project.. solid gold

[ToppedOut525i]

so far, my e34's bone stock.. and i've had it for a few months.. gonna get a new exhaust soon so it sounds good but thats for another thread. Right now i just want some style advice.. some exterior or interior styling ideas to make it look good.. and give it some individuality, while still maintaining the tasteful look of the e34.. and ideas? heres some pics to help.. i love my color though :D

[moroza]

Hm...that'd have to be my least favorite color on a car, which kinda prevents my brain from thinking beyond "repaint". Change the wheels to something not too aggressive (like Style 5's)?

[Analog]

Hmmmm. I'd say

1) smoked corners
2) euro tag
3) roof spoiler(I think it'd look good)
4) Most of the time, I don't like style 5's, but on your color I think it would look good.
5) vogtland springs

[Flamewerks]

Same as above, except maybe the roof spoiler (?). I wanna get a short shifter for my car, since that's what I use the most, too.

[HE53]

Put some M-parallels on it. They make that color e34's look great.

[ToppedOut525i]

anybody got a pic of a roof spoiler?? sounds cool now i wanna see

[Analog]

Ebay has them sometimes.

This one is overly expensive, but now you know what they look like.

[ToppedOut525i]

sweet.. what would be a resonable price?.. i like how it looks.. also what color?? should i make it match the paint or do another color that would accent it?

[Analog]

I'd probably have it match. If not, black. I've seen these go for 100$. Just gotta cruise ebay for them.

[ToppedOut525i]

any good sites to buy smoked corners from??

[4500 RPM]

Look dude, lemme put it like this:

You want to spend all that money on a POS roof spoiler and smoked corners? :confused

What about your vinyl interior, crap OBC, and bottlecaps? :confused


GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!!!

First, ditch the bottlecaps.
Second, lower it.
Third, find a junkyard, late Premium pack car and swap F/R seats.

I think the color is unique but feminine. It has potential. I'd think about Style 5s...curious what color centers you should do.

Making friends today, are we?


any good sites to buy smoked corners from??

A site under abraham motorsport or something has them. I can't find the site right now.....

[ToppedOut525i]

wow! someones opinionated!! but thanks for the advice anyhow

[4500 RPM]

So you aren't going to follow the advice?

You really think that a roof spoiler and smoked corners are what it needs?

I'm not here to make friends, just to give my (biased) opinions. :)

BTW: I put that in red to get your attention, not to "scald" you or whatever.

[atl530i]

A drop and some nice 17" rims, euro trim, and I think I'd leave the ambers on the car. Clears would be to drastic for that color.

[ToppedOut525i]

i would follow ur advice and ditch the bottlecaps if i had the money for new wheels.. unfortunately thats not an option right now.. and dont think that just because i ask about something that it means im going to get it.. some people here may have the money to impulse buy like that but i dont... thanks for ur opinion and i respect ur individuality.. but ur statements came across a little insulting.. nothing personal.. but u cant really persuade someone to do what u think by insulting their judgement

Nah, nah, not insulting your judgement, just trying to point you in the right direction.

Think about this:
Roof Spoiler-$300 w/ paint
Clears - $100? No idea.

So that's $400. Now take a look at E39 wheels. Not necessarily sport wheels, just some nice 16"s. Yeah, you'll find some.

I'm saying that a few big mods > lots of small, questionable mods.

Don't start modding a car without a clear goal. It's the reason why I haven't stuck my M-Systems on.

P.S.- I don't have an income either. :cool

[Jcbe34]

I've got some style 19's in pretty good shape with almost brand new yokohamas that I would sell you for $600. The lips could stand to be refinished but they are in good shape

[ToppedOut525i]

but yea i hear ya on that.. the money could certainly be spent elsewhere.. i was doin some research and findin the spoilers and stuff were way overpriced so that's very iffy..when i get the money the bottlecapas are certainly comin off :D the only think that's really for certain is a new exhaust..probably borla but not 100 percent sure. but yea sry bout the mixup.. me and my ride are tight so im kinda sensitive there :D. But atl, im thinkin about some springs to lower it.. any other recommendations besides vogtland??

Now that's a deal!

PM Byzanzical, he's looking for wheels for his new E34T. He's got a WTB thread in the GA section, if you haven't already seen it.

Hell, you wanna do a trade + cash for refinished M-Systems?

[ToppedOut525i]

style 19's? anywhere i can find some pics?

[Jcbe34]

I already did the m-system thing.. Let my staggered set go a while back :(

Mount those bastards

Just put up a feeler FS. :)

I may mount 'em, they're gorgeous. If they sell I'll be knocking on your door for the Style 19s.

definitely not my car

[4500 RPM]

Style 19s are said to be the most expensive OE wheels BMW has ever put on a car.

Or so I've heard...that may just be non-M, no idea. But I could believe it.

[ToppedOut525i]

very sexy car.. im not really diggin the style 19's tho
