    What does post count have to do with his opinion? I agree with him. The front end of Big bumper cars doesnt look bad with the bumper pushed in, but the rear is just hideous no matter how you look at it. eww.

      for some reason the back end of a diving board car always reminds me of a duck. QUACK!

                euro chromies or go home! maybe the M3 front bumper looks a little better than diving boards!
                must agree myself with this man-- I would never ever own a diving board car-at least keep it that way.
                now eurospeed, your car does look really nice, but would look nicer with euro chrome.

                  Thanks, Mike. I just love this front airdam too much to part with it. If I could find a way to mate the iS airdam up to the front euro bumper, I'd be all over that shit like white on rice.

                    I don't like euro bumpers that much (looks bare undeneath).

                    And I don't want to go through the hassle of trimming the rear plastics to fit and still have no valance underneath.

                    I will just find a rear for my boards if anything.

                    Sold it.

                      thats what M tech I is for!! I hate the rears of the early cars too, shows too much of the underside of the car-- M tech takes care of that problem.

                      I have to say i dig the front valances of the U.S IS/ES cars too.

                          And body colored plastic bumpers would look better than body colored divingboards...

                              Normally, I would agree. But in the case of my car, I don't. With plastics, my car would look just like every other black late model. The black compressed diving boards with the iS airdam will set it apart.

                                Being set apart isn't always a good thing :)
