    Nice!

    So, how do you like the coil-overs? Can you tell a big difference in handling and comfort?

          I don't see that working very well, heck I can't even consider adding the ///M pinstripe to mine.

              Nothing looks better on an e30 than euro bumpers and m tech 1 kit. I love the drop as well looks perfect. I just think that you need some contrast for all that white. Could be because Im not a big fan of alpine thought

                And the M-Tech I front/rear items can still be ordered new (from dealer or replica?) with all the needed hardware, is that right ? Including matching valance ?

                    Bumpers yes, everything else (except mounting hardware) no

                        That's funny that you mentioned that, as I was just thinking about that yesterday. It could look good...not sure though. It would be a real pain in the ass to get in those grooves and make everything even. If you feel like it, try photoshopping those in there in a pic where you can see the whole car. Also try to use the actual ///M colors, as those are a bit too fluorescent. The other thing that I'd be worried about is that the grooves are so deep you wouldn't be able to see the stripe standing close to the car. I think I'd rather do the pin stripe along the side of the car, like the m-tech II's, if at all.

                          Little difference in comfort, massive improvement in handling. I wouldn't have it anyway else for my DD. The adjustability factor is really nice too.

                              the "is" valence? negative...that sold really quick actually. I do have a complete set of diving board bumpers w/ trim, however, for those who dig them.
