some updates

[brodee]

I stripped all the tint off the windows, blacked out the kidneys, added the plastic piece in the lower part of the valance, and a few other little things. I know it's dirty and it needs to get into the paint shop, but it's slowly getting there.







I'll try to get some better lighted pics when I can get out of work.

Wow...looking really good. I think throwing stars are some of the sexiest wheels alive. If I ever to a 5 lug conversion, i will invest in a staggered set of 17" throwing stars.

nice work

Good call on the tint... it was way too dark.

Thanks, I have WAY too much money in those wheels since I paid a lot and then refinished them, but hey, I like 'em!

The tint was bugging me. I thought about going back with 35% all the way around but the car won't ever sit out so I think I'll just leave it clean.

What did you use to get the tint off of the back window without ruining the defroster lines?

Car looks great!

I just cut one of the corners above the defroster line and then peeled off the tint one piece. All 5 windows came off in one piece. My sedan was a pain, the back window had to be done in pieces.

looks good...it reminds me of someone's car...

Actually it's a different color than his and no where near as nice. Just looks the same since we are the only ones with the t-stars.

t-stars are some of the sexiest wheels to ever hit planet earth. and by far one of the best choices on an e30

yes they are very sexy, but arn't they kinda heavy?

They 17x8 E34 T-stars are only 19lbs. The 17x9's I don't think are much more than that.

I believe the AKT 16x7.5 replicas are decently hefty, well over 20lbs.

Bling factor man, bling factor.

I would be willing to bet that 90% of the members on this forum couldn't shave half a second off their autocross times with lighter wheels so why is weight always brought up??

I like the looks of the wheels. That being said I will be getting some track wheels. Not to get lighter, but to have track tires mounted on.

As for the bling factor, if I wanted bling I would have chromed them

Thanks TJ! Hope to get that new valance on there soon.
