355 days of ownership

[Aptyp]

Day I bought it (after car wash) 6.13.2008


As she stands today:




Things I've done:

• eS/iS spoiler reinstall
• Hella 550 fog lights
• AC Schintzer skirts
• AC Schnitzer rear apron
• Alpina Headunit with completely rewired audio
• DEPO Smileys
• 5-lug swapped on style 73 wheels
• e36 steering rack
• Stainless Steel brake lines from Turner
• URETHANE EVERYTHING this time, and replaced all of AKG
• Roof rack.

Hopefully in the next 355 days I'll be reporting a turbo :)

awesome progress. What do those skirts go for?

[Aptyp]

probably a lot, i got lucky and one of dealership guys let them go for $100

[MikeK]

holy progress! Delphin is so much sechy tyme. :)

[Trucidatio]

you need to get a fairing for your rack. Makes it look so much better.

Looks awesome!!!! I kinda like it without the fairing... great job!

[grantlacey11]

car looks sweet! i would say lose the brows up front and pick up a fairing! im jealous of your 5 lug swap.

Good progress!

[Aptyp]

i like fairings, but I tend to move things that fairing gets in the way of. and I take rack off whenever I'm taking along distance trip, so it fits behind front seats very well.

Going very good Aptyp ! :up:

If I may be so forward...., losing the eyebrows will tie & clean it up nicely. :)

Looks excellent, Art. I completely forgot this thing was 5-lug, that's dope.

BTW, that rack mount to the chrome trim I guess? I've been thinking about getting one for my car for whenever I'm riding in the mountains, but if it mounts on the chrome trim/gutter, I'd probably be much too concerned about it staying up there.

[Aptyp]

it does, like all other racks out there. Putting on and taking off is a breeze. I've haul lots of things on roof racks (sofa, 8 12x2s, e30 doors, e30 hood, etc.) and it's very strong.

and I'm a big boy.... 250lbs on a light day

[robrez]

Stance and proportions are perfect.

[TDE30]

^ Ha, I can't imagine what the neighbors were thinking when they drove by that shoot. :D

That might be my only real option for hauling mountain bike(s) since I've got a stationary rear seat.

[N2MYE30]

I see they finally fixed that spot on the wall. :)

Looks good Art!
