Nothing like a good forum collab.

Why black lockstrip instead of chrome?

Alpine White with chrome isnt the sexy combo, but Alpine White with Shadowline is a very sexy combo... Just have to do ALL the rest now haha

Looks so good man! the clear glass with the fresh lockstrip looks absolutely amazing. thanks again for trusting me to take on the task, and for helping out with an extra hand. Man that lockstrip installation was PITA but regardless I still had a blast !! I was curious so when I got home I looked it up and believe it or not they make a special tool for the lockstrip its like barley $20. That woulda been good to know before hand, my finger tips are still sore hahah. Also that 2.7i rips ;0

This weekend was a HUGE, yet minor change...

One of the biggest annoying things on this car was the horrible rear window. It had tint on it that was so baked on that would come off in tiny chips and made it impossible to see out of. I'm not on facebook, but luckily for me max.rodriguezzz is and linked me to someone locally who had a rear window for a good deal. I actually ended up trading an AFM cone adapter for the glass. Win-win for both of us. Also picked up a new black lockstrip and convinced Max to tackle it for me.

Kid brought all the tools to do the job, I setup a canopy so we wouldnt cook.


FF a little while and new clear glass is installed. So happy with this change...


and finally, though I didnt take a pic of my car I had to grab this one from the photographer who camps out on ACH taking pics. Love this one.

You said it, not me.

But it's a track toy so function > form as they say.

I have a bunch of chrome vinyl laying around, I might try and wrap it ... my biggest beef with it is that the grille is black, and now it looks broken with a light missing... Painting it white would be way too much effort haha

I’ll be honest though, I hate the way these look 😂😂

The stripes make it look a race version e30. If you lived close to me I would paint your cow catcher for free. I would like to see your track days on your e30.

Race car sh!t boys!


3 bolts were supposed to align with the headlight alignment holes, but maybe thats for the Ellipsoid lights

What was the set up with the camping? Reserved camp spot at the track? That's something I wouldn't mind making the drive down for in the future.

They have a ton of reserved spots, but you have to purchase the full 5-day package and have to get a track pass for those days. Since I knew I wasn't going to be there the whole time, I bought an open camping spot ($25/night IIRC) and a 2 day track pass. Totally worth it. That total cost was less than one night at a sh!tty hotel. They have showers with warm water available for use too...
