DOesn't look bad actually, outside of the hood vents and the smoked rears and the angel eyes.
What mirrors are those?
The rear Amber's where painted red first, then smoked, no angel eyes yet....these had the original angel eye's that were in them deleted for actual 7000K angel eye's but there on back order right now.Quote:

Though I still wanna see it, where's your shop?

It's time consuming, but it works. you need a wall and level ground and maybe 30 to 45 mins depending on how stiff your adjusters are. mine were brand new and super stiff - it's also a very awkward area to get your hands into.
you know - that looks way better than i thought it would. i'm looking forward to seeing it in person...

My mother always taught me, if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. But I felt like posting anyway.
Maybe not slam it all the way, but enough to get rid of the gap and give it a nice tuck.Quote:

That's the pictures I was wanting to see. Nice. Not too crazy about the hood vents, they seem not to be flush. Did you cut the hood or what ?
Matte Black paint where the hood would have been cut...can always take them off after.Quote:

I won't be driving this car in the winter.Quote:

what are the vents for? i saw four, on the hood and on the fenders... and what are those on your bumper? sensors? Unique e34 eh... Btw, how much would the NEX coilovers cost there?
Not bad at all, but the 4 vents..
The vents are asthetic only, no real purpose.Quote:

I found the same N.E.X. Coil-Over kit on ebay as the N.E.X. Manufactor for $800 Shipped. No Tax or Custom Fee's. It's the SS1-BW09 Kit.
Hey Repenttokyo, do you know a garage that can do the headlight adjustment?Quote:

do a search on the board, I think there are pics. You need to use the screws on the front which you can reach through the grilles, in conjunction with the adjusters on the rear.Quote:

Defiently 18's with the coil-over's, not going to super-slam it, but i will lower it for a nice tuck.Quote:

repenttokyo: Do you have pics of how to do it from the front?
Thanks...I'll take a crack at it on the weekend.Quote:
