Exactly! I liked the more aggressive look compared to the small lip spoiler for the Kouki. The curvature of the zenki and kouki trunks are the same, no modifications necessary to the attach point.

Thanks for the comments!

umm...actually the ends are interchangeable because the quarter panel is the same..the middle part is a little bit different.

i installed a kouki one on a zenki car and there is caps in the middle...when i put the kouki one to a kouki car it is perfect so i knew it is not 100% the same on the trunk curve

plus jp tell me to stock kouki one because they knew about this...they said kouki wing could be fitted to both.

zenki wing is only zenki car.

my guess is since they work on your emblem area they might have done it for you....

I had them cut down so they don't stick out so far from the seat.

Car looks tough! How wide is the front wheel? I have 9 inch wide in front and am moving from 245/35 to 225/35 on my 99 ls and just wanted to see what kind of stretch I will have.
