    There is a lot of time and money into it beneath all the "cheap fiberglass". The car had $21k of service history done at a dealer since new, when I bought it in 2000. It was mint. I swapped the tan interior for black (carpet, door panels, black leather sport seats, etc...). It was auto, so I did a five speed swap, with about $1500 worth of new parts from BMW. Swapped in a low mileage 3.25LSD. Put on Bilstein sports, H&R sports, control arms, tie rods, wheel bearings, blah blah blah. Did every seal on the engine minus head gasket. The list goes on. It's not as junky as it looks with multi color panels and un-properly mounted fiberglass parts ;) The bumper doesn't line up because I was rear ended twice since the t-bone accident. The skirts mount that way because I got ripped off - I was told they were AutoVogue AV3's, they weren't, and they arrived wavy and shit. That's about the only way to mount them so they look "decent".

      Looks great, except for tha painted trip, and the manilla folders you obviously took as a color pallette.

      You asked for the hate. Oh, and the DSP car is running waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles-sized tires and isn't lifting two wheels.

        The paint on the doors, hood, roof, and trunk is factory paint, and yes, BMW did use manila folders for their choice.

        The red car isn't running wider tires because I didn't receive my donation from you yet. It does lift wheels, just not when my friends take pics. And that's actually not a good thing ;)

        Your hate is teh sux!

                I got a whopping 195 width. I must need to get a mad jdm tyte body kit to fit these beasts, yo!

                Really, props for saving the eta from being parted out, and for having the balls to run DSP in a not-quite-prepped e30, then winning.

                  I like everything but the skirts and I love ETAs.

                  You all heard me.
