    before and after

    Found a pic of my car when i bought it and thought i would share with you guys the various stages my car has been in...

    As Purchase:


    First mods(lowering, painted weeves):


    Turbo:



    De-Turbo:


    Now/present(keskin wheels, painted lip, brake ducts signals{blaked out}):


    Before & After:



    Plans/looking for (help me): Euro Grills, Euro Filler, Front shocks aftermarket, smoked or all red tails, & shadowline....

    I just purchased some ellipsed headlights to freshin up the front end a little....

    Tell me what you think!:p

    Nice transformation, I think a red iS lip and shadowline would look
    a lot cleaner.

      sweetness. how about a nice clay bar and wax? that would really bring out your paint, you'd be surprised at how well it works. love the car man. keep up the good work.

                My brother hit a curb and it ripped off and i decided to paint it black...if you look at the first pic i posted off my car when it was lowered it was originaly red!

                  :up:

                  looks great, i think colour matched lip is the way to go, right now my red e30 has a black lip as well. I'm going to be matching mine in the near future.

                  I LOVE the new rims!

                            Car looks great. It is nice to see how an ordinary e30 get transformed step by step into a kick ass custom ride Keep up the good work:up:
