    Re: Fresh pics of "Rough Life"

    A small update on da beemer bottlecaps for anyone looking at getting a set ...

    The offset on these things is only 35mm which is about 10mm less than stock LX-i wheels. This is good and bad. It's good because it brings the wheel / tire combo out of the wheel wells a bit. It's bad because ya cant really run tires much fatter than stock sized or they'll rub yer fender lip.

    I got some 215/60-14 tires mounted for cheap the other day but they rub the fender lip if I put 'em on the rear of the car. My 205/60-14 tires are a tight squeeze but they dont rub in the front or rear.

    Hehe them 215/60-14s fit just fine on the front with no rubbing. I just moved the 205/60-14s to the back. The 215/60-14s look really fat (as in oversized) on the front wheels. The Beemer bottlecaps are 6" wide compared to the stock LX-i wheels which are only 5.5" wide if I recall correctly.

    I think I may mount up the stock LX-i wheels for the winter though.

    New Pics!!

    What y'all think of the tailight tint? I also did the front sidemarkers, and headlight eyebrows so far. I'm planning to do the front turn signals too.

    I've also gotten the repainted 86/87 side moulding on the car to replce the lumpy lookin' 88/89 stuff.



    Gotta get some smoked license covers to go with the tails.

    It looks good man, I think if you paint up your grill a flat black or something similar it would be pretty good.

    New pics!

    I got my OEM window visors on finally! The old ones did * NOT * wanna come off!!!




    I picked up a carbon fiber hood from a local craigslist ad recently as well! It still needs a few things done but it looks too sweet to leave off the car till it's completely done!





    She almost looks like a respectable family car from this angle. ;-)

    Next project is painting the grill and re-installing the windshield sprayers. I'm considering carbon fiber vinyl (to match the hood) for the headlights as well.

    i think the body color headlights look good

    it wouldn't look as interesting if they were matched, especially with a low quality vinyl

    Seriously, that is a nicely done car.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Re: Fresh pics of "Rough Life"

    The newest addition being done is the 'lude seats. I got a set of dark blue/black seats the other day and they're going in this week. I've got the matching back seat as well but I dunno if I like the fit on that so I may just leave that out of it.

    I'll have pics of the installed seats soon and I'm gonna do a how-to with pics and instructions for the folks that need it.

    Re: Fresh pics of "Rough Life"

    Thanks bro!

    I'm gonna do the front grill in black as well soon so that it'll match up a bit better with the rest. It's just such a b*tch getting to the bolts holding that sucker in there. I need to come up with an alternate mounting method I think.
