You lucky mofos and your year round nice weather. Car looks good. Only thing I would do is paint the chrome on the headlights to match, and paint the lower sections white to match the rest of the car.

I love alpine, my first bimmer was alpine... but where do you go offroading? that thing could drive over a bus :p

Oh please, at least us cheapos can drive over a curb :-D

[Anton CH.]

Just 1 pic? That car can look pretty mean if you do it right. I don't have photoshop installed on my home PC. Can someone help me out here?

[ILoveMPower]

She's a beaut, lets see some suspension!

:D

[filip00]

dude, get a new suspension! :D the front is up like you're accelerating hard! :)


i love the car though. i'd still paint the bumper trim around the fogs etc in the car color. it'd look more modern.

[Alexlind123]

i like the headlights. it makes it look as if the car is wearing sunglasses, sorta mirrored too almost.

[Jehu]

Looks like a foglight is hanging out on the passenger side?What's that green stuff its parked on?

[Ross]

Nice pic. I'm going to try again to start my snowblower now.

Ok, 4 confirmed Oahu 5ers on here. 1st annual Honolulu Fest??:D

[Booster]

Praise:- Beautiful countryside views ! Good composition !Nice Fiver.:)

Criticism:-Use a scrim or bounce surface to brighten the darker side of the shot.SO much sunlight and so little light to enhance the car !:(
You can use foamcore like whats used for mounting pictures or posters on as a white soft bounce board. I've even used the silver dash UV screens before in a pinch.

needs a drop and some shadowline. the smoked headlights look goofy and not crazy about the blacked out grille.

Right now, my car would be an embarrassment. I saw you on H1 yesterday, looks real nice lowered.

[Macv]

What is it with the high noses on some of these cars? I've seen a few here in Germany and they leave me puzzled...

Did somebody swap in some v-12 rated springs or something?

[califblue]

Gorgeous wheels, I'd suggest losing the light hindering film on the headlights though...Obviously some suspension modifications would do wonders.

Only thing is 4 of the 5s are alpinewiess, so it could get confusing when we all leave the bar all at once.

Ed = 90 535

Hie34 = 89 525

Blitzkrieg Bob = 90 525

Blitzkrieg's bitch = 94 525iT

Al = 92 525

Wes = 89 535

How does one go about blacking out the chrome ect. Is there a kit for that?
Thanks for response.

[bigtisas]

The white color and rims look really nice. Just lower the front a bit.

****, if we're gonna meet up, I'm gonna need to spend some bucks to get her up to par - I've since lost the rims, tint (f*cking cops, apparently their 5% tint on their SUVs is cool but not my bimmer, 3 tickets later got rid of it), and one headlight is bus' up. At least I'm still dropped rollin' on dem bottlecaps ;)
