    Must…shave…number plate…

    Pissed I didn't do it when I repainted it last year. Oh well, only a hundred bucks I bet to redo.

    The one on this kouki looks like you can "make it work" because of the way it attaches.



    Their semi-shaved rear looks like ass, but I think it would be easy to chop out that middle section and put a more updated diffuser. So this....


    ....with the dated-looking center cut out, and replaced with something like this, that is all over ebay.

    I didn't think the center of the bumper looked bad.

    Your Z is beautiful! Just great

    This is why 86's are the best. Those taillights are done perfectly! I like how you opened them up and put clear diffuser patterns in the housings. Well done.


    Also, I am not a big fan of tinted tailights, but the way you did it (tinted clear coat) is very nice as well. I can appreciate them when I know they were done properly, unlike that shitty spray tint!

    Awe, and here I was thinking that "shitty spray tint" looked cool



    I probably wouldn't do mine that dark though.

    Nope, it's just shit. Sorry


    It might look nice from 5 ft when new, but give it a couple weeks of washing, UV rays, and then see how appealing that nice purple-swirl taillight look is!

    Nice Z though, the red/black is a good contrast. Factory maroon/darker red is classy

    I'm not a fan of these Pantera hatches, but the wing (probably custom) and the rear lip (unknown) is interesting.

    I was thinking that it was the Avante rear wing too.

    As for the diffuser .. it looks like Modern Garage …

    Going off this picture I'm gonna say 95% Avante. Take note of the corners.

    Has anyone ever done a zenki front on a kouki body? I saw a picture of a gray japanese one and I was wondering if anyone else has done it.

    Friend mine bought an 87 na from someone with a 84/85 front end on it. Not even lined up or anything. I told him the car was probably in an accident.
