      Nice car, but I would have stuck w/colored sidemarkers and turns. The clear looks out of place when compared to the taillights.

        Yes.. it used to be bronzite. Your right about the clears, I am probably going to go back to all red.

          I thought those wheels looked familiar.

          How much was the respray? Why did you do it, just sick of bronzit?

          BTW, I like the clear sidemarkers. They look good with the chrome window trim.

            A friend of mine owns a body shop who did it for twenty four hundred. The paint is still fresh therefore it has not been waxed yet. The car is actually pretty dirty in the pics. The color looks awesome in sunlight. I can honestly say the pictures you see do not do justice. I will post more pics later.

              Badass, dude. Hookups are indeed the SHIT.

              Looks like he did a great job. Could we get some closer shots of the paint?

              It really looks great, that's seriously one of the best looking E30's I've ever seen.

                  That car is fresh, rims are perfect fit for it. Not overdone, but god damn. I love it.

                        Sharp car. Don't care for the wheels, but that aside.. looks good.

                        Was it painted properly (everything removed) or just a exterior respray masking everything off?

                            The wheels are 16ASA JS 1's with the center caps off and the tires are 205/45. Thanks for the comments. As for your question Jordan; the car is no where near what your car went through however it is no one day piant job either. Every single molding window (sunroof) panel came off the car before getting a respray however the engine compartment as not been sprayed (YET), depending on my decision with engine mods next year, ill respray it once the engine comes out of the car. As for the wheels, I am leaning towards Alpina Kopis or Ronal LS.

                              Ditto. I don't like the side markers and turn singals either, but the rest looks gorgeous.

                              Kopi's would suit that car far better than Ronals, I think.
