what what what???? new valence?

[Jesse30]

retro fitted a 2002 turbo front valence on.

this is the first picture i've posted of the new car on the site.

so far mods are; m52 OBD-1 swap, zf tranny, sprung hub race disc, lightweight aluminum flywheel, bride brix, 16x7 fn01rc's, j-spec advans, stage 3 springs, bilstein sports, street track camber plates, euro bumpers and little odds and ends.

hopefully soon i can get the car out for a proper shoot. sorry for the cell phone shot.

Damn that's all crazyyy like. Paint that thing white and take a better shot.

[uofom3]

hmmm... dunno what to make of that.

[318isbmw]

yeah, not sure about that. Why not go w/ an alpina replica front instead...

[Farbin Kaiber]

Are you going to make it more "forever"?

that's what's throwing it off for me too.

the pop-rivets aren't doing it.

nice ninja edit farbin.

SSShhhhhhhh... My spellcheck was being stoopid.

Why not just go with a late model valance and an IS lip?



Dude, it's cool, unique and probably going to be sick when he's done with it.

i'll have better shots soon when i finish it, but it wont be getting painted. getting paint to stick and look nice on ABS in a hassle i just dont want to deal with. the car will just have a panda theme to it :)

cause anything fiberglass and replica will be ruined after a month. my car see's the track pretty often and i do that whole drifting fad. so the front end takes a beating. they told me at work that if i can break this air dam that they will pay me 25 bucks and give me a brand new one. thing is indestructable.

Are you going to make it more "forever"?

i'll make the install a little nicer, i just wanna make sure the thing isnt going to walk away from the car one day. i still have some massaging to do on the sides with a heat gun and to get a more uniform look to it im going to be giving the sides and top of it the home depot garden trim treatment


better pics of the whole car soon

[E30_fiend]

Moaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Looks pretty tits, and I'd leave it black, looks aggressive.

[Nicademus]

I'd take a sharpie or some black touchup paint to the rivets for a temporary fix.
