    Talk to "MR325" (Matt) he'd have a much better idea of what you seek.

        minor update -

        Removed the tint, and traded out the euroweaves for a staggered set of 16" ESMs. Not sure I like the wheels though, FAR too much bling for my taste. I also really dislike the rear fitment - 205s on a 9" wheel is just ridiculous. Hoping to move on to 215s on an 8" wheel soon! :)

          I see where you're coming from on pushing the 'bling' factor..

          but holy hell - those wheels do look good regardless.

          Ha - now you totally need chrome kidneys! lol

          Love the progress you've made. I've decided to bring my bumper trim back to black. Color-matched trim kinda makes the car look like it's trying too hard.. although, I would color-match the is lip and side mirrors - but that's just me..

            scuff and dip those wheels in bronze paint to alleviate bling overkill (?)

            'Stance' also looks fine to me. I'd install a plate before thinking of going any lower..

              I think I liked the 15's better. The ESM's are sweet though.

                          Good call on blacking out the color-matched trim - makes a huge difference in my opinion!
                          Def. not going any lower with the roads around here! I'll color match the lip for sure, that should make a big difference. I'll probably wait on that until I can source some 'is skirts though. I never liked the look of e30s without side skirts. Oh and i'll probably pick up a set of chrome kidneys to swap out when necessary :)

                          Thanks! I'll be sourcing some skirts sometime and color matching the lip, so the rockers are staying for now.

                          ESMs are *hopefully* getting swapped at the end of the week. Can someone say e38 style 5 w/ nogaro centers? :D

                          Short term - finish basic reliability items, then get some HPDE seat time. I've got a couple track days in with my WRX, but no time with the e30. Should be fun, but i'm presuming that I'll quickly thirst for more power especially knowing how quick the subaru is in comparison. Long term goal will be 24v swap of some sort. I've always felt that 1HP/10lbs is a good power to wight ratio, so that'll be the goal - roughly 250hp. S52 should do the trick nicely :)

                                Nice cars but I don't see any Henna colored cars.
