 Those are actually World Bumpers ^^^ I was looking for a set but they only came on the later model E24's. 

To answer your question though, Yes I have though about it. I thought about painting the entire car..

AND THANKS GUYS!!!!

Have not really touched this car in awhile. Partly because I have been working on other projects, and partly because I have been really busy at work. I did but something simple to install, and the next big purchase will be lowering springs and struts.

Keyless entry. I installed a similar unit on my E30 and its one of the greatest things ever. Plus I really had to squeeze my pockets for the $10.49. 

I have been slowly refinishing the Style 5's I bought for this, and they are about 50% done. barrels are stripped and polished, paint is mixed and waiting, I just need to finish sanding the centers. They should look pretty similar to the theme of these RS's when they are done minus the gold "BBS" logo, the caps I have a chrome:

Real logos are a little under $200 yes. I wont be buying real ones though. LOL

Very Excite. Wheels are almost finished. Faces are painted and lips are brushed. I need to do a final polish but im waiting on the center caps. 

I also finally made a decision and bought some Vogtland lowering springs. Now I just need to order struts. I will update with more pics onces the springs come in!

[YoungCR]

Looking good! How are you gonna finish the barrels?

I think I am just going to sand them out to 1500 and polish them. Then a coat of clear.

Centercap logos showed up. Giggggity.

The gold lettering looks messed up, but I promise its not, just bad images.

I will need to machine a spacer so that they sit flush with the hex head. I did this with my style 19's and it worked out great for example; (left front is spaced out compared to the other 3)

Springs came yesterday. Trying to figure out struts and shocks now.

Barrels are all in various stages of finishing. Progress is good!
