      That's it poking out the back in the first two pictures. I ended up bending some tube to bypass the cat because it was held on with drywall screws, idk what the PO was thinking when he did that. It's all hooked up now though and I like the way it turned out. Thanks for hooking me up with the catback.

      I saw you were trying to sell the turbo m42? How's that coming?

        Ah nice, but drywall screws? hahaha. NP, glad it worked out and I think it was a walker muffler.

        Yeah its slow as I haven't really officially listed it yet, but my old man says to do so I will be making a FS post in the next few days. If nothing happens then it will just get parted out.

          I'm really steering away from 17" wheels on e30's (except M3s), but these always work in 17"

                  Looks good! Clean up the door side trim/molding, I had the same problem with it not matching the rear/front molding in terms of color/fade and it will look even better :)

                          Yeah it is a Walker muffler. I hope it goes in once piece, it would be a shame to see such an awesome car be parted. Best of luck.

                          You're right, I've been thinking about getting some of the plasti-dip stuff for it but school has taken up a lot of time and now I've got two EMT positions blah blah blah.

                          As much as I really appreciate all the compliments I have to say the car isn't as nice as it looks in the pictures. The car has been repainted, maybe more than once, and the clear is basically gone on the roof which really brings out the AEM sunroof (PO tricked me saying it was "rare"). The passenger door is a different shade, and the front left quarter is a different shade and texture. I put together some nuts and bolts and o-rings to fill the holes in the trunk left from when the spoiler came off.

                          A face only a mother could love right?

                            They're rarely as nice as they look in the pics. But the only one that usually bothers is the owner. It's part of the sickness that comes with putting so much into the car. Everyone is always telling me how perfect my car looks, and all I can see are all the little things that are wrong with it.
