          ya i think the shadow line woulda looked 100% better if u kept the windows red.... the black just dosnt flow well with your car.

          maybe after you lower it, and do a couple other things it will look better with the mirrors ( smoked turns, tails, ect?)

            225's??? Any fender or wheel well modifications planned once you get it lowered? Why not fit 215's? Does anyone know what is the widest tire you can run on a lowered car without harm? Your car looks sick by the way. What are your plans for suspension?

              I have 225's on my car on the same wheels lowered on an H&R Cup kit with no rubbing. It's very close though.

                if your tires don't rub, they aren't wide enough. ;)

                ronals are nice.. too bad they don't make them in an ix fitment.

                  without the arches rolled, i have driven my car really fast in the canyons so far, and have had NO rub whatsoever. plus I think that after the arches are rolled. and with the lowering of 1.25 inches all around, the stiffness wont let it, and with the arches rolled, should help a tid bit more. plus, im not jumping my car.....atleast all four wheels at the same time....YET, lol.

                  I think that the black mirrors and trim looks good. I can understand what you guys say about it flowing weird, but those pics arent that good. And to me, in person, I think the car looks 100x better, justlooks a lot cleaner. chrome trim gone, and mirrors diff.

                  And I read that mirrors for BMW used to be black for an E30, then later on they made them body color. But I really like my car, and dont plan on changine the mirror color anytime soon. I didnt keep the mirror color, 1) cuz Ive seen the black before, and it looked sweet, and 2) they didnt have red paint(im lazy ass hoe dang).
