      just more places for rust to hide

      Aside from that, it's ok but not blended enough with the stock e30 lines.
      If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

        Doesn't follow the body lines well enough. The rear looks better than the front for sure.

          Do not like. E30's are great and unique because they are boxy and simple. It looks very bloated to me

With mods it will fit early model metal bumpers. We are working with street standard on this first build to showcase the car at Bimmerfest and SEMA. Of course it will be packing all the Garagistic goods under that body. Street standard wanted to use a vert so thats how it will be showcased. Stay tuned.
            Will you become a distributor for the kit? <3

                  $3800 to ruin your car? I'm guessing that includes the wing, 4 overfenders, front bumper/spoiler and rear bumper spoiler? Fender flares are alright since they are small. They don't really affect the lines of the car but these are much larger. Sorry, not a fan of overfenders but to each his own.

                    What a stupid way to waste $3800. One could put together a really nice drivetrain for that.

                      I'm not opposed to the "overfenders" but two things come to mind....

                      - Couldn't they be made so that they are fastended from the inside so you don't have the rivets/hardware exposed? Sure you'd still have to drill holes, but it would make for a much cleaner look.

                      - The rear flare needs to come much further back. Almost to the tail lights.

                      - I'd leave the trunk and front alone, just do the "overfenders", that will keep the cost way down, be functional, and a great option for the reduced price.

                        Came here to talk shit.

                        Now I'm unable to.

                        Looks cool.

                        Unfortunately I see a lot of piss poor hack job installs and a reboot of the early 2000's primered body kit phase.

                        Oh, and lots of ruined e30 fenders/quarters.

                            I like it, but $3,800 is just ridiculous. Still I'm glad Garagistic is the distributor. Hopefully they make a lot of money off it and that can go into R&D for more products for our e30s!

                              You know.. Rocket bunny sells parts of kits too. You dont have to buy the whole kit if you don't like some of what includes.

                                This... Not to mention most Rocket Bunny kits are MSRP'd at $3800-$3900 but realistically sell for around $3000-$3200 without having a "hook up".
