    Ditch the ghetto DTM tipped muffler. Looks ghey.

    All white isnt my bag, but congrats on a good paint job and getting back your toy!

      Your car is spectacular. I love white e30's, especially clean newly painted ones. I would have to agree on the black wheels with polished lip to add some contrast. But very nice!!!

          Congrats on getting your ride back after such a long wait. The paint job has totally transformed your car.. It looks very nice as is but as some of the guys have already said, black rims with polished lips would make it even nicer!!

            That new paint job is gorgeous. Could you get some shots of it in sunlight, and of the whole car? I don't think those pictures do it full justice. :)

            Sure, could use some more contrast, but I love it. :D

              sorry about not having new pictures, its been raining here in new york the past couple days. i will get them as soon as i can. as for the whole contrast issue, i dont really understand what you all mean. i was going for the more modern clean look, so im not sure what else to modify. would shadowlining work?

                All white is just blah and boring. You should have left the moldings black.

                            Looks great... but I think you should have left the plastic bumper trim and door trims black.
                            The white paint on your front bumper especially is going to have tons of stone chips. It will have tiny black dots all over. Make sure u touch it up all the time :)
                            I just had my car fully re-painted sept 03, and the IS lip has 3 mini spec stone ships on it. I touched up all of them already
                            check www.griotsgarage.com for the little touch up tools if you are as fanatical as I am when it comes to car care. (I use mini tipped q-tip things they sell for touch ups)
                            here is a used yellow touch up tool..that my brother used today on his black e28

                                Man, was that really needed?

                                It looks good to me! Maybe if you tinted the windows, smoked the sidemarkers and get smoked front turnsignals, smoked taillights/headlights/foglights and black out the grille..... 8)
