Hey guys. I was cruising around and got bored, so I decided to snap a few shots of the e34. Its not very clean, but whatever. I regret not getting my wheels/suspension before I invested in subs and a HU, but it will all come together soon. Criticism welcome, and comments appreciated.

yea.. it used to look like this. Actually that was right about the time I started modding.. as you can see the euro plate and elipsiods.. Poor thing was ugly.

Lots of over time, and working while my friends were out having a good time. I have an e21 to pick up here soon and then im done for a while.

Again, aside from the dark pics the ride is looking good. Smoked EE's would complete the smoked look.

Im not sure what brand it is.. but its just like an ACS one except it has an led third brake light.. heres some pics of it. I have been thinking about selling it, but I havent ever seen another one, so I havent decided whether to get rid of it or not. It is sitting in my closet and it will probobly sit there for a while.

Yup, I finally took your advice and got them. I was surprised with the difference they made, really cleaned up the back end.

Where did you get the ShadowLine trim (price?), or did you just get them painted or blackout tape? Also, where did you get the blacked out grill?

Thanks.. BTW, you car looks good.. I'm going for the "Darth Vader" look myself eventually.. :)

I used the blackout tape for the shadowline (I can provide a link of where to buy it), and for the blackout grills I just sanded my chrome ones down, primered, and painted them flat black.

Two words--M Parallels. Once you get wheels and tires your car will look 20x better. Nice looking car as-is, but wheels make all the difference IMO.

do you have the photo blocker coating on your license plate or did you just not edit out your plate number on the last angled shot?

Heres the tape for the chrome trim:

For the grill (This is what I remember doing, but search and you might find more):
1: Clean chrome grills w/ paint thinner
2: Sand with a fine sandpaper (dont know grit #)
3: Rustoleum Grey Primer
4: Sand again
5: Rustoleum Semi-Gloss Black Paint

Chrome Tips can be found at the dealership. I think I paid around $30-$35?

Just forgot to edit it out :shifty . I guess its stupid, its not like having your license plate exposed can do to much. Come and get me stalkers

Looks good. I keep debating whether or not to do the shadowline and blackout grill. I just like both looks so much.

Either way looks great IMO. You can always try it out for a while with the shadowline tape, which is removable if needed.

I like the look of your car a lot! A few questions:

1. Where did you get the euro bumper trim?
2. Where did you get the smoked lenses from?
3. What did you do with the yellow lenses that used to be on the side of the car above the trim? Did you just remove them?
4. What % tint is that?

Thanks!

abrahamsmotorsport.com carries the euro bumper trim as well as the smoked sidemarkers.

Here you go:

1. Euro bumper trim was bought from abrahamsmotorsport.com
2. Smoked Lenses - Front= abrahamsmotorsport - Rear= umnitza.com
3. I purchased smoked ones from abrahamsmotorsport to replace the orange ones
4: Its 35% tint, but I wish I had gone darker. At night it looks great, but in daylight is too light for my taste


Lemme know if you have any other questions
