Nope! Perfect fitment w/ no bulges. This is the ONLY time I will say that bulges are bad (except when we are talking about "women")! :)

E30 is my favorite. I want a red one.

It's very hard to get one these days, I look up autotrader and ebay last week and I found none...

Last year I saw a good condition listed on the trader, asking price about CAD$18,000.

Coudn't find another one since then.....

To be honest, I don't know why Japanese car doesn't use hood-struts... :confused:

If such a good quality one only cost $90, the cost for Nissan to put those in as OEM will be even cheaper....

European have them almost 20 years ago.... and Japanese..... :shakes head:

I still prefer the dynamic of the FRS/BRZ over the ST. But the ST is definitely much faster stock for stock. It has wayyyy more grip.

It made C&D's 10 best for this year, so that's nice.

for me, i need to drive a frs/brz to have credible insults to post. so far, only real world vs my honda fitto. :icon17:

it's the dampers that hold up the hood open so you dont need to use the prop to keep hood from closing or chopping heads off.. :tup:
