Yeah but he'd have to itch the airdam. It'd look sexy nonetheless though.

Looks a whole lot better than running the car into a wall to tuck the bumpers in. No one can rationalize bumper tucking to me.

Honestly, I've been thinking about it and I'm really jealous of your car.

If it were mine I'd convert it to a base euro model with a clock, cluster, bumpers, plate filler, ect.

Obviously a drop and some OG wheels like euroweaves or RZs.

It's funny - I used to want a plastic bumpered car so bad. Now I have one and I want an early model.

Good point, kind of the same look I'm going for with mine. OP, if you choose to do this, remove the trunk lip, it would really add to the euro baseness.

Agreed on the plastic bumper thing. Once I heard of euro bumpers, I opted for the early models. This was also helped by that fact that nearly everyone has a late model.

RS + M30 + retention of diving boards = much win

Looks like it has the "is" front air dam as well.

it has the 'es' front air dam ;)

OP- your car looks beautiful. looked just like mine when i first got it..except..in way better condition!

I really appreciate all the positive feedback! I like the euro style idea. Right now I'm waiting for my rear spoiler to dry with a fresh coat of flat black - pictures to come.

I'm not even going to let you guys know how much I paid for it...I don't think the guy knew what he had.

I like this car very much.

I would:
GC coilovers
ST sways
5 lug swap
turbines
Euro bumpers
M30


I would paint it down the road sometime.

^ Eh, I prefer the bland, simple base model euro look on that car.

Leave it for a late model to pull of the M-System I's.

I hear you.

Staggered 17" Alpinas it is then.

Car looks like a solid starting point, whatever you do enjoy building it!!

Today I sanded, primed, sanded, and painted my deck spoiler.

after(that's just condensation on the truck not shitty paint):

Now when my fattie tax refund comes in the tasteful upgrading will begin. Probably brakes first, the suspension and wheels, and then maybe a m50 stroker? I think I'm going to lipo the bumpers and spray them along with the trim. Flat black of course because I ain't not chromosexual. That's all I got. Glad to be apart of the community finally.

I fully support your process modification plans. I'm glad you have it straight, instead of ass backwords like most of our newer members. i.e. sick dope sportmaxxors first, stock suspension, with a motor thats about to blow.

I'm definitely interested to see where this goes, and you seem like you'll be a genuinely good addition to this forum.

Welcome!

Good to see your off to a good start. I would Definately go the euro route. I just cant see it any other way for an early model E30.
