              Eyebrows look good when they match the grill. Nice looking car.

                        gotta love the ix.. one question though, why the heck did you replace the diving board? you could have probably gotten a set of plastic for both front and rear for the cost of new diving boards... I'll never understand that I guess.

                        any mods other than the eyebrows? I know only too well how much of a PITA the ix is to mod. ;)

                          He is one of the few who actually likes the diving boards. :roll:

                            Well when the car looks as clean as his, you can't blame him. Diving boards just accentuate the shittiness of E30s that aren't in mint condition.

                              I like 2 door 'ix' cars. I think they are awesome. Nice example of an off-road e30. Agreed, plastic bumpers on a 2 door ix is even more awesome, but functioanly also rules. I mean he can drive that thing right up to a cliff landing and jump right off of those diving boards :) (gotta give love to the alum bumpered e30s!!)
