          have you had any experience with them.
          i have had two e30 owners tell me they are very good, or i should say, rather good. and i looked at some chart going around, and the tokico shocks are matching preeetty good with competition.

              will i be hated if i tried something like this. my valance is fucked up, so i cannot put neither the scoops, nor the foglights, so i wanted to do something with the holes.

              also i was playing around with Paint.

                Filling the holes with flat plastic would be cool but not grills. Are those coilover springs seriously $24 plus shipping?

                    z50- i think i might get a few more opinions in the body/paint section, but i do consider that, now that you mention it.

                    they are racing hart s15. but somebody is coming to see them soon.they are gonna go for 250$to a friend, but he hasnt contacted me yet. he seemed interested, but i dunno why he is taking so long.

                        You should come out to the local auto-x with FSC CCA. http://fscbmwcca.org click on driving events

                        BTW: I wouldn't go on coils unless you plan on adjusting it every X amount of miles. Coil-over adjustments can go out of wack pretty quick. If you want something stiff; why not go with the TMS J-Stock setup?

                          Pretty decent job fixing it, but the hood on the drivers side is a tell tale sign. :(

                          My old car was the same no matter what I did, I couldnt get that hood to line up after replacing that fender.

                          The car overall looks great, but whats up with that front lip? Looks a little out of place.

                            easy fix for fender and hood alignment. release bolts on fender across top, pull fender out and tighten. For the hood, loosen the drivers side bolts, hold hood up and tighten down. should work.

                              It can be, sure. Depending on how hard you were hit.. If he pulls the fender out, he has a grill that looks pushed in.

                                i just finished painting all the shadowline black today, as well as retouching the door rubber strips. im going to tackle the hood tomorrow.
                                with the coilovers ill be ok, i wont drive the car that hard lol. ill later get the eibach springs for the coilover kit. and it will all be good.
