          On a e36 you remove those plugs, and insert the rod of the factory jack into the unibody to jack. I could have shaved them, but I like letting people know (smart people) its a OEM part.

          It's just the lighting, its called the sky.

          Door moldings were plated and welded, then plastic filler was used to smooth.
          Bumper trim was fiberglass backed, and plastic filler was used to shave. You can get away with alot of plastic filler on plastic parts because it bonds well, and changes shape/size with temperature alot like the plastic around it.

          Well since I have plastic bumpers on a early car I would have to chop up brand new euro trim. Seems a waste to me. Shaving the US trim only took me ~2hrs.

              The overcast sky hides alot of it in the lachs background. That, and the camera didn't capture it very well ;)

              Trust me tho, its filthy.

                    Looking good Jordan.

                    if I didnt have big ole side skirts, and went with something like that, our cars would almost be identical disregarding the doors and color. hah

                    but ya,whats next?
