Looks great, just make sure to always take your time and don't pull out too fast and scrape ;)

Wow, that is perfect, I love it exactly how it is. Got any pictures of the interior?

I love the car. Just not that car with those wheels. Its too nice to skimp on the wheels. Very nice all in all though. :)

[JeffOlson]

It's beautiful! Great Car!

Aside from the boot lit spoiler, it's beautiful.

OH GOD, that looks sooo good!

[Lazr111]

sweet, don't like the license plate location though... looks kinda tacky.

Why not strap it to the passenger sun visor. Just flip it down when you need to...

looks pretty clean except i would have made the painter reimburse me for new bumper. over spray on new bumpers hurts my heart. i just wished more painters knew how to use tape.

Very nice Reid! Out of the abundance of white Bellingham E30's, I'd say yours is the cleanest/nicest looking for sure.

How are you liking that setup? Did you end up replacing the front wheel bearings?

16" basketweaves on an m-tech 1? Seems like a pretty desirable wheel/car combo to me, especially since those cars came stock with euroweaves. Believe me, if I could find some 17" original BBS RS's, I'd be in heaven. For me it's not worth the energy it would take to locate them and the price on top of that. I figured the Konigs would be a decent-looking, affordable alternative, and for that they're great. I could always put fake BBS centercap emblems on them, but pretending is not my intention at all. If you have other wheel recommendations for an alpine white II m-tech 1, by all means, share them.

It took a while for the zender spoiler to grow on me. I will invariably take it off at some point...In the mean time I'll wait for a cheap m-tech 1 spoiler to pop up on the forums or ebay, and then color match the whole thing including the black rubber. Speaking of which, any photoshop guys able to color match the black rubber on James' spoiler...I'd like to see what it looks like.

Genius...I'll rig something up. That makes much more sense

You're telling me...those little rubber moldings were pretty pricey altogether. Actually I'm going to need to back-to-black them at some point anyway, because the outer layers peel off easily. Not sure how, or why, but they do.

Very nice Reid! Out of the abundance of white Bellingham E30's, I'd say yours is the cleanest/nicest looking for sure.

Thanks man...It's been a long project, so I'm glad it stands out.

Didn't end up replacing the bearings yet...Will do soon though. Probably when we install the headers since we'll be under the car anyway. I think I've got next Monday reserved at Rands shop, so I should be good to go after that. The setup is awesome. Couldn't be happier. Very precise and stable in the corners, without sacrificing streetability. Super smooth on the freeway as well. Honestly I don't notice hardly any decline in ride quality, but a huge improvement in handling. c3motorsport coilovers with Koni top-adjustables and 450/750 eibachs seriously rock! When's the next Everett auto-x? I can't wait! By the way...my Konis are set to the factory setting right now. I'd like to get together with you to discuss recommended adjustments based on your experience with them at the track and on the street.
