Why is there a black dot next to the driver's side foglight in the first pic?

Clean-ass car man, don't wrap it around a tree :)

Man that's the ambient temp sensor! Adds about 12.5 bhp! Pshhhhhhhh what you know bout that????
Actually that is the temp sensor. :D

Dude clean as hell IS!

[egk2]

I wouldn't change a thing, nice work.

Just noticed that the sidewalls of the BFG are thick as normal even on a 7.5" rim with a 205. The G force remind me of the old comp ta R1's from about 7 years ago.

[blunttech]

man, that thing is showroom new. leave it just as it is. nice work

[aschmidt]

holy shit!

My exact words. Damn, that is one clean e30.

[h0lmes]

I have the same exact car but mine looks about 10 years older. I am jealous.

[Jand3rson]

Absolutely breathtaking E30. I love it. I can't wait to get my front airdam re-aligned, so it sits up tight against the bumpers like yours. I'm seriously impressed.

What tires are you running on the Ronals? I see they're BFG's, but what model? Are the wheels 7.5 width? I ask because I'm getting 205/50's for my new wheels (16 x 7.5), and I want to see how the width of the tire will look on the wheels. Do you have any shots of the wheels/tires straight on?

Stunning car !!! I wouldnt change a thing.

They look like G-Force sports, Josh.

my brother took my BFG g-f sports in 205/50 for his 15x7.5 LS's. i wouldnt go with any other size for that particular wheel.

My 215/45/17 G-force sports rub in the front on an et20 wheel.
