    1986 Diving boards and ebay body kits...

    So here's my story, i have a 1986 325e with (of course) US Spec Diving boards that we all love so much. So i was looking at some tutorials that were too difficult for me to do on my own, and i was actually considering doing the conversion so i searched eBay for IS or Euro Plastic bumpers and i found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/84-85...Q5fAccessories

    Now i was thinking... "What the hell is this??" and "How the fuck do these install??"

    The auction says it's for 84-87 and pre-'88 e30s are the ones that are hard to convert because of higher rear wheel arches, etc. Does anyone know how these install or if i'll need to do some sort of crazy modding to get them to fit?

    So I'm guessing none of you guys have bought these before? I've seen similar kits on another website and their ads said body shop installation required/ recommended. It'll be a long time before I get these. I still need to finish some minor things and suspension before I even think about body kits.

      Solved. I should've read the auction more thoroughly. I'll leave it to the body shop to install these when/if I buy them.

          Are they straight bolt-up or is there some sort of complicated install process?

            You have to drill two holes in the rear bumper, but other than that its a direct bolt-in replacement. They're pretty hard to find though.
