    3 large pictures with the new hood.

    Would have taken more today, but it was overcast with scattered showers and I gave up after it started to rain for the 20th time. All the little black spots are bugs. Stupid bugs...

    After seeing more and more pics with the painted hood, I dig it a lot more than the CF one now.

    Thanks for the new wallpaper bro!

      Looks very professional Jordan! Every time I see new pics of your car it just seems to look even better! I liked the other hood but I have to admit, it sure looks very, very nice how it is now! Awesome work,

        I too think it looks clean as hell with the new hood. Love it man. One of the nicest examples of an e30 in the U.S. Did you paint your headlight rings body color?

        The headlight rings are painted a stock silver. Most peoples rings are sandblasted and whatnot.. no longer silver.

            Looks a little tighter on the driver side than the passenger.
            Cheers.

              Ha, bugs don't obey you. You should beat them up......they make your artpiece dirty!

                I haven't fit the hood yet... I layed it on the hinge (poped up) bolted it in place using experience as a guide, and shut it. Hasn't been open since, havent had time to mess with it.

                  Absolutely breathtaking shots. The 2nd one is my new wallpaper.

                  Outstanding work, Jordan.

                      very nice!!!

                      Just something you might want to consider:
                      The intake right above the oil cooler looks a little messy, perhaps you could paint whatever is back there black??

                      Just a suggestion.. as always, looks hot.

                        No. Actually it looks very clean. Thats why you can see it. Its called the core support. It holds the radiator up. You can't see yours because your car is messy. ;)

                            Looks much better without the CF hood - good choice.
                            I don't know if its the angle you took the first picture at but it looks like you need to bend both edges of the top of the valence down where it meets the fenders. This is especially noticeable on the driver's side.

                              Its just the reflection and lack of ambient light that makes it obvious. There is no "bending it down"
