    My Final Take on the Early to Late Conversion..

    I stayed late a few days ago at work and painted my lip, skirts and rear apron and just finally got them mounted up tonight. I have done all the body and paint work on the car. IMHO it's not perfect but looks VERY nice to complement the power under the hood. :)

    The Final list of exterior modification is:

    Complete Repaint
    89+ Front Bumper
    88+ Front Valance
    91 318is fog blanks
    88+ brake ducts
    88+ is lip
    Ryan G lip splitter
    MHW Smoked Turns
    Ebay Blacked out Sidemarkers with colored bulbs
    Hella H4 headlights with lamin-x Smoke film
    Custom Made Light delete panels
    "is" skirts
    Painted door handles
    Shadowlined Window trim
    89+ rear bumper shortened to fit early arches
    Eurostylez Rear M-tech 2 Replica Apron
    Startec Tail lights
    Euro Plate filler
    M-tech 1 rear spoiler

    Currently Rolling on my 15x7.5 Ronal LS's (Normally runs the 16x8 Rotas)

      Looks great, nice job. Are you going to do anything with the exhaust tips now?

          I would like to get some kind of twin polished SS tips sometime down the road. The current setup is only temporary.

                    Just do something with those headlights.

                    Very clean conversion, the rear apron really is a nice alternative to lots of chopping/welding/etc.

                        my plan is Hella Colorlines with euro grills. I need to get a new oil cooler and drop my IC down a few inches for them to fit. So this is also kinda a cheap alternative till that happens. I am on a College Student budget, so I am trying to be thrifty.
