Everytime I see your car on r3v, and the one time I saw you on the 57 fwy NB, I kick myself for ditching my kit just like it. I guess with old age and maturity the need for solid crash protection via oe bumpers is too much a draw for I.
i've always loved ur car...but ya the bumper does need some adjustment. other than that i think black kidneys, smoked ellips and some french fogs would finish it nicely. o ya di u put a plate filler in the back yet?

I bought the car for the drivetrain and suspension; I could have done without the body kit and tinted windows, but they were on the car, so what to do? The bumpers are light, reducing mass aft of the axles, which is good, but useless in the event of a collision. I drive slow and am alert, so I’m not too scared about rear-ending someone, but I do get nervous when I see some guy closing in fast at a stop sign or red light. You never know if these multi-tasking twits are paying attention to the road.
I don't know why BMP designed the gaps into the sides/trailing edges of the front bumper... maybe to clear an M3's box flairs?

Wow, thanks man! I haven't gotten the filler plate yet - I've been spending money on maintenance stuff. The blacked out kidneys have been on my mind for a while... don't know about the French fogs or highs...

Thanks! I don't know what brand - they were on the car when I bought it. You prolly know that they are E36 M3 style...

I had not thought of that. What suspension/drivetrain? Swaped?
