Am I the only one who likes diving boards?

[Wishno87]

i dont mind them that much if they are tucked but the late model valence makes them alot better. sort of like the front end of an 88 but with painted bumper surrounds

Diving boards FTW... they take soooo much abuse.
like pushing shopping carts at high speeds into curbs.

The only reason I am content with diving boards (on E30s) is because the later cars with plastics were heavy... Theres around 200 to 250lbs more weight in the late cars than there was in the early cars... SUCKAS!!

Euro bumpers on an early body is the best possible combo, period. Why go through the trouble of sticking a 240hp S50 into your late car when you are already at a 200lb disadvantage?

I like plastics better than DBs, and I am still not quite convinced on Euros.

My DBs, tucked, painted, "is" lipped (the car is a 325is) look OK, but still no cookie.

I do really dislike the late arches, and everyone these days seems to be rocking early/plastic, so no thanks there either. I still wonder if an arch transplant is even possible!

I just have no clue what is gonna happen for me, but it will happen before the respray.

DB are okay for beaters but never look as good as plastics, euro chromes are better.

Bronzit is awesome.

I'd rather have a non-Bronzit DB car than a Bronzit with plastics.

Bumpers are less work to me than a full proper (engine bay included) respray.

I see nothing wrong with tucked diving boards.

Bronzite is the silver of the 80s.

If the extra weight is the result of plastic bumpers, then there no worse place for the additional poundage - as far aft of the axles as possible and relatively high :shock:

Late arches look good on cabby's, but I like big arches on coupes. Either way with sedans.

The 'copper' car with the 'oxidization'(?) is a prime example of why I like DB's.

Nice!

I like that valence with the non-tucked DB's too. That valence, when viewed from the side of the car, has a perfect transition from the wheel arch to the base (bottom edge) of the spoiler... a thing of beauty.

I love bronzite w/ diving boards (when done right):

Drrooool :D

Hahaha. i wondered if any of those pics would show up. I just had painted sigs and a removed plate mount with the bumper painted to match underneath. Looked good from like 15' away but was halfassing it in my eyes.



Few changes. I don't mind them now, but I wish I had the time to shave out the sidemarkers. I have the nonsense to do it lying around and no time.

Also have euros that I was going to work some magic on, but I'm probably selling em.

[AlarmedBread]

I like em, +1 on shaved side markers ;)

Also, it IS nice to be able to walk on your bumpers for enjoyment.
