Hood, Fenders, Bumper, Headlights, Corner lights, and a grille.
you can use the zenki headlight brackets but you might need to do just a little adjusting

[hellfire]

Besides the obvious, like lights, hood, fenders, bumper. You also need the bumper support. The Kouki bumper sticks out farther, and doesn't reach the Zenki support.

Also, you will need to redrill your Core Support for the Kouki headlights. One hole lines up, and the other doesn't.

I did my conversion.

USDM Zenki to USDM Kouki do not need a different support,

Maybe JDM bumpers, or Aero bumpers


But Im pretty sure you do not need a different support to put the USDM kouki bumper on

[hellfire]

Yes you do.

Get EDM zenki headlights. Much cheaper, and very nice looking. No more gross, fogged up, yellow plastic zenki lights. ~$500

lol tring to keep me with the zenki, eh?

[hellfire]

Oh, I have nothing against doing it yourself. I thought you asked me how much I put out for it, meaning how much did I pay to have the conversion done. Thats why I offered my services.

I think for my frontend I paid.. $1k.
That included:

New Kouki Headlights
New Kouki OEM Bumper and Lip
New BMagic 20mm Front Fenders
New OEM hood.
New Bmagic 30mm Rear Fenders.

I got a hell of a deal though. Expect to pay around $400 for just the headlights.

And I sold the OEM Bumper and Lip combo for $500.

Tyler

Ha, of course! I know a guy that bought a kouki and sold the front end and put on a zenki front with the EDM glass headlights, and pocketed the extra grand. Pretty smart in my opinion.

I think both can look great and really don't have much preference, and that's why I usually say, work with what you've got. They all have potential in the right hands.

[hellfire]

Agreed. Done right, Zenki's can be sex.

Tyler

[down_shift]

keep it zenki. most people buy a zenki with the idea of going kouki but after a minute realize how nice the zenki face really is.

Well the only reason for the Widebody fenders in the rear are my wheels. Which won't fit under stock fenders.

would do it cause i love flip up headlights, but just dont wanna do that much work. the reason why i wanna do the kouki is because the front end just looks more flush with the grill to headlights and just looks good.
