Found this...those are the hood vents from a 240/260Z Datsun. IMO they don't actually look so bad...thoughts?

Getting creative, mounting the antenna through the hatch wiper hole. It looks pretty rough with the intentional and unintentional body damage. I'd say knock another 2K off the price.

Replace the fake turbo bumper, remove the ugly rocker covers and euro rear valance, fit the correct windshield and a new hood. Might be worth $2.5k then if everything else checks out.

Another case of someone spending money on all the wrong things and expecting to get some of it back. Might be worth close to that if he spent the money on upgraded suspension instead of bling.

Hadn't noticed that, not a bad idea really.

Horrible. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.. that car is FAR from mint. I would never consider my car mint and most would be hard pressed to find any issues with it.

Move them foward a bit, drill some holes in the top of your airbox, provided you have an NA, and it MIGHT help.

I have to say the vents look pretty good however. The rest of the car...not so much.

I don't mind the vents or the antenna. On a clean car either could look good.
