Would look even more badass with a TBO lip. And with matching rear wheels. -

I love the Zenki StyleAuto kit. I was planning on getting the mk1 MR2 kit before I got my Z. They used the same design for the rear bumper on both kits lol. I've never seen a 2+2 look so good. Proud to own such a looker.1986 300ZX factory Turbo 2+2 5 speed swap. 1985 Toyota MR2. Floor boards gone. Good fabrication practice.

Overbite, what overbite? Depends on the air dam used, and most of the Kouki's in their own thread have an aftermarket air dam.
I like the way the Zenki front bumper kind of continues the body like curve. The Kouki front bumper looks likes like a blunt end.
The perfect Z31, Kouki front end (because I like the smaller headlights and separate driving lamps) on an 86T body because I like the 84-86 rear ends better with the wide body fenders. If you are a 240Z purists, the Zenki and Chouki rear end is old school, like the 240Z. The 87 Kouki rear end was the first Z car without separate tail lights with the license plate in between. Putting the plate on the bumper on the Kouki looks crappy with the BIG bumperettes.
Restore it, Don't crush it. They don't make them like this anymore.

The overbite is obvious.
The top/middle of the bumper sticks out far beyond the bottom part. It's as if someone removed a person's bottom lip. It really does need an air/dam to correct. (The stock zenki turbo lip does little to correct this).
Koukis even w/o a lip have far less overbite. -
