    Possibly looking for a rear subframe with trailing arms. Mine might be bent, not too sure. Gonna have it checked out when I go in for an alignment.

      The E30 was due for a slight change. I'm still too lazy to take real pictures of it but you get the idea. Yes, they look way better in person and yes, they are real :)

          huh. Your real ones aren't as yellow looking as my real ones. Are they new or used?

            They are used. It's the picture. Iphone in the garage only does so much with color. They have a much richer "dehydrated yellow pee" color in person, as you know. :nice:

              Love them. Those are on my list for sure. They are just so damn expensive. Where'd you get them?

              Also, what was that wax / shield / protector you used last year?

                A guy in France is finding a few sets. I had one break during shipping so I have a spare housing and high beam, but he was great to work with and found me another unit and sent it out to me. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you in contact with him.

                I used opti-coat on the E30. I am still in love with it.

                          That's a pretty good deal if you already have good housings. Similar to what I paid for the used set, but I got housings and pigtails.

                          Edit: I got the opti-coat online.

                            yeah, no projectors or adjuster screws or frames. I assembled mine using all new parts and it spiralled into the "this is too damn spendy" category really quickly.
