Yeah think Josh wrote it, http://www.r3vlimited.com/Tech/tuck.htm

Oh I didn't know it was in a writeup. A friend told me this story about a kid trying to tuck his bumpers....so he backed into a wall at a high rate of speed and ended up damaging his car.

I've heard of idiots backing into walls to try to get the rear bumpers to tuck.

I believe the preffered wall according to the writeup is a Safeway. There are two Albertson's that closed in town recently, I might have to try those, should be less conspicuous. (sp?)

I've heard of idiots backing into walls to try to get the rear bumpers to tuck.

When I saw the procedure done, they didn't go in at first....they had to drill ALL the way through before the shocks would compress.

AFAIK, the late model cabrio bumper shocks are also shorter than the standard e30.

That really looks MUCH better than stock.

I did the tuck procedure on a Wolfsburg Edition VW Cabrio that i had 15 years ago, but it never occurred to me to tuck my e30 bumpers.

I bought a plastic bumper car last weekend, but I may still pick up the white es that I've been looking at.

As a very wise man once said - one e30 is never enough.

I think I said that.

I'm not wise.

Tucked bumper

Here's mine. Though i don;t have a before picture.

I did the tuck on mine and I think it makes it look pretty good. Though it is only noticeable if you are looking for it. Least thats what I think. I will see if I can muster up some photos. But I will say when drilling the bumper shocks DEFINITELY put a plastic bag around the drill that thing shoots oil out in a heavy mist and it is nasty. I used the bag and it still sprayed out if the bag wasn't in just the right spot.
