New Guy Around w/ 1991 AWII 318is

[ISB E30]

Hey all, my name is Mikey. I live in good ol' Greer, S.C. and I just came into the E30 world from the DSM side of things and just wanted to say hey and post a couple pics of my car so far. I currently have some XXR 522 in 16x8 0 offset fitment ready to go on, I am just waiting on tires to come in (205/40) Hope you enjoy!

Oh and if anyone is interested, I can post pics of the past and present DSMs lol

Welcome to R3v, you might want to do something about the Home Depot snow plow of a lip you have there quick....

[ISB E30]

Yea... lol. A few to many beers and boredom with my buddies turned bad real fast hahaha. I plan on putting my real lip on today actually. haha

[E-Thirty]

Keep the basket weaves on. :p

[MG325i]

Keep the basket weaves on. :p

run some spacers and your good to go. and! paint your mirrors back to white...

[bimmer_E30]

sell me the basket weaves

[5spoke]

stop that. stop that right now.

[325ix]

Just out of curiousity, what did you make that lip out of?

[DREWHALL]

Mirrors looks goofy. Would be cooler black bases with white outer part thingy. Looks clean aside from that and the lip.

[ISB E30]

The mirrors were all fudged up when I got the car. It looks like someone used Aircraft stripper on them and melted the plastic. I am looking for replacements now and the lip is off as soon as my new one comes in.

i hope you dont have bad taste like most of the DSM crowd.

itll be a nice car when you finish fixing the obvious

[Dave McLaren]

What is DSM?

[Civilian]

Post the DSMs please.

[RainierHooker]

Other than the afore-mentioned obvious problems, it looks like a good starting point.

Oh, and... Cleaned and Spaced Stock Weaves > Sportmaxxxxxors

[ISB E30]
