Do you like the OEM look?

[Raxe]

Um how are most members of this sites's cars styled?

...stock e30s that have 20+ years of abuse sittin on bottle caps...

Haha jk, but seriously most of the cars on R3V lean towards 318is OEM styling. Weaves, IS lips and spoilers, ellipsoids, etc.

What kind of stripes are you running down the side of your car?

AC Schnitzer, you can check the link in the sig if you're interested in a set ;)

I think the term is "OEM+"

[Aus E30]

I like the (^oem+) look.
I am however slightly pulled towards the way some cars/colour combo's pull of clear/smoked indicators and in rare cases, all red tails. But only some can pull it off without being really obvious.

And i'm all for tint (Australia) but nothing so black that it contrasts massivly with the car itself.. and I like wheels that stick to e30 oem/(any)bmw, I love when people go to the effort of making bmw wheels fit.
And I do like the blacked kidneys.

...while we're whoring XD

I hate the aftermarket or non-year matching front bumpers on E30's. The valences are always too low compared to the rest of the car and it looks awkwardly balanced.

i've always been an oem+ guy. if my car sticks out to the non-enthusiast, i've taken it too far imo. i like when someone when a trained eye can spot the small details that make my car different. the low front & high sides & rear is kind of classic bmw motorsport styling;

Im gearng up to fishbowl my car. So that makes my car oem.

Sorry, but The no frill 325/318 I, IS, e30 just looks bla.. to me...
I would have to say the after market look is much better on this car..
Of the E30's I think the M3 is the only car that can get away with sitting stock with out looking dorkish..

OEM+

I don't like gaudy body kits, huge chrome wheels, giant spoilers, chicken wire grilles, etc. etc. BMW parts are usually made with purpose, which is why I'd think a lot of us like the E30.

the outside of my car is 99% stock, but I still get asked if it's a body kit all the time..

Totally agree with you.

An E30 with no side skirts and no rear apron looks TERRIBLE in my eyes (ESPECIALLY EARLY MODEL E30's with aluminum bumpers).

But, an E30 M3 stock is fine just the way it is.
