How many Cabbie' owners are here???

[Dave]

My dad traded in his rusty Karmann Ghia for a 1976 Mercury Comet - basically like the one in this pcture, but 4 door.

POS and the vinyl seats seared our asses when we went to the swim club in the summer.

Its too bad your member title cant be longer... If we had R3V awards Dave would take home the:

"Best man to find a picture to post that nobody else could imagine, or locate"

I Heart Google Image Search. You just gotta be creative sometimes with your search terms and click a couple pages.

:rofl: What's sad is that I really would be fooled by someone telling me a car was one color when it was actually another.

I was the proud owner of a 95 eclipse in Durango Copper Pearl. I thought it looked great. Others called it "shitstain," "vagina", and other colorful names. Apparently what I saw wasn't what everyone else saw ;)

I always wonder what people were thinking when they buy certain cars in ugly colors or with silly graphics. Was it the only one on the lot? Was it truly what they wanted? Every ugly older car I see, I try so hard to picture some man or woman going out and buying it brand new, choosing it from a lot, being happy with the purchase. Knowing that even the ugliest of cars was someone's choice scares the shit out of me.

I don't know what's worse - the car companies for coming up with the ugly ass color combos and choices, or the customers that buy them that way.

Here's my Lagunengrün '91 318ic. I'm running E30 M3 springs, E30 M3 rear sway bar, Eibach strut bar, 14" basketweaves factory fogs and US spec ellipsoids.

quick pics of the cabby. I am almost done with the suspension (bilstein sports, IE3's, ST sways, New control arms, and IE sway links), 5speed swap is done. Stroker will be started in june. Should be a badass car once done. Oh ya, i have an early model iS front bumper on the way (will get the splitter for it aswell) and i have an iS rear spoiler to install as well. So ya, just another cabby driver checking in.

Will the plastic bumpers just plug into Ali//325i's car? I have the same look and I am reading about it and I am confused.

Yes.

Convertibles have the same profile rear arches as late model plastic bumpered cars. The bumper swap in the rear is plug & play.

In the front, you will want to change the valance as well. In orer to do that, you'll need to cut off the tow hooks. Other than that, its a bolt on job as well.

Ya I was going to get plastics but decided it wasnt worth the money. So instaed i have 2 options.



OR



I like both I just need to decide which one i am going to do. My car will be white and will have the same front bumper and splitter as those 2 cars.
