    How to render your rear view mirror uselss - NO 56K

    Damn German Ricers!
    I installed a MA Shaw rear wing with a carbon DTM flap.

    Onto the pictures:














    From the last autocross:





    All pics were taken on a Kodak P&S with a little editing to them.

    What is different from last time.

    - I obviously installed a new rear wing.
    - 332mm Wilwood BBK from Massive (LOVE IT)
    - Painted the front lip
    - Full Houndstooth interior- still looking for black door handles if you have them!
    - Smoked front lights
    - Installed my euro grilles

    Coming in the next few months:

    - Black Carpet, rear deck shelf, and speaker covers.
    - Removing the ugly purple tint.
    - DTM CF non vented mirrors from Markus
    - New Odysee Hawker battery
    - Black bumper tape the front bumper
    - CF front splitter (If it isnt too low after the camber plates go in)
    - Fill in the side markers
    - Install euro tow hook covers
    - Install CF Brake ducts
    - Install my camber plates up front (THIS IS THE BIGGIE, it will drop the car another 1/2" in the front and let me camber the front. It will be sick)
    - New wheels

    Questions and comments welcome.

    I love just about everything about this car except for the wheels.. I must say that I rather loathe the look of those on an e30. Just my opinion.

    EDIT: All red tails would be slick.
    If at first you don't succeed, find a bigger hammer.

      I am diggin it. Your car looks to be well balanced. At first i really disliked the front lip but its been painted and it seems like you are pulling it all together very nicely. Cant wait to see what comes next!

          Very aggressive looking. Nice pictures - except the last "hdr" one.

                You can buy them aftermarket, but it's a fairly easy and simple DIY.



                Wow, looks like I'm really the odd man out on my opinion of the wheels lol.

                  You all DROOL over SSR comps right...... these are damn near the same thing. Just more concave :giggle:

                      I actually don't like SSRs either lol. I guess I'm more a fan of the older wheels styles; meshes/weaves, ronals, etc. Just my opinion, I'm not going to judge you because I don't like your wheels. I think you have every right to like those wheels and by all means put them on your car, it's your car and your canvas upon which to paint your tastes and idividuality.

                          Didn't heat up the paint enough when you rolled the fenders huh? :(

                          Looks good dude. Those brakes are drool worthy.
                          paint sucks

                            Wheels, tail, and hood don't work at all for me. Makes the car appear patched together. Still undecided on the interior. And that last photo sums it up---kinda Kiddieland.

                              i think SSR's are uglier than your wheels. i think the wheels are ok...but seriously get wider tires.
