    sorry my car isnt this perfect shining e30. my car is a drivers car. no looks and all go, and she goes.
    yes my headlamps are ebay crosshairs
    the car has been hit twice in the passenger side front. once by the PO and once by me. after getting outrageous estimates, i went ahead and pieced it back together myself. the fenders are just the cheap $50 replacements, and it has euro grills. the lip is what came on the sheet metal valence i got from euro depot. everything is off bc the rad core support got pushed back. not drasticly enough to warrant pulling out but enough to knock everything out of alignment. but if it did not affect drive-ability, then i didnt care. the car was three colors before (red, flat black, and diamondshwarz) so i just made it all one color. i dont get the hate towards my car, when i went to the bav auto show and shine, everyone that came by thought it looked awesome. maybe they felt bad and wanted to cheer me up

        it's a bone-stock e30. It goes slower than an '08 4-cyl Camry.

                          i guess some people dont understand that the normal person isnt going to respray and or do major top notch body work to a $500 4 door eta.

                          im about to buy a mint e30 and spray bomb it flat black just to piss you lovers of homo cum off.

                            So yeah, you know that your front plate and the gay-ass sticker on your windshield are completely illegal, right? I don't even understand why someone would risk the ticket for that shit, it looks like ass.

                            You're kidding, right? I think the fastest part that car's ever had was any sense of style it had about it when it LEFT the instant you took delivery...

                              Why waste the money and time? If your car looks bad, wash it and call it a day. Nothing says "my car is a shitbox but I really just want people to think I'm going against convention, just like everyone else exactly like me" like a flat black car. And personally it tells me that the owner really does care about their car's image but wants us all to think otherwise. Every hour put into spray painting a car could easily be put into something maintenance-oriented that will make an actual IMPROVEMENT in the vehicle! Imagine that, an improvement...

                              Once, and only once I have seen a satin black BMW that I liked and it was a professionally painted z4. In high-quality SATIN. Not flat Krylon.

                                i guess its personal opinion, id rather have a all flat black $550 eta, than a body damaged, faded bronzit $500 eta

                                I dont care what people think, if it drives, has all the matenence performed and i dont owe any money on it. Than it is all good in my book.
