    Some Quicky Pics!

    Well here is the update! I've had these wheels for a while now...I got them powder-coated last summer...I really like the "old school" look they give off. They are the old 15x7 Ronal R15's with a +15 offset. I also wanted to try something different with the lip (you can see)..The bottom of the valence was so beat up so I just decided to paint that part black so if it gets scraped again, all I have to do is just mask, sand, and paint with Trim Black paint! Sorry for the quality of the photos! I'll take better ones next time!

    I love the wheels. But not feeling the black paint on the front air dam. Personaly i would of got a splitter to put on there to save the paint.

      Jason said it too, a splitter would be nice, and they're pretty cheap.

      Looks great, I love those wheels! What size tire is that though? They look a little undersized.

                  Thanks guys! The exhaust does look low but it really isn't! The exhaust system was fabricated from scratch by my dad who owns European Car Company...We build and restore vintage european racecars and cars (BMW, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, etc.) But yea the exhaust is made out of 2.5" all high stainless steel.The bends were ordered also. We just did a lot of fabrication and tig welding and it turned out beautiful! and sounds beautiful! He's starting to build a lot of these exhausts for the E30's...I'll send more pics! Thanks for comments guys!

                    What muffler did you use on building the exhaust? I have to put an exhaust together and it looks like what I am looking for.

                        It's called a Volt muffler...You can find them at www.supremeperformance.com ...They're actually really affordable and all stainless steel! The nice thing about them is that they don't have a rasppy tone to them at all like those retarded ricers! It actually sounds really really european!

                            Car looks good....I'm debating on doing the same thing with the bumpers on my car.

                              Yea the bumpers are tucked and powder-coated satin black...I really like the way they turned out...The diving board look just doesn't do it for me at all!!
