    With all you have in this car probably time to think about how you have it insured if you haven't done so already. Idiots are out there and typical coverage for an 89 e30 will in no way cover what you've got in it.

      Already chatted to Insurance about it. Hopefully end of next week I can have something figured out.

        Could also prep it and have a painter spray it matte black with some flex agent in there.

          Trying to get random exterior things cleaned up by this Saturday so a friend can shoot the car. So I apologize in advance for the random questions I'll have:

          -What is supposed to go in the center front bumper "knockout"? (The long horizontal slat openings in lower front valence). My car had the lower plastic intact - but nothing in the upper hole.

          -Anyone know where I can find a front bumper towhook hole cover for the bumper? Missing mine and tried ordering from GAP - they called me back and said they're out - and bmw is out.

          -Anything I should know about ordering replacement front/rear emblems for the trunk/hood? Are they always OEM - or should I know anything about knockoffs/printed/etc...

            Gluten or Blunttech for the parts.

              Didn't know about GutenParts - I like that they have their stock levels on the website! Thanks John!

              As I'm looking at the bumper valence inserts - they only show one (which appears to match the one I have currently). Is the top slot supposed to be empty?!?

              Getting my order together for Guten right now - I'm assuming others have purchased from them? Pretty quick order turn-around?

                Top slot should be empty.

                  That's what I was hoping - thanks!

                  Guten order placed... Let's hope it arrives before Saturday!

                    fixed that for you

                    Beautiful car by the way, just keeps getting better. So cool to see it all come together!

                      Darn it! I wish I would've known sooner. I just crushed this car that had them.

                        Been crazy this past week trying to get the car tidied up! Got a foglight, new colormatched roundels, painted some trim and re-did the trunk spoiler, and dyed/painted the rear parcel shelf and rear speakers/grills.

                        Reassemble tonight, hopefully adjust the ride height a pinch, and do a wash/detail before Saturday!

                            Pictures kinda suck - they match damn close in person!

                                I have been wanting some monochrome roundels for a while. Those look great

                                      It's a double edged sword - there's always something to do! ;)

                                      Took a ton of pictures on Saturday early afternoon before the GTG - lots of great shots to come as the week goes on.
