    IIRC i had a very slight gap with tucking the rear bumper. Nothing noticeable or to worry about IMO.

    Be careful though, when i tucked mine the bumper split apart and later fell off. :rofl:

    Maybe Aaron used '88/late Cabrio (correct me if i'm wrong if the Cabrios aren't shorter) shocks?

    Thanks man. Well Aaron is helping me do mine and he didn't tuck his a lot like yours appears because he said it created a gap on the side. I would rather not have a gap but yours can't really be seen.

    Actually after I think about it, unless you tuck it so much that you get the to rounder part you probably won't experience a gap

    It's the same tuck everyone does as far as i know, i just drilled the shocks and kicked it with my foot until i stopped, no gaps.

    Here's a picture i had around though.

    Haha.

    I have some other pictures i didn't post to keep me out of time out. :P

    The rear apron looks to be a mould of a plastic bumper and a Reiger bottom (there's a seam where they meet). Made the Reiger bumper slightly less ugly.

    What kind of odds we wanna give as for how long he's not in "time out"?

    Hope you last a little longer, and don't find your old ways - whatever your name is 35875302 385738.

    So you picked up a pair a seats and a raging case of crabs while on a road trip - that about sum it up? Cool.

    What rear apron is that anyway?

    And that mattress is no different then any other in ANY hotel/motel. The stains just weren't removed. You really think that a clean looking mattress really is as clean as it looks? Still nasty to think about though. That's why I don't. ;) :)

    sucks about the motel. i stayed in something much like that for a spring break and a beach rat motel to boot. though i slept on the floor. after seeing that bed, it was probably for the better.

    i like the e30 look. for what the ride is worth, the look is bad ass.

    Actually thinking about that, at first glance, alot of people think my rear bumper is lower than my front, but from a measurement, they're both exactly 4 3/4" from the ground. I'd like something to make the front a little lower than the back.

    I'm going to raise the rear a smidget tomorrow it's at 23" front and rear, but i'd like the rear at 23 1/4", i'm thinking about getting a few flat rubber washers under the spring perches. In the pictures, the rear is sagged a tad, i picked up some heavy e36 seats. I'm very picky on ride height, it makes or breaks a car IMO.

    Thanks for the compliments though, i like my car alot more once i got rid of that sunbaked Bronzit, i actually got a compliment on the drive home of "Nice car!". :) I wanted black, but i painted it myself and was scared of black. :P I'm going to swap bumpers from a parts car soon and color match it insted of all flat black, mine's damaged if you can tell (moulding broken off on driver's side).

    As for the rims, i bought them before paint so i could do my fender rolling and not damage new paint, i saw the potentional in 'em, Bronzit just didn't bring it out. Like i said, i was going to do black to really set off my rims, but didn't happen, red is good enough.

    Your rims actually look good and I like the stance of your car.
