I love it, although I am still futzing with some fitment issues. It would seem that the pipe coming out of my cat was 'tweaked' at some point, so it throws off the alignment of the whole system. It's not all the time, but I occasionally get some vibration as the pipe hits the rear valance, and the shop I took it to wasn't able to get the pipe centered any more than it is without major work. I think I'm going to just open up the exhaust spot on the valance a little.

Sounds doable. What if you "designed" a collar and fit it into the exhaust spot?

Thinking the exhaust is my next addition. Is it loud? I have a check engine light at idle. Maybe an O2 sensor? If I replace the exhaust, will I or can I eliminate some of the sensors?

Here are a couple of shots. I lighten all except one. The black vinyl tape between the lense and tag filler really made a diff,

hmmm...looks p-shoped to me. Anyhow, nice lights. Unforthunatly, those are illegal here. (no modification of OEM lights permitted)

Busted!

So even if the MHW is "OEM" you guys still can't do it?

Here as in Quebec (Canada). The police are very anal about modified (smoked) side markers and lights. If you go by a police you can lower your speed but you can't hide your lights. But those really look nice

I might bite the bullet and get some

Thanks! I like them but biting that bullet was painful. I was going to paint-smoke a set and may still do it for fun later. I am not too hopeful that paint will hold up for long in this sun light.

LOL! Its funny. I can do the smoked lenses but rarely get to do greater than 55 because of all the traffic! Go figure.

BTW, they would look amazing on your car!

Thanks.

I got them from Andy Lund at bavauto.com . They were about $379.00 and they have them in stock. Great service! I have heard a rumor that MHW will not be available in the future.

If thats your car in the avatar, the MHWs would kick a$$.

Thanks. I used the Trim paint. It seems to adhere better to the "plastics."

Yeah, the box label/tag was a hoax. But I thought you would be the crowd to appreciate it.

I'm getting those as soon as my car get's back from the body shop! They look great!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man!
Hows your car doing BTW? If you are going to get MHWs def give Andy Lund a call at BavAuto. He has an E30. Pretty knowledgeable guy. I found a couple sets of the MHWs but they were about 20 bucks more. Keep us posted on the progress.
