    K&N cold air intake
    Ebesbacker exaust
    remote lock/unlock (if you consider that a mod)
    system:
    alpine 9811 head unit
    alpine 10" type R subwoofer with alpine enclosure.
    alpine Type R 5 1/4" components (front and back)
    alpine amps, Mrp-350 for the sub, and a Mrp-240 for the components.
    all powered by pheniox gold wiring. (i think thats how its spelled :? )

    I think the windshield sticker needs to go.

        looks good but I'm not feeling the blue wipers.

          Could be a good start. Ditch the windshield banner and get rid of all that damn blue under your hood.

                Hmmmm, I have the same components in my car, and I bought the same sub and amp for the E46. Alpine stuff kicks ass. Not sure if it kicks enough for the banner though. :shock:

                    ya i forgot to mention how much i hate that sticker. i bought it when i first got my system about a year ago. i hate it now. i have a lot of chips in the windsheild so when i get a new wind shield then there will be no more sticker.
                    i kinda like the blue under the hood, its starting to fade though. i almost tore it all off when i rebuilt the engine but decided to keep it.
                    i like the blue on the wipers. you cant really tell from the pic but it matches the //M strips on the front grill. (and no im not a poser, i really like the /?/M colors).
                    i also have 10mm wheel spacers but i dont have the lugnuts to install them yet, and maybe this summer i will get some H&R springs with bilistein sports. and right now i am currently making a strut brace (the angles are a bithc to get right).
                    anyways....thanks for the comments. :P

                      i dont consider a 10" inch subwoofer "tons of ice" but whatever you want to call it. actually i never planned on buying a sub but there was absolutly no bass when i installed the components, so i went out and bought some bass. 10" is a perfect size for the E30.

                        I dont think its a matter of liking the M colors but actually having an M car or at least an M engine. I'm pretty sure we all like the M colors but you dont really see it on anybodys non M car.

                          front looks goofy so fix that front end of the car and do some kind of shadowlining on the side.

                          Other then that good looking car.

                            That is such a perfect project car.. If I lived in an emissions tolerant state in the US I'd do fun things to that car. That engine can take so much punishment. I'd say move the battery to the trunk, get a container for the washer fluid which sits where you have your battery now - and then turbo the damn thing. Ok, so there's a lot more to it but it would be.. cool.
                            Here's a 300+ hp version of a 2.0 liter version of your engine:

                            Ok, so he's got an M5 diff and the rear end of a 528 on his BMW 1602. It can take the power and put it in the ground.

                              What color are the pinstripes on your car? They appear to be light blue and light green.
