    Wish you had left the black trims on the bumper but it looks good. Now get it lowered!

      I always wanted to see how the white would look. I like it personally, but I may get a black trim set if I change my mind. Nothings every permanent anyway :P

      OH, the car is now a manual.. I can drive 5 speed and I don't understand why anyone would ever want to drive automatic. The only scary thing is going up the steep stop sign hills/ lights on a hill in PA.

        ^True. You will go through more than one look along the way in your cars journey. Might as well try different things.

              If you must keep the white trim, put black door handles on & shadowline your window trim.

                This. Or maybe have the sideview mirrors black. A bit of contrast goes a long ways.

                I think weaves would look nice too

                  I'm debating about putting the textured back to black, maybe the front and black bumper trim. I like the way it looks but it does have a lot of white. It's still better than it looked when I first got it though. It's come a long way.

                    This...this is a lesson more females should learn from you, lol.

                    Props on learning it on your own...its the best way. I've been around cars all my life, but this is the 1st European car I've owned (and a badass choice for the 1st one) and I'm still learning a ton from this car.

                    Car is coming along nicely...but I do agree, that's a lot of white! Do the door handles and side mirrors in black, it will make a world's difference.

                        I can drive stick now, and I know it's a lot of white.. But no one ever says "It's too much black" on a black e30. I like my car, it's different, and if I followed the exact taste of every other e30 on here it wouldn't make mine unique or individual. Maybe I'll change the door handles, maybe not. I'd rather worry about suspension and replacing my sunroof motor, and power steering pump. Those are what are broken/shot and more important to me over fixing cosmetics right now.

                        Besides, I spend 3 months sanding/wet sanding priming and prepping it for paint. It doesn't look perfect but I'm proud that I did all the prep work on my paint job. It's a rewarding feeling.

                          Oh I know, its your car...just voicing an opinion. Again, props to you doing all this yourself! The fact that you said you're focusing on suspension should tell us all you're heading in the right direction.

                          Sucks about the sunroof motor, crank sunroof from the factory FTW!! Haha, literally my favorite thing about my car.

                            So the cars been put back together since a bunch of shit was stolen. Skirts and lip don't match entirely but it's close enough.

                            New suspension, running h&r/bilsteins.
                            Gave in and got tint because its too damn hot in Florida.

                              Looks like it's coming together nicely. Only thing I'd change is the wing on the back. Looks out of place for some reason.

                                Looks great. I like all white on your car, not sure why though as I love black trim.

                                Also, that baby needs some wheels. It would really pull off some ronal ls well with that drop and look
