    You might be able to make the cluster window look a lot better with some plastic polish, I was able to make quite an improvement on one that was a little hazy and scratched up

      I've successfully buffed my cluster cover with cutting compound and a rotary. Same concept as fixing hazy headlights.

      The first page of this is an advertisement for SEM trim paint. That stuff is so money...

        "OEM" Would be something like an Mtech 1 rear apron, but that's for euro bumbners.

        OEM-like stuff exists from a decent number of other companies from back in the time when e30s were new, finding them however may not be as easy as they used to be. Racing Dynamics (RD) and Zender I know for sure did.

        R3v Link on this topic: https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/for...-diving-boards

        There are some companies selling them now either copies or other versions but I don't want to link something that I don't know for sure isn't scammy.

          Not sure how any stock rear valence/apron will work with the bumper higher from the "High Dive" setup. Would be a gap at minimum unless it mounts to the bumper itself?

            I have a plan...

            The Zebulon Carbon rear diffuser is a made-to-order part, that is designed to exploit the airflow underneath a race car. Paired with an appropriately designed aero package (and ideally, a flat or tunneled floor) this part can vastly increase a race car's aerodynamic efficiency, adding downforce and even reducing drag.

              Very cost effective. At $2.5k, buy two and stack them.
