looks awesome man, it needed that.
a few questions....
What are the 2 circles in the side skirts? any way to shave them if done over again?
Is it the lighting or is the infinity lip a shade or two off from the rest of the body?
What did you use to fill the door mouldings and trim?
is there any advantage over filled US trim rather than euro trim (asthetically, besides cost?)
like I said, looks awesome, now grab some fogs and be done with the bitch (visually at least) good work!Dan

If I am not mistaken, the holes are used on the e36 as jacking points. They pop off and the jack can hook up there.

Man, that is so dirty... NOT. I only wish my car had that much "dirt" on it when its clean.
I hate to be a pest, but how did you fill your trim? I did mine with a heavyweight fiberglass, but I have cracks in mine already. When my friend helped me with TJs old reiger lip we used a combination of lightweight fiberglass, and glaze. No cracks, nothing. Your job is first rate. Definite props.Old and improved:
