So am I the only one who thinks that the hood scoop on the turbos makes or breaks the zenkis?Feedback- viewtopic.php?f=18&t=19840

Yeah, I'm lost on why a scoop would look bad on an '86. The car is more similar to a Zenki than a Kouki. The average joe can't even tell the difference at first glance.
Actually, if I end up doing a kouki front end swap, I plan to integrate a scoop somehow. Either a Zenki scoop, a generic one, or I make one.

I like the scoop on my AE. Just something about it looks good in my eyes.

ae it works in my opinion as the rear arches are "bolt on"
the 86 has widened rear arches with sheet metal does it not?
personally I don't like the pre/86 cars
id rather have a 240/260z or an s30 -

The 200zr-II scoop on the kouki looks good because it matches the body style, as the 84 turbo scoop on zenki/chuki matches the angularity -

if the AE flares were molded that may be a different story, but they totally change the look of the car from the formed metal widebody of the 86.
anyways that's just my opinion, im quite partial to the clean/sleek look that the 86 has compared to the previous years.
it doesn't really matter much anyways, im planning a kouki front swap to tie into my build -

86+ flares are the best of all. AE fender flares just look like aftermarket tacked on pieces.
And +1 on what GE said. -
