    Several other sports cars in the early-mid 80s had that same bumper "overhang"; Starion/Conquest specifically come to mind. It was part of the styling of that day.

    The MR2 has it as well.
    1986 300ZX factory Turbo 2+2 5 speed swap. 1985 Toyota MR2. Floor boards gone. Good fabrication practice.

    Super Advan Racing Version I - (Yeah, I know .. most don't like the 3-spoke)



    I'm thinking .. 5x114.3 .. 18x8.5 to 9 .. with offsets 20-25 (not sure of the offsets .. I want a flush to slightly tucked look)
    This way .. IF I drop the stance (bags or coils) .. I won't have to do any body work (fender rolling, etc ..)

    Stop that DZ.. I was thinking of getting those… He wants a little too much though considering the condition IMO.
    The least he'll take is 1100. TBH i've never really been a fan of that seller because he's always asking a little too much for his for sale stuff. Whatever.

    Im probably just going to end up leaving the 350z anniversary wheels on the 89T and putting coilovers and related things on instead.

    I think the stock turbo lip makes a big difference for the looks of the front of the car. It seems like something is missing without it. I think both kouki and zenki noses look good for their own reasons, but mine is definitely staying zenki.

    Prius… because Pretentious wouldn't fit across the back of the car…

    Zenkis always had more of an 80s super-car look going on IMO. The Kouki just looks like an after-thought and doesnt flow with the rest of the lines.

    I personally prefer the look of 17's on Zenki cars… very thin tires and big wheels seem more like a kouki thing to me since it's more of a modern style.
