Schedule problem.  Been on the drawing board for about a month and hopefully the weekend after T Day it will be done.

BTW, caps are off!

Well get to it son! I just got mine tinted 2 weeks ago and it's been 35 degrees and overcast ever since. How's that?

looking good
 
imho:
black the IS spoiler
go capless
call it a day ;)


I'm with Asubimmer on that one.  I painted my iS lip and rear spoiler with black "truck bed liner"...  Easy to paint with and looks great!  

Plus, if I chip or scrape it, it's an easy fix!

I have several chips on my lower lip already and only had it on for a few weeks. I second the "truck bed liner" paint for the lower lip.

Regarding tints, most of you are lucky in the fact that Illinois and only 1 other state has the stupid no tint law for the front windows. :mad:  Just got a $50 ticket the other day while I was parked on the street.:mad: :mad: :mad:

I think with the potholes here in Maine I'm going to stay stock.
I don't want to rip off the oil pan.
Do like your car though:)

I have seen an E30 with a spliter lip spoiler.  Dosen't look half bad.  It would solve a clearance issue.  I took the caps off but was wondering how to keep debris out.

That tint law is ridiculous.  I might get the front window tinted as well.  If I do it will be a very light tint so as to not get a ticket.  While I like the contrast of black trim on a white car, I will be going a different direction.  The black side mouldings and the black lower sections will be painted to match the car. Notice the driver's door handle.  I found a set of Konig black mesh with silver lip 15s I might get.  I like the black rim look.

Bottom line. You guys have some very sick rides and I am just trying to catch up.  This part time job money goes quick.

Just don't let yourself get pimped out. I don't want to see you on the news standing on a corner with a pink mini skirt.:D
