    NJGB-Shadow Line Update

    She got backed into in my driveway, suffered a broken headlight, grill, smashed fender and hood. The bumper was pushed in but pulled it out, pounded out some dents and put all new clear Hellas in. Figured I'd paint the old white trim around the windshield and grills, side molding, mirrors, rear window and door handles.

    From Last Summer When I Bought It:




    After I Fixed It Up:


    Now: Shadow Line:

    You should paint the rings that go around the headlights black also...and why wouldnt you cover the window when you did your trim?

            hahaha, yeah the overspray was taken care of this morning. Clean razor takes it off the windows in record time and the hood just wipes off. No need to worry bout that stuff. It's a cheap car and I just wanted to paint the old fade chrome and window trims. $20 of paint and tape mixed in with a night of beer, it's not picasso but it I like it.

                      You never seen a car with dirt in the wells? Or dents? The fuck bros?

                      I guess I need to tuck my bumpers, get some ground control coils, rotas with white walls and and slick my hair back to fit in here...

                      I don't give a shit honestly, I have two other cars that eat up my cash, one being a 300AWHP Volvo and and a 330WHP RX7 that are more pleasing to the eye. This is my $500 beater that gets driven in fields and farm roads. I'm not going to spend the time or energy to try to please anyone other than myself. You don't like it, fine with me. No need to come off like a bunch of snotty fucks.

                      I'm fucking tired of this shit on here, the majority of this club seems super gay. Like, OMG your car isn't flawless?? Get a fucking clue and learn to have fun with your cars rather than try to get man ass with your poke and tuck crap. I've seen a few dudes who seem to have their heads on straight and down to earth, guys who make useful posts with out a bunch of attitude. Most of this club is filled with opinionated assholes who think they are better than everyone else.

                      Fuck it. Hate on if it makes you feel good. :up:

                        There's a pretty harsh contingient of haters here. If it's not on BBS Rs001's (which for the record, look tits) with a fresh paint job on "I take up two spaces when I park" perfect body, it gets hate. I can't wait to see the response when I sand off "fresh" paint to do some body work and spray my Alpine II satin drab olive green ;)

                        I dig it, dude. It looks like a fun little smasher. Any plans? The shadow line, while not done "right" works and is a definate improvement. Get a moderate drop so you can rally that SOB around ;)

                            or more like people are just dumbfounded on why you would even update us on your new shadowline if you fucked the rest of your car up with overspray. maybe it pains us, for the people who love their e30's, when it doesn't seem like you give two shits about it. Trust me I know im not 100% right on this or else you wouldnt be on r3v.

                              Thanks for the realism.

                              I already got some H&R Sport and Bisltein Sports installed which seem to hold up well in the fields:


                              It's got fresh everything mechanically and runs like a champ. Even though this one isn't fast it sure does go just fine.
