The New Ride

[deutschman]

looks clean.

do not put a wing on it. pull the IS lip off and leave it. needs a 5 lug and some sort of mesh/weave wheel. might be ok after that. if you HAVE to put a wing on it, you need the window cap and proper m3 trunk lid.

[BigSam]

Meh, I all ready have the wing, just got painted today. I have 17'' Alpinia wheels that I am going to put on it, once I get some tires. The proper m3 trunk lid is out the question, for one because I don't want to build an m3, I just like the look of the wide body, and also because it costs way too much money to do it right, by getting the roof section, the rear window glass, the lid, the spoiler, the hinges, the tail lights, and the rear clip. I looked into it, more work than I want to do.

[BigSam]

Well, I snapped a few more today. Excuse the conditions outside, it is starting the rain, and it was the only oppourtunity that I had today.































Let me know what you think.

I'm mixed about this.

+1,

but it looks like it's working for you., so enjoy your jewel.

I'm mixed about this.

same here. the front looks good. but the rear just doesnt really flow, for my tastes. over all, i like it. widebody and all :)

its interesting how they did the rear widebody part..

[BigSam]

Pork radio and all. I am putting my new racing dynamics spoiler on it tomorrow. I think that will help the rear end.

[boomer]

Very interesting project.Not crazy about the big rear bumper,but a set of 17'' wheels would probably balance everything out.Overall,I like it.

[Unearth078]

paint it and relocate the antenna and shadow line it.

[Simon S]

shit.

not bad. I'd rock that. Subtle improvements here and there would go a long way. (wheels, appropriate rear spoiler, shawdow line, a little elbow grease on the paint and interior.. )

fuck it. If anyone gave you shit- you got it that way so fuck 'em.

[Ral]

yeah, the rear fenders are very muscular looking, so you need something to aesthetically
toughen up the rest of the rear. Also, lowering it an bigger wheels will go a long way but IIRC you said those were in the works.

[BigSam]

oof, I forgot the mention the antenna. The PO had the thing wired for a car phone, and that was the antenna. It is coming off tomorrow, and I am going to put a small sirius antenna over it, because it is a hole in the lid. Oh, and the paint is actually really good for the most part. That is dew all over the car, as it is about 7 am.

[T Verdier]

its weird seeing those tail lights with m3 flairs. could you buy the m3 back windshield and trunk and just slap it on or is there fab work that would need to be done

[BigSam]

I assume that there is a lot of fab work. You would have to essentially mold the entire rear clip on there. Not really something that I am interested in doing, more headache than it is worth IMO.
