Hahaha you bastard. I got tracking from ParkerBink on the lips and splitter, so I'll be getting that soon! Do you think I should paint the lip to match the body, or leave it black to match the black on the lower side of the car?

leave it black. its going to get peppered so you're wasting paint if you do that

FTFY :up:

I finally got the other grill installed! The top tab was broken (where it clips to the front of the body), so it kind of flopped a little.

Here's how far out it can go just by flopping by itself.

It looks so fresh now! All I need is more shadow line beans for the front.

Hah! The airfilter is an easy one to forget about ;)

Thankfully they're cheap! Unless you go big with a fancy K&N one. Anyone here use those?

New air filter also today. Zwill inspired/reminded me to change my air filter in his thread when he talks about getting his oil examined, so thanks Zach!

Hey man I love your ride it looks really good and congrats on the wedding. I was wondering I have the same rims but they don't seem to fit just right on my car and I would imagine they are the same on yours. Do you know what wheel spacers and center rings are on it? thanks Mike

Thanks on the congrats, I appreciate it!

The wheels on mine are BBS RX 214 wheels which are 16x7s, and have a 35mm offset. I don't believe there's any spacers on them. At least, when I got my BFGoodriches installed, no wheel spacers fell out of the wheels. I've been told a 10mm spacer would be good, but it has no issues without them and handles how you imagine an E30 handles.

If you look on the lip of the rim, between the spokes, you should see the stampings if you have the same wheels as me. Mine say BBS in one space, RX 214 in another, and ET35 in another space. What width are your wheels, and do you know the offset? Hope this helps!

Congrats on the marriage, so cool that the E30 is a big part. That just means you will have to take good care of it so it can be around for a while.I think parkerbink is selling a bunch of goodies that you can use, from his old vert.

Thanks man! I was just glad it didn't rain on the wedding and we were able to depart with the top down haha

Yeah, I plan on keeping this car until I die. Maybe even longer. I'm not opposed to getting more E30s or an E24 or doing some crazy engine swap some day, but this car will never leave my collection willingly. I'll check out what he's selling and see if there's anything I can nab. Thanks for the heads up!
