Beautiful wheels, I agree that they don't fit the car but they are beautiful now.

Looks clean. What exhaust is that?

It is a Fox exhaust with the tip cut and rewelded on at an angle to match the bumper opening.

What tires are you running (and what size)? Those look beefy... in a good way.

They are an older generation Dunlop summer tire in 225/45/16 size. I like the beefier look vs. stretched

I am also iffy on the wheels on this particular car, but if you like 'em, who gives a fuck.

Hi MC,

Car looks sweet,

I too have a set rims that looks like yours, BBS RF's aka Design 5000, they're 4x114mm :(



Can you please take a few pics of rear corner trims?
I need to trim my non-mtech pieces, sort of same as you need to do here, just below bumper ...

[Hey-U]

Saw you heading west on Powel this afternoon. Looking fine!

[MC Hammered]

Thanks!

I took the corner a bit too quick to reach out and give you an acknowledgment :pimp:

Looks good but I'm on the fence about the wheels on there. They did turn out nice though. Maybe if they were an inch bigger with some wider lips.

As you can see it does fit a tiny bit better.

I got sick and tired for the intermittent e30 window switches so I hit up the scrapyard and picked up some e36 window switches.

How it looks now



So I removed the center console to start the process of fitting in the e36 bezels.

This is when I try to figure out which is worse... the O or the C of OCD.

To give you an idea the following took 3 hours to do.

Made some templates



Driver side done





Found out the passenger side is harder to do since the bridges have small metal tabs underneath them to provide support. So if you press too hard or apply too kmuch pressure something is going to break.





Passenger side done



*sigh*

Now I wish I did the passenger side first so I could have matched the gaps.

[MC Hammered]

So I proceeded to cut the old e30 switch harnesses off and prepared to solder on the e36 ones.



The solder attempt failed as my soldering iron couldn't get hot enough to get good penetration. So I ended up using butt connectors to connect the e36 bases to the old wiring.





Tested all the switches and one of them doesn't light up :(

I'll solder in a new bulb or swap out a light switch another time. So I put everything back together I'm pretty happy with the result

[Hey-U]

Oh My! I Like.

Sexy, I love hard tops. My Brother has a black one, it completes the car 100%

I love this car but I just can't get pass those rims, they just don't fit this beautiful machine
