It certainly looks well done, but honestly just a bit too much bling for my taste.

Speed bits are great, but I truly don't understand the folks that think that fiberglass bits hung on what is essentially a brick will do anything but attract cops.

Maybe I'm getting cranky in my old age...

i dont know how old YOU have to be in order to be cranky(the owner of that car is 51)
the car has never attracted cops,and the only part that is fiberglass on that car is the wing

I'm actually not cranky

If the front spoiler and bumpers and skirts and vents are steel I'm impressed with the handiwork, time spent, and commitment to the project but it's still a bit bling for me.

Hey, it's a free country, it's his car, and it's not exactly like there aren't a zillion E30's running around, so he hasn't defiled an icon or anything. Different strokes for different folks!

If that thing doesn't attract the cops, then the guy must know how not to drive like an idiot, so that's certainly cool, too.

Oh, and what is under the hood is absolutely hot - I'm just not feeling the exterior.

Take motor and anything related to it and drop it in a new car. Then it would be good. That shell is horrible.

bm318ist · « **Reply #7 on:** September 03, 2008, 02:28:49 PM »

well the interior is not even touched yet,and as far as the shell it isn't that bad, front and rear bumpers are e30 m3 as well as the quarters and front fenders. the wing and the side skirts are not m3 but we are in the process of changing them! the color is e46 m3 phoenix yellow. anyway it's all good, you don't have to like it.
and ,dennis i signed up a long time ago ever since i bought those doors off you!

Oh god I just noticed that some of the interior bits are painted Phoenix Yellow too.
