Nice looking car. That is one of the things I like best about Brilliant is that it changes color with the lighting like no other paint color.

Opinion on the PZeros? and what kind of guitar do you play?

[bwanac]

Nice. :up: :up:

Whats with all the newbies lately???

You shoulda posted up earlier!

that and cameras often don't do it justice ;)

The Rossos are absolutely excellent. On most of my previous cars, the best tires i had were ultra high A/S or at best a kumho 712 (great for the money, btw)

These hands down outperform my best expectations for them; laser-instant steering, mounds of grip, you can break 'em loose but it takes quite some effort (or quite some one-tire, go open diff!!) but they get back in line in a hurry. I can't imagine a more well-defined performance tire.

I play many guitars :) all kinds of music, long as its fun... everything from blues to metal, jazz to shred, whatever :)

there's nothing better than a really clean E30.. nice job!

[NORCAL/E30]

Thats it. I've made up my mind. Because of those pics I'm now putting ASA JR1s on my car. :shock: Thanks for helping me clear this up. :D

Another prime example of why the rear trunklid needs no spoiler to look amazing. Definitely removing mine.

I think it looks absolutely stunning either way. No spoiler is a little cleaner but with the spoiler on it gives our cars a nice subtle exterior enhancement. :)
