            I dislike the body kit you show, but it's a shame sometimes that we can give the impression that only certain parts are "approved"

            The gospel according to r3v (impressions we give, I admit to be a follower in regards to some of these)

            lemforder control arms ONLY
            SKF bearings ONLY
            IE stg III Springs and Koni SA shocks
            slipstreams and sportmaxx wheels
            Go s50 or go home
            Crossdrilled rotors are hype, get slotted now!
            bronzit is ugly
            eyebrows, angel eyes, and everything else on ebay is for losers
            205 tires are enough
            Stock brakes are sufficient
            if you have diving boards you must switch to euro bumps asap
            5 or 10% off MSRP warrants a group buy, which btw will be poorly handled
            who needs a/c?
            everyone knows how to do bodywork and paint
            mtecII steering wheel (small version though - otherwise you're not a eurho pimp)
            5-lug swaps are affordable and easy

            The list goes on, do what you want.

              It's your car, no need for us to approve of it. But most people on here don't stray away from the stock look that much.

                  Perhaps I should use words like front fascia or others.

                  I usually am not a fan of body kits outside of what the manufacturer makes (getting the M appearance for a non M car. so basically a swap for what is stock on another vehicle made by the same manufacturer)

                  I do not like the front lower on the E30's though and want something different.

                  Anyone know where an M-Technic fascia and skirts can be found.

                    There is a set of euro bumpers and M-tech1 front spoiler for sale in the F/S section. That is if you want an early car????

                      look for eurostyle (fillip) if you want a quality fiberglass kit (mtech2 or otherwise). buy on ebay if you want cheap, flimsy poorly fitting junk.

                        the problem with what you said about switching to the look of another car from the same manufacturer are that if the other car (ie the kit in this thread) doesnt match the style of your car (ie you have a boxy car and want to get a curvy body kit) it just looks out of place (ie stupid)

                          Thanks for your opinion

                          An example of what I was talking about with using ones from the manufacturer is like putting a M3 widebody kit on a regular E30. Stuff like that. Not trying to put an E90 fascia on an E30.

                            Thats it. You must be banned. M3's are NOT body kitted e30's. :hitler:
