i wouldnt shadowline it. it looks terrible on black cars in every type of light but one.


Gives it the "hey look what this rattle can can do!" look.

(speaking having shadowlined my black car before, then removing it, lol)

Not if done properly with SEM trim paint. :p

I must admit I like the "old" better. But have fun with the older ;) My bro has one and although it's a pain in the ass, it's interesting to say the least.

I already have an e30 m3 project, I wanted something different. I've owned 3 E30s now, and I wanted something a bit bigger.

Im excited to see this, ever since my buddy got an e24 last year ive been wanting one for a project

Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm definitely shadowlining the front and rear windshield trim, and the mirrors. The rest will be decided once I see how the car looks with just that.

While chrome looks classy, I only like the look with euro bumpers. Those aren't in the plans for now, I might go with the later "World Bumpers" instead. We'll see though, first is suspension, and my 18" Alpinas. Those will make the car look and handle 10x better! :D

BTW if you guys like this project and my M3 build, just wait to see what crazy things we have in store for Chris Castro's E34 Touring! :ohsnap:

nice pick up chris!

[mikeedler]

or gloss shadowline like the e46 and newer BMWs. I think it looks great, and the perfect middle.

looks great Chris, congrats on the purchase. I love it and all your plans sound awesome. I say +1 on the shadowline.

If anything, definitely paint the mirrors and front and rear windshield trims, the window trim could look dope chrome.
