no daytime pics of your new paintjob then?
Not yet, no exhaust, middle of over-hauling it from front to back.Quote:

That plan didnt work, so I need a new right inner tail light, anyone?
Because he or she will see the bling-bling vents of your hood in their mirrors ?Quote:
" I feel bad for that driver that stays in front of me..."
:D Sorry, could not resist !
They are unfortunately. I must have been intoxicated when I thought of that, they don't look half bad, worst case scenario it's double-sided tape.Quote:

i don't think the hood vents look too bad (thank goodness your car is silver!) but i fail to see the point on a 525 wagon... oh yeah... forgot who was driving...
do the headlights look like that because they are HID or because the lenses are off?
where are you getting your exhaust from?
i'm not entirely sure i'm hoping to see you on the highway (banking on getting a warning post, buddy) but good luck with the rest all the same!
Well, my headlights we're DEPO with the crappy angel eye rings but they looked too fake for me, so I opened them up to put real angel eye's in them. Whilst installing the angel eye's, 1 of the glass lenses fell and broke so I had ordered new clear lenses.Quote:

The manufactor contacted me and said they were having problems with the machine's so they refunded me the money. So when that happened I was going to leave only the low beam's with angel eye's. After re-installing the headlights onto the car, I tested all the lights and the angel eye's somehow had broken. So I re-rook them out.
The problem I had now was they was a wierd look behind the clear lenses since the old halo's were gone, so I painted the housing behind the old halo's black.
As for the hood vents, they don't look have bad, they blend with the rest of the car as well as the fender vents.
Worst case scenario is take a heat gun to it and they come right off, I didn't cut holes to put them on.
I'm doing the exhaust myself, just waiting on the header's to finish the install.
This car is turning into an absolute ricefest.... no offense.... .... well kind of.
How old are you again?
oh god fender thingies too, so it was like some drunken game of ring toss with adheasive backed autozone plastic bits :D
i hope you get a ticket with lights that blue, I am so sick of being blinded by people in Montreal with blue lights like that, it's not safe and it's annoying as ****.
So, the lights are there to move others from your path? Don't be too surprised if they just fire a shot instead of yielding.
why can't you be considerate of the other drivers on the road? what makes you think i want to be blinded by lights like that?Quote:

I'm replacing the entire line, new header's(from ebay), magnaflow high flow cat, 2.5in - 2.5out), OBX-R exhaust. And 2.5" straight all the way.Quote:

I can always take off the vents, it's not the end of the world, I was just trying them out.
repent - I've had 8000K low's and 10000K highs when I had my old headlights and never got bothered about them.
winfred - The side vents are E60 M5 vents that are actually into the fender, not stick ons.
MacV - I just turned 20.

those are just as bad... I fully expected badmanners to have fitted those to go with his tacky theme.
Don't come back to this thread :) I've warned you now.Quote:

I have NO idea where this bad idea came from... other than there are apparently enough younger people who grew up with "covered" projector lights and think the e34 needs updating... because they can't get an e39 I guess.
No, DEPO is fine. My euro's are depos, many rock DEPOS. But not those hideous one piece ones. They're terrible.Quote:

No, if you were 15 years older, everyone's comments would be much, much harsher, because they wouldn't be tempered by knowing that you may be still be too young to recognise the difference between good taste and garish abomination.Quote:

no because it is cheap, tacky, and very ugly.Quote:

Why don;t you get some Vinyls that say " i mod My CAR" in stick em on...that would be different.
HOW about painting BMW on it with a giant roller brush in Black paint?
that is different.
Carve some heiroglyphic in the paint with a key...
You could write LOOK AT ME! in reverse lettering on the windscreen too...
And Like I said I am not surprised that you would want to put those abominations on your car.
would not surprise me a bit to find out that you were "the claw's" passenger

Same sh!t except for the name on the back, Decals are over the top and really attract attention. A couple of accents on the car that CAN be removed aren't the end of the world or irreversable,
If I was 15 years older and posted this, everyone's comments would be different, it's all sterotypical just because of my age.
-What's that picture have to do with anything?
no it isn't, if you were 15 years older you'd have experience enough to use your eyes instead of your mouth. it is a result of your choices, which are a result of your ignorance, not age... check out rvae34's fine car and know he's younger than you...
Try using your eyes (and brain, if so equipped) again, and tell me how cheap shoddily made knock of parts that don't fit right on the car, don't work correctly, and impair cooling are anything like the correct OEM parts.
PLease explain how those abominations you have now are exactly the same as Hellas or Bosch... they are not. You'd get knocked a little for having depo smileys, but not much...ANGEL EYES?
You are fat and waering "i'm fat" tshirt... again mods that are useless pointless, redundant, cheap & garish as LV...
Already you've chip'd with one from ebay which sounds absolutely nasty as hell on the top end and is definitely causing damage... and you are still running it. You'd think you would have learned by now to NOT cheap out, because No one is impressed with your ghetto mods ruining a perfectly nice car.
Either you are seeking approval (but are too stupid to realize what you are doing isn;t deserving of it), and that is why you post, or you are attempting to create controversy with them b/c you are an attention who-re.
God knows you weren't getting much of either on DTMpower, or Youtube.
last pic?

Kind of the same level of stupidity I have noted in all your posts here and elsewhere.
That was a snipe at me, because I'm close to being 15 years older than he.Quote:

The reason that everyone is giving you **** is that the true essence of an E34 is UNDERSTATEMENT!! It doesn't need wings and additional vents. They were designed to be like a plain black Armani suit. Understated, unintrusive, yet stylish, purposeful, and to-the-point.
Therefore, placing stick-on faux vents on the bonnet is NOT purposeful... Its pointless. As is E60 side grilles... If they aren't letting air out of the engine bay of a 500BHP monster (ie the M5), they too are pointless.
As for the age thing... I copped all that too. Don't be too surprised!!
Glad to see the birth of a street-wise Touring!! I Love tourings more than the saloon... But for the love of God, DON'T **** it up!! If you want tacky accessories, by something Japanese!!
BMW doesn't do tacky stick-on...

Give the guy a break man! :) At least withhold such harsh words until you see the finished article!
Its not that I don't agree, sorry but I don't like stick on vents in any form on an e34, but I did some crazy mods when I was 18, real bad taste stuff but then you learn by your mistakes! These days I like factory look with subtle mods - especially on an e34.
You're putting a lot of time and money into that car by the looks of it and you will learn a lot, don't be put off by the comments, keep the pics coming but
I'd have to agree with the consensus about the vents though, maybe you should get the hairdryer out?!!
Check this site out, gives me hours of amusement, those vents are nothing compared to some of the tat on here, theres even an e28 with e39 headlights somewhere on there (so if the above is a mock up and not real it won't be long!)

I use it when guys who like to lift their trucks get behind me and they can't help but blind me with their lights. It's not a problem to just flip my mirror. I change things on my car according to what I like. Other people should change things about their vehicles according to what they like.

your really askin for it if you havent notice E34's are the type of cars that get this type of uhh treatment most E34 owners are either older with some decent taste or enthusiasts. Im sorry but doing what your doing to that poor E34 is like putting a fart can on a Porsche speedster
really its nothing personal and this isnt a personal attack towards you but you have horrendous taste.
and also I have no idea how old you are so thats not involved
