I think the Kouki tails only look good with the aero kit, otherwise they look out of place. I presonally would put 5-600 usd elsewhere ---

I used a heavy duty spray degreaser although I could not bring myself to just spray in on, so I sprayed in onto a rag then wiped and scrubbed. Rinsing frequently then to the wash bay when I was finished for a final rinse. I also found popsickle sticks worked great for scraping, crack the stick in half creating a sharp edge. The wood is soft enough to not scratch off the paint but gets the big chunks and those hard to reach spots. It makes for a lot less scrubbing. I didn’t snap any pics since I have to re-polish my intake and pipes after the wash bay. I don’t think pictures wil do it justice anyway but I will throw some up soo just to see. …Dan ---

paint her up and make it look nice, a set of skyline rims (hopefully), 300zx break upgrade, unlikely but all around coilovers, and even more unlikely - CA18DET drop in.
