    But those are E30 touring side skirts, right?
    People use to call it design edition side skirts too, dont ask me for what reason, since they are not...
    Correct my If I'am wrong, but OEM is do not have any different side skirts beside the standard E30 ones.

        - suspension is IE Stg3 springs with spring pads in the rear to reduce/eliminate the illusion of reverse rake, h&r sport dampers in all four corners. e30 m3 5-lug suspension. credit goes to the PO for the stance and the 5-lug conversion
        - yes, there is a dent in the pass. side front fender (also courtesy of the PO)

          I like it Drew! Its got a classy look, the front lip spoiler definitely needs to be color matched now but the rear could probably stay...

              thanks buddy! i was hoping i could leave the lip alone (especially since it will start collecting rock chips immediately after painting) but it looks like i will need to break open the wallet AGAIN.

                          had the lip painted. car is finally starting to come together, looks-wise. i want to be able to stop sinking money into cosmetic mods -- i *think* i can live with the stock rear apron. i freaking love this car!

                            How did you retain the top part of the skirt to the car?
                            I ask because I'm ready to install mine but not a fan of drilling or screwing stuff.

                              automotive double-stick tape. it doesn't work great - you have to prep really well and it was a bit of a trial and error process - but i finally got it to stick in a manner that is satisfactory to me. i, too, did not want to drill baby drill.
