Bosozoku is one ugly styling of modding. I mean, let’s all be honest here before we show our respect. It’s crazy, super duper wide fenders, wings that don’t clear most underpasses, front lips that can plow the snow off most driveways in one pass, and so on. Yes, this style of modding is something that has been in Japanese culture for generations, and for that we should all show the up-most respect for the people that do mod their cars in this way. It sure does take a ton of commitment to do such extreme modifications to a ride. But its done. On the other side of things, I could never see myself ever doing anything close to that, but you can always find inspiration and styling cue’s from these cars. That brings me to the car below. This teal 80’s goodness known as the Mark II Celica Supra we can all agree looks awesome. BUT WAIT! Look at those fenders! Them fenders are straight out the the bosozoku handbook, and hey, the car still looks really good. Simple, clean styling always seem to translate well no matter how it’s done. Then again who wouldn’t want a properly done super flaired out Supra? That’s what I thought…

You know why I like 80’s styling so much? Me either, but I always seem to be so damn drawn into it. Maybe it’s the boxiness, or maybe it was pushing the boundaries and trying to get past the styling cues from the 70’s. One of the cars that nobody really paid attention to, and for good reasons, was the Nissan Z31 300ZX. Sure it shaped the way for the Z32, but who looks at it and thinks that? Well I’m glad some people still see potential in the car. Below is a really dope example of down-to-the-bone 80’s styling done right. Bright red, pulled fenders, Watanabe’s, a subtle lip spoiler, and a few other small mods that makes this thing attractive. Now, who else going to be asking their weird uncle who lives in the past, if he’s willing to donate the 1984 Z31 that’s been sitting in his garage. I’m looking for his phone number now!
