    hey guys, just randomly looking through pics of DS cars online, do you think that my paint is overall faded? (it looks a lot grayer-than black) of most diamond schwarz cars i've seen online.

      It does look grayer than normal schwarz'. I dont think stage 1 paint on e30's could fade like that though? Is it that color in person too?

        i mean, can't really say.
        it had a repaint on the hood and roof a while ago, im not sure if that was original diamond schwarz from the dealer.

          moar mods! Lol fixed a trumpet that was set loose in the intake manifold, port matching n stuff. My pops made some spacers that lower when the torque comes in. Old beast needed some love, got the 4.6 running for the first time in two months.

            Your DS paint is a lot richer than mine was. After my re-spray, people thought I went from grey to black.

                Actually I just got rid of a pair of late model fogs but I've got some blank plates in case you want em. No mtech1 that's the only part I seem to have no luck on, been looking for one for my e30. But hit me on other stuff cuz I've got lots of random stuff.

                  My DS is gray as well...especially in certain light conditions. It is almost charcoal gray vs. a rich black. Personally I really like it.

                      Mine is the original paint so I'd say no...d schwarz is grayish.
