      You try to tell yourself they look good till you delete them... I went to euros on one car and plastics on the other... What would you rather have.. Both cars are 87s..

        To be honest, you need to figure out those gigantic gaps on the red one. I will stick with my aluminum.
        If I want plastic I will buy a plastic bumpered car.

          Gaps? You mean the holes in the valance? Someday down the road ill get a euro valance, but going to school is more important right now. Its really the least of my concerns.

            The gray one is awesome - very similar to my car's stance. H&R Race?

              Visibility of spare tire well and exhaust
              (lack of rear valence)

              really turns me off..

              If I had a db car - I'd be more concerned about finding any form of acceptable rear valence than I would about going to plastics.

                Maybe if you pull up next to a pool and let hot women jump off of your diving board.

                Seriously....that's the only time I'd like them.


                Oh...and pushing shopping carts 30+ miles per hour into a curb is awesome too....HAHAAA

                  Intrax. The Red car has H&R race though.

                    I dont mind diving boards at all. Just look at Blunt's car. DB's look great on that car.

                    I like the look of plastic bumpers, but cant justify the added weight.

                    That said I put painted Euro bumpers on my car. I prefer chrome, but painted bumpers works just fine.

                      I just took of the plastic bumpers off of my 87 and replaced them with chrome euro's. I couldn't believe how heavy the plastics where.

                        +1 for plastic because they just looks so much better.

                        plastic > gone swimmin..

                          I like the DB but then again it's not the focal point of the front of the car.

                              i think i'm going crazy... my diving boards are slowly growing on me. i've had plastics and mtech 1, but for some reason the quirkiness of the DB's are slowly winning me over.

                                The DBs are even heavier than plastics too..
