The 600 dollar 87' 325is: air ride!

[Rc 415]

No worries guys I am staying with the metal bumpers but want a rear apron, and I have late model IS sideskirts I'm going to install as well.

I got dizzy from the angle of the photos.

Don't you dare chop of the bumpers. You will lose the identity of the 87 IS. It looks nice as it is.

[Huff]

Are the changes made to the car to fit plastics irreversible or something?

Almost.. .Once you put all the effort into getting the bumpers cut, valance on straight up front and painting. You will never take them off.. Not to mention, if you weld on a rear valance, it's pretty much game over.

Just leave that beauty the way it is man. It's SO rare and pretty.

Nice work! Put that rack in, dont forget about the reverse wiring, then figure out the cruise control. But leave the bumpers an valence. My offer still stands.

[Rc 415]

knocked out this today:

Also got my hands on an e36 steering rack out of a 99 m3

[!AjHoWzA!]

Very nice! Looks good but yes get some euro bumpers not plastic ones for your early model dude.

[Kershaw]

why spend all that effort when you have a great looking e30?
