Wishno's backup DD project thread(Dakar content)

Not going to paint match the deletes? How's the quality and fit on that lip?

I will when I have a few more pieces to have panted as well. The lip is pretty thin/flexible so we kind of had to "stretch" it over the lower part of the bumper. I was only able to get the four screws on the sides on but because we had to stretch it to fit its really tight now. Overall though I really dig it. Im going to get a stock lip as well when I get a new bumper skin painted so I can swap between the two.

Nice subtle additons, very nice.

Thanks! Unfortunately I have also had some not so subtle thoughts floating around in my mind.

Really debating this but I will probably sit on the idea for a while in case I change my mind.

Do. It. Do it.

Nice pickup! Your sedan looks great too.

Great score! I like it

dakar ftw. You should replace the coupe window trim (2 pieces per side, $50 altogether iirc). I did it on my e36, taking out the coupe window is pretty easy on these cars and the parts are cheap. I also did my rear windshield trim (which is another 2 pieces, like $25 in parts).

I like all the mesh wheels you got floatin around! slam that thing on those wheels!

I think it looks pretty much perfect as-is. Don't take it over the top with a wing.

[MR 325]

Curious, what suspension is it on and what size tires?

Making me REALLY want an e36 m3 as A DD/ beater.

Well done

[Wishno87]

Thanks guys!

I will probably replace most of the window trim eventually. This was a Florida car so most of the trim is pretty baked. The stuff at the bottom of the windshield will probably be first.

Its on Tien "s tech" or something like that. Too soft and lazy for my taste. My E30 would run circles around this thing. Tire size it 205/45 front and 245/40 rear. Just ordered a pair of new 235s for the rear though because the 245s rub way too much with the soft springs. Had to take out the spare for now.

[MR 325]

This car has me thinking about Style 5's on my M3. I'd definitely want to run 235/40 though.
