PaladinReed, you've got the best sig pic on this site btw. Sick.

Thought I'd throw in some updated pics...


















Most of the changes are on the inside - George G. dimmer relay, maplight mirror, new Blaupunkt stereo, analog clock, euro fog switch, gauge package from Parker Performance, mtech door sills, rear seat headrests, foot pedals, e34 leather ebrake handle, cup holder from Bav auto, OEM coin tray in the map pocket, and my favourite change is the leather ebrake boot, shift boot, map pockets, door pulls and grab handles with triple mtech colour stitching from Kevin Chin, they are a really nice touch to the interior. Outside are smoked turns and side markers, second interior trunk light, and the kamei rear spoiler and front windsplitters, I love those. Big thanx to Turk and Levent at GutenParts for letting them go! The wheels are 16" Mila Miglia from the PO and he also installed the Bilstein HD's and H&R OE Sport springs. A sweet short shift kit from the local guys at Nurburgring and a MarkD chip. It's a fun drive. I have a kamei rear apron to add on and then pick up a set of IS skirts. Down the road I want to change the wheels to open lug Alpina's, a Supersprint exhaust and a 3.25 diff and it's done... Maybe an Alpina 4 spoke steering wheel, then it's done...

Finally get to see this thing. Looks great! They're right though, it's tough to pull ff those wndsplitters.
Maybe black wheels and lower would help.

True and true....

and as someone mentioned, it's tough to pull off the wind splitters. I think it would need some more period correct mods to make it work. I like the direction you're taking though.....

Liking the interior, the Zender pieces are Zender, so you either like them or don't. Not really any middle ground on them.

If you like great as you'd have since it's your car and you see it daily.

Well I say sweet-sweet update! Digging all of it, just think matching Zender front/rear valances and side skirts would make it look 10X better:

[M-technik-3]

Yes but you had non diving boards as well so makes a big difference.

^i love this car. i agree that black wheels, or wheels with some black might go well with the zender stuff. get rid of the leather wrapped door pulls & map pockets, you can ship them to me & i'll dispose of them for you.

Thanx for the comments guys, appreciate them. The windsplitters do seem to flow better on a black car like Jason's old one above, but I like the contrast, and the fact that there are very few cars using them. Maybe black wheels would help a bit as mentioned. It's my little tribute to the e9 csl, my favourite car. I'm putting my touches on it and I like the way it looks and feels, without going overboard and ruining the lines. I don't think it's too much at all. Just the side and rear skirts to finish it off.
