Im getting a good price on this Evo-Look kit (bumpers & skirts) for 600 shipped. wondering if anybody has input as to how well this fits on the e30? mine is a 91 318is.
I would suggest against anything from ED, but that's just me. There are many other ways to do what you want for less, While that kit is $600 shipped, I expect about $2000 at minimum for a bodyshop to paint and install. At that price, you could source two used bumpers from an m3, plus e36 m3 sideskirts, and install factory parts, and the fitment would be better than anyone could get those parts to. Did you see the lazy construction on the backside of the front bumper?

I don't have a keen eye to stuff like that as i've never really delt with bumpers (Previous cars were M3's with good bumpers) thanks for the input, I shall stray away!
I'm painting the whole car so I dont care about painting expenses, but it does look like it feels cheap.

And, this is from a bodyshop guy, so it's not like I'm the crazy outsider guy with no experience. Of note, ED crap was junk back in 1996-97 when I remember them first coming out on the Honda scene. Crappy blue gelcoat all the cars, hide it's quality with underglow!
Those bumpers look like they are made out of plasticine and the fit and finish shown in the photos is horrific. The scary thing is that you would assume that the photos they used on the website represent the absolute best example of their work you could expect, so I would be deeply afraid of what their average quality products would look like.
