early model vs late model

[BillBrasky]

You lost me after in-n-out burger. I started to drool on my keyboard.

[Asbradley21]

does it have ellipsoids in the high beams and high 9005's in the low? wtf?

Those aren't ellipsoids. Those are h1's.

[Dave McLaren]

I was only talking shit anyway.

I like then both, but I really do prefer early rear arches.

Has anyone got good side-by-side shots of the early and late arches? Back in the '80s we had no idea there was any difference between them, and honestly, I still can't picture this. And there's some difference as to when the cabrios? I half-assed searched this before but came up empty.

Look at IE3s

ON early models, (my sig, plenty of others) = sex

On late, looks retarded

[E30_Pare]

Ooo nice. Stephen u got the IE3's on?! I like it better than your last drop. Anyways high rear arches FTW!

[fiercee30]

+1 I feel the same. I also have a soft spot for euro bumpers, but sometimes its just to classy to be aggressive. That's when you turn towards late models. Sometimes they just look like epic beast. :hitler:

[Alkasquawlik]

i think diving boards look fugly.

Car whore.

Needz moar drop.

Even ground controls aren't low. How do you guys get so low? Grr, my car is so high.

Dave, grab a tape measure and measure from the style line to the bottom of the arch. Late models are damn near 1 1/4" lower arches...that is why the bumpers don't swap over.

to each their own

I prefer the late model body style. just personal presonal preference.

I wouldn't mind an early model with some euro ext goodies thou. I have seen some clean examples lately.

Ditto. I'd like a late model over my early model... Or a plastic bumpered early model would be fine too :)

Looks like it. I didn't even know these could be swapped.

For people who don't know what Jparkr is talking about:
Look at the white ones headlights. The projector headlights are in the high beam spot (inside) and the non projector lights are in the low beam spot (outside). Thats not normal.

I believe that is a unanimous agreement.
