    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.

    It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

      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.

        Can you take a pic to show the gap, if any, in between the bumper shroud and the tuck front bumper? I am curious cause that is TUCKED and I don't want a huge gap when I tuck mine. If you get a chance.

          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.

            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

              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?

                    Durrr, should've read your signature.

                    I kind of regret that mono wiper, i modded the arm before i modded the actual mechanism to give it a full sweep. I realized how much of a PITA it is to get in there to cut and weld that and just kind of gave up.

                    Atleast i did it halfway right and bought a long blade and straighed the arm. :P

                    Thanks for the compliment though, makes me feel a little better about it.

                        yeah i saw that. most of the people on there wait for jordan to say something nasty and them jump on the bandwagon. seems like most e36 owners are like that:D but there are a few people on bf.c that are respectable.

                          Yeah, the newer BMW guys are usually pretty arrogant. I don't have the money to spend thousands on a perfect paint job and whatever else. i do have the money to make a fun, decent looking car though. As far as looks, i'm pretty happy with it for now, maybe a few things here and there like a splitter.

                          I'm wanting to begin saving my money for supercharging.

                                I don't think the rear bumper is really that bad. I kinda like it
