    I actually have an entire roll of the OE style material and am going to recover the fronts and match the back at some point.

    The paint is a ton better, but the clear is peeling on the roof, so so it's not all clean. White def let's you get away with it.

    There's a pretty strong consensus agains the wheels. I still like them. If you think they look bad, you should see how heavy they are! For sure the RGR's were better, but I would invest in correcting the suspension before going back to 17's. When I replace them, I'd like to do it with another set of 15's that aren't anchors.

    I literally have 5 sets of 17" 5 lug wheels in my garage for the rest of the fleet. Too bad the E30 is still 4 lug.

    looks like the paint cleaned up nice, but then again white is like cheating... also those Recaro are a perfect candidate for reupholster later down the road.


    those wheels tho, they look like shit, soo many better options for the e30. throwing stars were meant to be 17". should have kept the RGR and put some 215/45/17 on them to get more cushion...

    dont need to strip powercoat. Its a good primer so all you would need is to scuff it up & paint

    The yellow on the fogs is just laminx. One is cracked and it actually has prevented the glass from braking out of the housing.

    Those E21 recaros are the most comfortable seats I've ever had. Super supportive for when you need it, but comfortable enough to ride in all day. I drove 18 hours straight for two days in a row last summer.

    I actually like the t-star 4 bolt reps, but the black kills it for me.

    Thanks guys.

    I traded the RGR's to Guten Parts, they might be for sale again. I agree that the RGR's look better, but the ride is so much better on 15's.

    The throwing star reps would look great if they were silver. They were powder coated white when I got them. I didn't want to go through the expense of stripping and polishing. In the past I have not been impressed with silver powdercoating. I had just got a set of gloss black Arc-8's for my track car and liked the gloss black a lot in person. It's not for everyone, but I dig it. The D-Force caps came with the wheels and actually look much better than I thought they would. Once I tint it, it'll be fully storm troopered.



    The cup holder is a cheap Walmart one with the fin that slides between the seat. I hacked off the fin and screwed it to my console (which was already damaged). Then I inserted two ABS pipe couplers in the cup holes to extend the cup holders, they just fit - no glue.

    Rims are lost being black. In a silver it would accent the car more. My opinion. For high mileage the car looks good.

    Did not notice they were 15" that's why they are slightly off on proportions...thought they were 16's.

    The Apex's look good in black in my opinion but I would still run mine in a silver. For track wheels black is the way to go.
