Even though they are a bit too much(ricey) for other people's taste, I commend them on their individuality.. lol

Exposed oil coolers, negetive offset wheels, fender flares that are in different color than the rest of the car on early model cars are styled after the touring/road race cars like the KPGC10 Skyline 2000 GT-R that were popular in the 60's.


The boxy front ends and crazy wings are styled after the early 80's racecars like the Tomica/Newman R30.


This hobby has been around since the 1970's, so it's not anything new really. We are just noticing this because of the JDM trends of recent years.
