    New toys (pics)+ wanted opinion....

    So at the New England meet today, I walked into gregs room and it was like I was in a candy store. So I ended up leavin with an mtechII spoiler and smoked hella euro smilie's. I was thinking that the top of the mtech part is going to be painted sterling (body color) but im leaving the lip black, or I could leave the whole thing black, or paint the whole thing silver, but I think im gonna go with the black lip, sterling top piece. I also wanted to know people's opinion on this....

    should I shave the badges? here's 4 options...
    1)leave as is
    2)shave completely
    3)shave just e30 badge
    4)leave only e30 badge, but move to the right side

    what do you think?

    here's the pics... (sorry for the HUGE size)









    tell me what you think!

    Car looks good, I think you should keep the e30 badge, but like you said move it to the right.

      Damn, now I want an e30 badge. I'd say keep both of them.

        The wing looks really out of place, its too big for a car that has a stock body besides that wing... of course I think you should have gotten wheels before the headlights and wing, but to each his own.

        I think you should shave completely, the rear end looks rediculous, its way too busy back there.

          i agree on the wheels first, but it was sorta a one time opportunity to grab the spoiler, and I didnt want to pass it up. And I got a REALLY good deal on the lights and spoiler. I also agree about the busy back end, that's why I brought up shaving, completely was my first idea, but I wanted to see other opinions.

            shave the rear completely or just leave the 325i. get rid of the "e30" regardless.

                      yea it is :twisted: :twisted:

                      but what's funny is that both fenders are 23" off the ground, i know late fender arches kinda sucks, but it leaves lots of possibilities for rake :twisted:

                            You should aim those headlights, looks like you are illuminating the tree tops.
