    .:Pre Roadtrip Fresh:.

    I lurk here more than bimmerforums still so I thought I'd share w/ you guys too.

    I'm driving ~300 mi from Norfolk to Tech in Blacksburg/bimmerworld tomorrow, and I'm prob gonna snag the lip (its cheap so f**k it) on the way up. Thought I'd get a few before its gone w/ my point and shoot.

    Autofocus sucks ass and only 4 came out where the car wasn't a complete black blob, so here ya go.

    *Oh and thats a mk3 gti lip btw - $40 on fleabay











    SO the car made it up and back and then some this weekend (792 miles total), and now I am lipless (to most everyones satisfaction), and glad to be outta the corbeaus and into the desk chair for a bit.

    me filling up for the trip


    gas is f**king expensive


    traffic leaving norfolk


    mountains (getting close)


    The lip after a run in w/ very tall railroad tracks and some very spirited driving. The back roads up there kick serious ass :up:


    removing the lip the next day/ my buddy joe trying to diagnose a rattle his car developed


    ass shot


    getting the bitches wet. (that guy in the van behind joe was a complete twat, and he ruined the pic)


    the neighbors car


    Sorry the pics suck, and not as many good action pics of the "fun" this trip, but I was too busy driving ;)

            That front lip looks horrid. Put it back on the Jetta.

              That lip doesn't go with the car at all, but to each his own. Looks way out of place.

                I'd have to agree with everybody else here about that lip. It doesn't fit the car, in style and pure fitment...it just doesn't work. That's probably something I'd agree with Jordan with, because if he wasn't banned I'm pretty sure he'd tear you up for trying to fit that on there. The curve is close, but isn't even right itself.

                Oh well. Otherwise, the car looks nice.

                  wanna come hang out on R3V?

                  even if the lip looks no so great props for not thinking your car was "uber" nice and modding it.
                  good choice on rims.
                  again.
                  Ya wanna hang out?

                    can i come hang out in r3v?:D

                    it's hard to think of mine as being much nicer than an e30, especially since it's cost me the same as an e30 in every aspect so far.

                    and w/ the lip, saw it done once, had easy access to one, so i thought i'd try it out. hopefully (after motor mods/swap) it'll be m3 up front anyway.

                            Thats alot of rake, and lose the lip. But looks clean otherwise.
                            Hemingway said it best. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”
