Is that aircraft shit?

Is that aircraft shit?

yes. ;)

Got rid of the chalkboard hood and painted the hood regular flatblack for obvious horsepower gains. I also made a super cool trendy hipster plaid shift boot. 8-) I finally found a lip for my car. I know its not pretty but I like it and I got it for free. Probably gonna make a because racecar splitter or something for it. I also finished flaring my fenders. What I did was bend the inside lip outwards instead of in. I think it came out pretty good. I still need to smooth out the fronts. I installed my airplane frequency changer thing where my radio should be and threw on a stance works sticker for shits and giggles.:drink:

Not atm sorry.

The black wheels with the chrome lips got old quick so I decided to change the wheel color..AGAIN!

Here are some pics to show the fender flare work I've been doing. This is with stock wheels to show how wide the flares are. Obviously they still aren't completely done but I like them so far!

I haven't updated this in a while so here some new stuff.

I'm sure you guys know this happened:

(If not than read this http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=251141)

But you know I couldn't let it die, so only a few days after the crash I began work. I teared the mangeled parts off and sourced replacements.





The damage was bad, but not as bad as It could of been. With just the pipe from my jack along with a rubber mallet, the core support was easily bent back into place. I replaced the clutch in the engine fan and once again the car was drivable.



But it was far from done...

Suspense!

Link to roof rack feet?

I slapped on the bumper and just like that the car was "street legal" once again :-P I found a local guy who had a bunch of parts so I was able to score a sweet deal on some H4 conversion lenses along with some grills and a hood!

It looked like this:


Than it looked like this:


With some work to the valance I was able to get everything mounted again. It was awesome to finally see my e30 back to the way it was. The white hood is kinda growing on me too :D



This is a better picture of my new lights!




I got the hood with the sticker on it, don't know if I'll keep it haha
