    I like the conglomoration of body pieces you have going on. Most people stick with one brand. You pull it off quite nicely. I do think that you should go back to chrome kidneys though. With the black ones they just dissapear and it looks like there are little pieces of the sheet metal missing from the front of the car where the cutouts for the bottom of the kidneys are.

      I leave the tow hook on for 2 reason. First is because I don't have the piece to cover the hole so I used the hook to fill it. Anyone know where I can get a cover for the tow hook? Second reason is I park my car in the city quite often during the week and for some reason i feel like it would protect my bumper in case someone parallel parks in front of me.

      I have to admit in the beginning I left it on there after track days b/c I thought it looked cool but I think it looks better w/out it.

      Thanks for the compliment. I feel like I need some lower sideskirts to match the rear apron when I look back at the pictures. In person I can't tell though. I agree with you on the kidney grills. I guess it's time to hit up the junkyards to look for some grills haha.

        Looks great but all I can stare at is the fitment on your bumper covers :)

                  Awesome E30 you got there. IMO you should leave this spoiler. Dropping this E30 is a must. Keep up the good work. Any pictures of the interior and engine bay???

                    i'd take the trunk spoiler off if i were you. but...you're running h&r sports with your bilstein hd's? i thought bilstein hd's can only be safely paired with h&r OE springs

                      Sorry it was so damn cold that day that I told my friend to skip the interior. Nothing special though but after I clean it up this weekend I'll try to take some unprofessional pictures. Just has the momo wheel, aftermarket deck, and black sport seats. I have those cluster rings on order which will ship out soon hopefully.

                      I read that the HR sport springs were supposed to match up with the Bilstein Sports but at the time I got the springs, my friend gave me the Bilstein HDs that he had on his car before upgrading to ground control co's, so I got them for free. They've lasted me a couple years so far w/out them blowing out on me. Only bad thing is the setup is softer than what I need in order to fit some wider wheels or add thicker spacers to even up the space in the rear.
