**TxDarth** · 09-10-2016, 12:45 PM

Not my cup of tea...but I appreciate your creativity.........

**DominicDinan** · 09-10-2016, 12:49 PM

Looks pretty cool.

**Derek13letters** · 09-10-2016, 01:03 PM

I had a lot of people hate on me because I did something on traditional with my rims so you're going to have haters but I think it's cool that you were stepping outside the box and getting inventive. In my opinion it looks likely unfinished but it probably is What man does it have potential to be really really cool... Not saying that it isn't already. Love the creativity. Spirit heart is the purest go it's a twenty-year-old car almost time to let go they're cheap enough we can do whatever the hell you want to them

Sorry about the typos.... I litterally hate my phone.... I think you sort of get what I'm saying.... Lol... I swear to God i can read and write at least at a 5th grade level.... Lol.... But the front view..... Awesome!
I absolutely love the idea of widening out the offenders... If there was a way to make it look more not bolted on and natural it's pure genius but again it's a progress not perfection scenario

Understand the haters - I did this years ago to my '66 coupe and haters began. I liked it so that's all that mattered.

i dig it, weren't you the one with the honda accord front bumper on the silver one? you sig name looks familiar

**kulgan** · 09-10-2016, 11:10 PM

In Australia and New Zealand we had the Holden Torana. Standard it was just a car but it also came from the factory in a road/race version and what you've done is reminiscent of that. I'd always wanted one when I was younger but I'm thinking I almost like your E38 better.

Another pic. Got a roof rack on.

Damn that wing is crazy

**Zedbimmer** · 09-11-2016, 06:51 PM

I love it, I love it a lot. Is there a way to blend the flares into the body? like some bondo or something so the bolts on there and the separation lines don't stand out so much, make it look like it came like that. The E38 looks good due to its clean look, all attachments must look like they are part of the Tuxedo.

same goes for wing, its really nice, but the shape of the e38 makes it look to large/tall. I like everything a lot.

**nicky51** · 09-12-2016, 02:18 PM

Thanks again everybody. To answer some questions. The front is a plastic that comes in a roll. Its 4 inches and like 10 ft. long. Its from home depot and its for flower beds. The reason is its flexible enough to bend a thousand times and not break as for parking curbs or speed bumps. Way better than a 400 carbon fiber lip that eventually you will catch it on something. And it gives the appearance of a lowered car. And yes i had the silver e38 that i had the mugen accord bumper molded to fit. That was years ago and would not even attempt it again. And lastly im going for a rugged look so i dont want to mold in the flares or nothing clean like that. This car is going to get a bit crazier soon. Probably do a small shoot this weekend for more pics.

Hey, can you tell how good is that led bar?
I am thinking of putting same on my winter e38, as I will drive a lot at night.

And where did you get that bar, ebay?

if you go that route, you may want to consider elevating the location of the bar....being low like that will hinder long distance lighting.

even placing two lights behind the kidneys will (should) illuminate better. (I haven't seen a picture of his lightbar in action, but i'm confident that with it that low, it will not light up very well and will probably light up the ground right in front of the car a bit too much. sort of like holding a candle in front of your face and trying to look past it.)

If I may recommend these: http://offroad.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/52231 I have used them in the past.

Way too expensive for winter beater.
I can get from local store, good quality ones for 200e.

completely understandable, but you get the point: higher is better.

would be interesting if someone made a mount for the hood vent/windshield washer nozzle area. a curved light bar would fit nicely.

I might try, as I have nothing to loose with that cracked bumper on 725.

**mooll** · 09-15-2016, 02:55 PM

that trunk spoiler thing...
WTF

a single row bar might fit below the headlights, above the license plate?

Yea, exactly. One way is to take off the side moldings, and bolt through the bumper strenghtner.

**Lamer321** · 09-15-2016, 03:47 PM

that would be awesome. I'm really enjoying this haha

I wouldnt done this on blue one.

But on 725 I dont have nothing to loose.
There is alredy missing driver side molding and bumper is cracked.. and no fogs, and diesel fogs are hard to find.

When I will paint a bumper from 750 parts car, to calypso, then of course I will think something else.

**jp5Touring** · 09-15-2016, 06:38 PM

Outside the box. Like it.

**nicky51** · 09-19-2016, 09:00 PM

Hi again. Getting ready for a show here this weekend. Doing stuff on the car everyday. Let me tell you about the light bar. Where i have it mounted although low it lights up the road like nothing else. I got mine from amazon but some advice. Its my second one because first one got water in it right away. The second one i put clear silicone around every seam and it worked flawlessly. Just a tip. Also mine is 34 inches.
