        They are the real OEM ones with the air guides. Honestly, I wish I had done the VAC ones after doing these and run hoses.

        Thank you all for the nice comments on the car. I am so pleased with how this thing looks. I need to get it aligned and sort out a few rubbing issues and then my time is going to be spent on the race car I just bought. I'm going to take the 2.5L S14 with EVO3 block, oil squirters, crank, etc and CF intake with 48mm TB's out of the race car and put it in this car. The race car is getting an S54. I hope to have the race car on the track in September.

                I feel that an AKG DTM style shifter would fit this perfectly;)

                  Well done. I remember you from Bimmerforums circa 2002-2003ish with your E36 M3. I cant remember exactly but I think you owned that Alpine 4 door that was originally owned by that guy out of Columbus?

                    You are correct! I bought the E36 M3/4 from BMLracer in May of 2003. Brian and I talk every week it seems and are still good friends. I actually sold that E36 to my brother so that I could buy this car when it came up for sale. The idea was that when my brother got tired of the car I would buy it back from him. If that car ever leaves my family it will be to go back into Brian's garage :) Good memory, bro!!
