Success! looks good

Attempt at blacking out some stuff






Failed, PlastiDip doesnt work so great unless you pull of the Part..

Ill retry sometime soon



Photoshop of my general plan, not everything but gets the idea,

gonna get new wheels, big fat ones :)
lower it on those JOM coilovers
tint, mtech1 bodykit

3/21 Update
Got a new kenwood stereo, just to plug my ipod in, definitely helps sound quality, it was only 60$ killer deal

fracture in the bottom of my coolant reservoir, replacing that

so the dash piece underneath the wheel is falling off, the one held on by like 3 weak plastic screws, ima fill everything with putty and redrill so it will stay up

and also my front right fog light is out, gonna fix that

5/23
stereo+sub install soon
ordered coilover sleeves, putting those on when i get them
slam it, shorten strut housing, get camaro inserts

this summer planning on painting,
going black

Woot for another potatoefolk! Are you on IMS?

[aPapester]

Well I guess not because I dont know what that is!

[MattAvino]

good start...well, maybe not the badge paint job.

[88SuperETABD]

Lol at badge. Nice try, but regular paint would have been better, also should scuff the letters. Or just take it off. (dental floss)

[Farbin Kaiber]

IMS = idahomotorsports.com

[aPapester]

Yeah Im going to peel it off and take off the lettering to try it,
Im not patient so it wasnt completely dry
and im also not patient enough to mask it perfectly in the tight spaces.

[CW325]

Good start. Trust me, it's worth being patient with your e30!

[Boise]

More Boise people, hell yea!

Nice car, keep the projects coming.

Edit: If you ever need local knowledge (or at least whatever the heck I know), give me a PM.

[noE30]

I'd just ditch the badge all together imo. Looks like a clean car though!

[RUFFLZ]

i lol'd @ badge

[Boise]

Your first picture gives me a craving for a gourmet cookie

[aPapester]

yeah gosh those letters are a joke, but hey trial and error I guess.

im looking at getting some new wheels and tires, i want some fat ones like 255 in the rear, where do you guys recommend getting em?

[Farbin Kaiber]

What wheels are you intending?

[aPapester]

Idk I really like BBS RX's but i don't have the cash to drop on those, and I want like 10inch in the back and 8 in the front. Where could I get a staggered set like that?
