      Car looks great. (No comment on the wheels, I think they have been covered sufficiently for one thread). The interior looks great too. I love the black interior on the red. And the vinyl seats hold up so much better than the leather. Nice.

      I am interested in the window tint. Looks nice, and I wanna know what % you chose.
      How much did it cost you. I have a quote for $150.

          very nice. clean as summer's eve. the wheels aren't that bad, but i'm sure if you come across some nice wheels that aren't so busy someone will want them.
          I retired my E30 for now...

            get the low beam lenses off and paint the reflector black (since the projectors dont use it) reinstall the lens with silicone or black silicone and paint the outer ring black, so you can atleast have matching smoked headlights. I dont like the mismatch.

            The highs appear to be "homemade" US smoked ellips because the baffle is the shape of an "X" instead of a "+". Either way, gives identical results and appears to be well done.

              Your car looks stunning... I won't talk about the little imperfections that have been covered enough already in this thread (as with rcwells) but I must say that it looks quite nice indeed... I've always loved red E30's and yours is definately a nice one, good work!

                that's normal.. all you have to do is use a peice of wire and jump a couple pins on your high and low beam relays. that's a much better idea thank hacking up the lights to work with different bulbs. oh well. :)

                    Different from other people's opinions... but I like the lights. The high beams smoked and lows not. I think it gives a good contrast and makes the lows stick out more. I think it looks cool. Wheels - eh.. hehe. Other than that, I love the car. Very very nice. I wish mine could look like that.
