    boooooooooooooooo it's all about the plastics. IMO better arches and better tails, the arches gives it a rake if ya do it right and a bit of tucking without being overly low with the early arches. The only draw back is you can't park it on the dock to go swimming

      I like the later arches and tails myself.. I hate the rear fender gap on early cars, even when they are lowered. I'd rather tuck a bit of tire.

        Some of us are still working out the kinks with that... :D

        I am a die-hard early-model E30 nut, I love the early tails and higher rear arches. I'm not a big fan of the late-model rear arches, I don't like tucking tire. I've got very little fender gap, if any. That's not to say I don't like the late-model cars, I like them a lot.

          Some of us have tire tuck front and rear with the early cars. :)

            I guess I am bias because I have an 87 but I like the early arches too.
            The newer ones with a drop look like ya got too much junk in da trunk.
            Don't get me wrong plastics are teh shit but I like the older arches.

                  early tails look so good,late style ones are way to fat.

                  as far as arches, well, I'm ok with ither since both my cars are iC's.
