For a early modle vert your car gave me an unexpected smile. very clean car and a esp clean interior.
Got some new pics of my 'vert and updated my mod list.

That's a hot looking car. I have an '88 cabrio and have thought about a lot of the same mods you did. Kick ass!
My only suggestion is maybe the addiition of an IS spoiler to go with your air dam--I think that'd look good. Where'd you get your wheels?1988 325ic Automatic

Front plates are required in Ohio, but I just scored a plate filler off of this forum last week - it is on its way to me right now. Plate filler for diving boards seem to be very hard to find, so I'm looking forward to getting it. I'll use it in photo shoots, and may just risk driving without a front plate.Originally posted by sdcabrioI like it! Nice car and nice mods. What's the deal in Ohio, could you lose the front plate? I think your car would look better with a front plate filler.Aaron

Thanks! An "is" spoiler is in the plan, along with a lower valance under the rear bumper. I got the wheels from here:Originally posted by 325iCabrioThat's a hot looking car. I have an '88 cabrio and have thought about a lot of the same mods you did. Kick ass!

Looks great. Get sideskirts when you get a rear valance so it all flows around the car.Comment

I already have it, something I bought off eBay for cheap. It is fiberglass and resembles the old Zender 3 part valance - I think it was made by Kamani or something spelled like that...Originally posted by 325iCabrioWhat kind of rear valance are you getting?
It was damaged on the ends and will need some TLC to get it fixed up - but a test fit shows it has the look I want. Not too deep like the Racing Dynamics valance. Should look okay without side skirts as the 'verts have deeper sides anyway.Aaron

The red cabby with Kopis and the IS rear spoiler, right? Very nice car yourself!Originally posted by Mike 91 318icCopy cat! your mod list is almost the same as mine. I guess we both have good taste, nice car Aaron.
...you know you've spent way too much time on the forums when you can recall in a minute what car a total stranger in a different country drives based solely off of his user id! ;) :) :DAaron

Very nice work you've done....did you prime the window trim before spraying the SEM trim paint? I primed a b pillar than paintd and the trim paint came out looking clowdy and gray. I know the SEM is recommended to be used without primer. Is this what you did? Thanks

I removed the trim, sanded it lightly - then primed with SEM self-etch primer. I then used SEM Black Trim Paint with about 10-15 very light coats. Came out fine - black with no gray or cloudy look. Been on for a few months with no problems. I'm very happy with it.Originally posted by formula driverVery nice work you've done....did you prime the window trim before spraying the SEM trim paint?
