woah dude, you don't have doorhandles
those 'flectors stand out like a sore thumb in that photo, also I'd ditch that sunroof wind deflector, in my experience, all they do is make noise
nice my buddy has got a car very similar to that. How do you like the chip. Did you notice big gains?
I've seen those sides on a nother e30 in person and they look very strange. I bet if you clean up your rims real good and ditch the deflector you will have a pretty nice looking car. Nice find
i know nothing about the body kit.. although i really like the sides, wish i knew what company made them kuz i want another e30 and id like to put them on again. also the rear tail.. the front spoiler has a name on it and i think its pretty common kuz ive seen it on a few other bimmers.. the rear tail is a mystery as well. all i know about the rims is that they r two pice 15" they got some markings on them but ive been told they r the equivilant of a japanese and swedish DOT approval (one says VIA an the other looks like a JM smooshed together.) i got the rims with tires from the yard i work @ for 50 bux and i got the bilstein sports and lower springs there as well (whole set 4 springs struts and shocks for ~40 bux) im currently trying to fix the left rear 1/4 panel and put doors with handles on it (they were done real cruddy and i like handles) i got both doors just need ta put them on.. but its a 2 person job.. and im only one person...
yeah i guess it is funny that u did it yourself, i fail to see the humor... but if u say so :?
@ any rate i guess it is possible to do it myself.. as its possible to do alot of things by yourself.. but you see... when u have friends you dont NEED to do things yerself. and as with most things in life its always good to have company.

I have plenty of friends to help me, I just do all my own work. Hell.. when I am helping friends I don't "help" so much as I do everything, and they "help"
In all honesty tho, I did hang the doors myself. I hung and removed them about 6 times shoving different shims in until it was close enough. At which point I gave up because of the sheer amount of stress it puts on your arms.
It would have been cake if the moron painter didnt remove my shims, get them all out of order, and then lose a couple for me.

well ive never hung the doors before.. plz elaborate on shims.. i have some of th emetal bars from the junkyard (for doors i got there) and i think all t emetal bars r in the doors on my car already.. wich will i use? the ones on my car or the ones i took from the yard with the doors?
Looks very vintage looking. Overall In my opinion It looks ok :)
The dent in the rear quarter panel near the pillar is a complete eyesore :shock:
If there was no dent..I would have said it looks good instead of ok
