      I strongly disagree. But hey, its a fucking opinion. :D


      Anyways, I LOVE the way the car turned out. It looks very clean. Nicely modded.

        yeah - love what you've done with the place.

        I can go either way on painted rockers. Non-painted (black) rockers do provide OEM look and down-play the visible body seam. Painted rockers show off that seam, and make me cringe a little- other wise, I'm all for "lowering the body lines". Cars that have black valence/rockers should rock black colored front lips.. but when I see that, I can't help but think that the front lip would look much better painted. When I see cars with black valence/rockers and painted front lip, then I feel the car looks good, but something is off balance and it looks a bit "plow-ish".

        e30s need skirts. (period)
        I'd happily rock ford skirts in lieu of not having ANYthing to both lower the body and hide that seam detail. Something about that area doesn't look finished- unless it has skirts.

        - color match the valence, and you're set.

            Damn Sam, when I saw your car on Azusa the other day I had to do a double take, then I saw you in the drivers seat. The IS lip looks dope. Your car does look aggressive when its rolling. Love what you did to you it and where your going. Looks Super Fresh & So Clean. Keep up the good work :up:.
