        Not too bad only on the door. P.s. love that ass on ur avatar.

        UPDATE: Car has been sitting, been driving around a newly acquired 99 chevy s10 4x4. Good news, attention is back on the BMW. Just got back from Mexico for spring break, and just ordered Ground Control Coil Overs!!! Prepare for some slammage :) 440f/650r. full kit. Ryan G will hopefully be installing on saturday :) Will definately post pics.

        Now I'll need a skid plate next. This one is the best right?

        Skid Plate - 245$ plus shipping.
        Kinda expensive? Is there a cheaper one that is a curb crusher as well? I mean it is our pan. definitely worth it.

          Yeah that is by far the strongest skid plate. I run one myself and it saves me weekly. I have had one installed for the past two years now, zero issues. As far as the price, you get what you pay for. I have seen many documented failures of the race skids plate and if you consider you get a frame rail stiffener and a skid plate it is economical. Race skid wants $280 just for an x-brace

              Great work on the car so far I just picked up an eta myself looking forward to getting started on it and put on the 731 head i have lying around. I've done alot of the things you've done so far on your car my most recent one is the dashboard swap, i know how scary it is halfway done when doing the change over. Those GC's look great coilovers is something i want to do aswell

                  Little Update... Ordered an iS lip to go with my Ryan G Splitter. Also ordered a new Mtech1 steering wheel badge, adjustable cam gear, and will be ordering a skidplate. Also, heres some pictures, finally got to wash the car :) And I need to fix my Drivers side HID low beam. Sorry for iPhone pics, all I can do, a proper shoot will come when I get my lip with my buddy and his DSLR.
                  And for the car :)








                  I wish I tucked more up front, only have 1 thread left to go all the way down on the shortened struts..shouldn't it be lower?

                      I'm not buying a new Mtech1 wheel, only the little striped badge for it. I'm getting it from Blunt, here on R3v. He may be able to get you the wheel as well. PM Him :)

                          Looks great. Why do you want it any lower? It looks perfect the way it sits. A nice balance of low while still being functional.

                            Dude we have to take some pics of our cars! I see your car parked all the time. It'd be awesome because they're both black coupes and can use the 7th street garage too! ha!

                              I have no rubbing issues where its at, and isn't too tucked up front, thinking of maybe going to a 205/45 tire up front. I like the raked look, but don't wanna raise the back.

                                Definately!!! I'll pm u my number...

                                Also a quick update, just got some M50 green top injectors (17.5#). should work well with the m30 AFM and alpina chip...to my understanding...more air = need for more fuel...people are happy with their choice, can't hurt to try it for 20$ :)
