Photos of my POS on campus at UMASS Amherst

[jasonsnoddy]

looks badass, diggin the mirrors. making your car how you like it is more important than making it so internet no-names like it.

I've seen you in local area. I was driving my e36 M3 last time. Bunch of us E30 guys in greater Springfield area.

Yeah you will likely see more of my e39 540i, I work in Holyoke so Im sure I am down around you alot.

Paint the black front+rear valances white.
Paint the neon green mirrors white.
And stop calling it a piece of shit.

Calling what it is, a 89 e30 = POS

You have green mirrors. That's all I got from this thread.

You read good sir.

paint the valence white and it'll look 2x as good

It was white when I got it, deff doesn't look better that way.

i like the black valence

Thank you

Sweet, i went there for the open house at Umass Amherst last Sunday, i saw one grey e30 with bottlecaps.

Umass is a fun school, Im in my 5th and final year

Can't wait till I have my E30 on campus...

I cant wait to put my e30 up for the winter

Dammit wish I were in College still!!!! The times............

Tru Dat

It would look so much better all white as opposed to: white, black and green.

But then how would it look any different than any other boxy 80's white car?

I think the car is pretty cool except for I am hating the green mirrors.

Why thank you.

Lime green iS lip, lime green cailpers and paint the door handles black. Other than that I like everything =)

P.S. clean that engine bay up, needs to have some love in there other than a painted cover.

Green calipers will happen this winter when I get RX7 calipers, and re-do the brake setup. The calipers is what will pull the whole car together.

green wheels!

You know, when I get dedicated a R-compound set I might just do that

Your mirrors look absolutely ridiculous, considering no other visible part of your car is green. At least make a half-assed attempt at a color theme. Like someone else said, color match your lip and wheels. Other than that it looks good.


Also i call bullshit on the no hipster in you. Anyone rocking lime green wayfarer knock-offs and lime green laced dunks has had at least one hipster in them. BOOM! See what i did there?

Half assed attempt. Show me your under carriage, or all the parts color matched on your car.

Click my build thread before you think the only thing green is my mirrors.

Hipster?
- DC skate shoes

- Wayfare's that were given out for at the student development event we participated in.

See what I did there? Made you look like the Dupa you are Mr. Asshat.

I love lime green painted car parts (see sig) but the mirrors......

But you should keep them anyways.

You could paint your valences white, chuck a roundel on their, and paint your mirrors. But then your car would look like everyone elses.

Very true sir.

because you asked for opinions....

ditch the green mirrors. tehy are of the ghey

Good thing I take it in the seat.

you do realise you have green mirrors right?

Shit, your right I should paint them white!

[vandol]

looks good

black mirrors to go along with panda theme

[navid41691]

The whole car reminds me of a toyota ae86 for some reason.

Well said.

[Jaxx_]

I like the green mirrors, but I hope you're not taking other peoples styles.

[xikyle]

green wheels!

yes! big . 5 spoke acs green!

[Regnar75]

hmm i like it

ok you wanted opinions im not going to say change everything, i wouldnt go for this look but your obviously trying for a certain look that im understanding sooooo...
-definetly a fan of the calipers being green
-door handles black
-leave the black valence buut
-level out the black paint from front to middle to rear like this V


-possibly your rear view mirror green
-black out kidneys
-get oldschool MASS license plate (im a RIslander so im almost positive ive seen them green)
-ok so its hard to see but right around the grille and lights i put a thin green line...idk why i just thought it needed some fine touch...and ta da
my rough draft on windows paint...


just brainstorming for you

[Thehemiman]

You can't get green plates in Mass anymore..

[M-technik-3]

Green plate is a dying breed.

[A Sucked Orange]

mirrors, shoes, sunglasses, flat bill are retarded. <3

[JasonC]

I think....It has too many doors. The black valances make it look like theres nothing there. Atleast do as said above and level out the black on the car. The colored mirrors remind me of something a WV boy would do, like "LOOK AT ME!!!!" And the lime green laces would be cool on different shoes...

[Regnar75]

oh

Green plate is a dying breed.

i always thought, that dogs...laid eggs, and i learned something today.:nice:



and if you really dont want a roundel (idk why not) at least fill in the hole where it goes and paint over it white. smooth it out so it looks like thats what you wanted, instead of looking like you parked in the wrong neighborhood

This may be true, I like the green though.

The whole car reminds me of a toyota ae86 for some reason.

Keeps being said, while I personally don't agree with this, I am flattered.

I mean an ae86 is one of the most iconic 80s car.

I like the green mirrors, but I hope you're not taking other peoples styles.

Lol, well not really. No offense but I have never seen your car before. My car looks quite a bit different as far as style is concerned.

yes! big . 5 spoke acs green!

Not sure about all green. A friend of mine has suggested 1 spoke green, very Ken Block style. I cant decide if I would like that.

Maybe? But honestly green stoppers will do it.

Dude your the man, that was alot of time spent giving me feed back. Helpful post unlike most of these.

Respect!

I know Bumma, I mean I would love a green plate, cause you dont even need a front plate if you still have green.

Unfortunately you can transfer them to other people, and they are actively recalling all the green plates for paint chipping and such. This is because they want everyone on the new ones.

mirrors, shoes, sunglasses, flat bill are retarded. <3

Flat Bill, WTF are you talking about.

I dont wear or own flat brim hats.

There isnt one picture of me in this thread?????

I think....It has too many doors. The black valances make it look like theres nothing there. Atleast do as said above and level out the black on the car. The colored mirrors remind me of something a WV boy would do, like "LOOK AT ME!!!!" And the lime green laces would be cool on different shoes...

This is the point, the rockers have plenty of rust and black paint hides this very well.

Yepp, very VW style, granted I am a VW hater they have embraced the flare of loud colors. So anything I do like that is very VW.

Look at this, these are my shoes. Why don't they look good on these shoes. I mean this is 100% how they came from DC.

I want a Roundel, I havent gotten to it. Next time Im at the dealer I'll buy some OEM ones. I don't like it w/o the roundels however, there will not be any china Roundels like some people have suggested.

[JeST]

You say you're not a hipster but you really are.
You call your car a pos but then say it's "glorious"
You say you hate vw's trends/styles but your car looks like it was modeled after one.
c/f emblems are tacky but green sideview mirrors is ... not?!?

confused much? Not hating just pointing out the obvious :)
