    Today I completed my OBC-Install.
    With the new (and improved) light bar taking a few days longer in the mail, it prolonged the install.
    I cut my hand open when digging under the radio hole, and I got blood all over my dash.
    At least I have a perfectly working 13 Button Obc Now!
    For the record, those four screws around the OBC are a complete BITCH.
    According to my new OBC, I get an average of 17.5 MPG.

      how do you manage 17.5? I rarely get 18, all I do is drive around the city.

        Idk. I don't really take off much anymore, if at all.
        Need to look around. In the meanwhile, here are some shots from today.

          Have you thought about getting a rear decklid spoiler? like an mtech 1 or an IS

            Actually many times.
            I can't make up my mind though...
            They look good, but then sometimes I think they ruin the E30s bodylines

              I think sedans, yours in particular, look retarded with is lips. They just look overkill. No offense trackjunkie. I just prefer the clean subtleness of sedan e30s

                Are you talking about the IS rear-lip spoiler? or Front Lip?

                      I've decided that I want to do mount a sub box in the ski pass.
                      However, I don't have a rear armrest.
                      Were there ever any Natur leatherette arm rest cars?

                        You don't need it. just take the trunk cover off from inside the trunk, and pop out that panel with a hammer. Bass will still enter the cabin.

                          Really? Are you running that setup on your car?

                              Oh yeah- forgot to mention that I got the Magnaflow on today.
                              Sounds too nice.
