    Looks like a Dodge Dually
    Derek-

    Comment


      I'm with you all, I like it A LOT more on that white car.

      I didn't feel this way at first, but if I was building some balls-to-the-wall, high HP E30, that is what I would want covering up my big-ass meats, it looks loads better than the homebrew widebody stuff I've seen on wild drift/hillclimb/etc. E30s in Yurp and elsewhere. I don't feel like this really belongs on anything with less than 400-500hp though with existing flare options and how much tire you can already fit under a stock one.

      It kinda reminds me of the old JBA Dominator Mustang from the '80s, which was a seriously badass car for its time despite whatever opinion you may have of Mustangs.

          Don't know if it's purist hate or not but I would love to see a coupe with a built/boosted LS engine and big wide sticky tires with this kit

              It cracks me up that whoever owns that vert went to great lengths to make sure everyone knew he had an oil cooler (even though the M20 has one stock), but then mounted it such that 1/3 of it is blocked and has no airflow. It's very try-hard.

              I don't understand the exposed oil cooler trend on cars. It's dumber than stance, and even dumber than window stickers in cursive lettering, slightly tilted or no.

              It's almost as dumb as putting roll bars in stance show cars. Are you really going to roll the car trying to get over a speedbump?

                Because JDM. I mean what better way to show you live life on the edge than by needlessly spending money to run your engine oil through to a highly vulnerable location for limited gain?

                It was actually a legit motorsports thing common in Japan in the '70s.

                    I'm the farthest thing from a purist and I think it looks pretty damn bad, it just looks tacked on and doesn't look "right," like a '90s ricer body kit.

                      Its great that you can fit more rubber on your car but it just looks cobbled together. The coupe looks a bit better but overall it just doesn't look right. The price tag and the Swiss cheese car is pretty unappealing also.

                          my dog looked at it and shit all over the floor so i had to beat is ass! just kidding. seriously, it just gets uglier every time i look at it.


                          seems like a shitload of money to dump into an e30 that one will never even come close to getting back when its sold. it also seems like a lot of money to toss into the car only to have about 9/10ths of the community ridicule you.


                          MAYBE.......i could see this kit on a race car to tuck big tires under the fenders.....still ugly as hell though.(with all due respect of course)

                            Needs more sideways stickers, or it's not a real track car. it also needs to be lowered at least 3mm.

                            I guess this is just the next level of "stance". Make it look like a track car (with a cage!), but it'll never even make it out of the grocery store parking lot meets.

                              I don't hate the coupe.

                              But I do expect the driver to be wearing a flat bill monster energy cap.
