Well, it looks as good as about any of them out on the road - and
makes about as much sense. Now all he has to do is get one of those big
coffee cans, put it on the end of his tailpipe, and get an instant 50
horsepower.
Disclaimer: I do not own a Japanese car, nor do I plan on owning one at
any time. My present ride is a '78 El Camino with a built 307, and I'm
quite happy with it.

Nice - I like how he suggests that you "tape on the front bumper
TASTEFULLY". Any project involving that much duct tape, by definition,
is NOT tasteful, even before you take the bare cardboard and the
overall tackiness into account.
Looks like they had fun, anyway. Better use of time than video games.
Thanks,
Andy

And this has exactly what to do with woodworking?
Cardboard is made from wood pulp?
Is that the connection?
Yet another useless JOAT post.

What? I forgot to label this OT?
You'll have to take it up with the Cabal.
There is no Cabal.

The only Japanese car I ever owned wasn't an import.
It was a '65 Datsun Bluebird Sport I drove while I lived in Japan. Hand
painted with black semi-gloss latex, I only had a 2" brush so it took all
day!
It is now parked at the bottom of Tokyo bay as part of an artificial reef.

I'll be keeping this one for the next time I hear a suggestion for
dressing up a a car. And it's the racing stripes that actually give
all the extra HP. The coffee can on the tailpipe merely announce it.
I'll give these guys a 10 for innovation and design and another 10 for
the super technical instructions.

Liar. According to the second link, the HP's all in the racing
stripe. The racing stripe makes the car much faster when parked.
The coffee can merely allows all that extra HP out when it tries to
pass you. There is evidence that when a coffee can is is installed on
domestic vehicles the power boost can be significantly increased
with the addition of 2 stripes of contrasting colors.
A thick coat of Rustoleum applied with a 4" brush will give an
estimated 18% HP increase (varied by your paint color) and lighten
the car by 4% for those faster take offs on gravel.
Enjoy

Moot point anyway. None of them are going to be as cool as my El
Camino, and no matter what you do to one, they won't sound near as good
either. If I was gonna go for a furrin car I wouldn't go for a ricer,
I'd opt for a Yugo, a man's car.

Yeah, that was a Ford that was all riced-up. My son says the proper name
for the big exhaust tail pipe is "Fart Pipe".
