    The M3 side vents look stupid! I'm not sure if there's a scoop on the hood or it's the reflection of the Chevron sign. If it's a scoop, then Yuck!
    I don't mind the front facade and the side skirts, but the package as a whole smacks of all show and no go.

    ...gee. Says Turbo on the license plate. And M-Power on the windscreen. Must be one of those oh-so-rare M-turbos.

    Default Oh...I don't.

    I mean, if it says turbo, it must have one, right?

    Boo on the side vents, and I hope to God he doesn't have a hood scoop. Hopefully he can back up the M power and turbo labels. The kit isn't half bad though, I kinda like the front, it's E39 M5 esque. The side skirts say rice combat kit to me though, too much.

    M3 side vents, baaaad. Wheels are too large. Lose the M-Power banner.

    Other than that, not bad...yup, that is the Chevron sign reflection on the hood.

    Oh yeah, I'd drop the rear a little bit more...sitting up about 1/2" too high...neds to be more squat....looks kind of jacked up slightly, a la my 73 Charger on 275/60-15s....

    Cheers,

    Not as bad as most rice-boy creations. One of the things that drew me to the e34 body was the conservative styling while still being nice. Sort of like a bentley instead of a ferrari...im really not too creative with analogies.
