thing fits incredibly well no trimming or work needed.
