Yeah I used the sponge applicator type trim black and did =P lol It actually looks good up close too if you take your time and tape off all surrounding paint. I have a different bumper that I have to finish prepping and painting to put on=) A non m bumper, but a different style. And idk how I would pick them up...lol I don't wanna drive all the way out there=)

Do you have camber plates for your car? Hows your alignment?
Hopefully the coils will come today. I plan on driving to get those wheels this weekend as well, things are looking good.
On a side note, I drove my car in the slush/snow the other day to see how the E36 would handle it. The car had a suprisingly decent amount of traction. Under full throttle it would slide most of the time, however.... This car really really tends to understeer at times. It sucks, my handbrake doesn't work well enough to compensate for it. I am worried that this winter I am going to be hitting everything from just going straight through corners. I hope the new suspension, and a alignment will fix this.

My 330 was exactly the opposite. I am surprised that you're understeering. What do you have for tires??

BF goodrich Touring T/A's Decent-ish tread on all of them, however I noticed that the fronts have some abnormal wear on the insides.... This car needs an alignment. I will get one as soon as the coils are on.
I had mentioned last week that the car has developed a mystery clunk. Its getting louder I think, its now developed into a serious issue. Anytime I turn my wheel right while moving it makes a clunking/ knocking noise. The noise increases with speed. It reminds me of when I axle boot rips on a FWD car kinda. To me it sounds like its coming from the passenger side, or maybe the middle of the car... I am 99% its up front. I can feel it when it happens. It happens when slightly turning, all the way to full lock to the right. Anyone have any insight?
Also look what came about 10 mins ago.

Sounds to me that you got something loose and hitting the wheel or rotor. Something rotating at the very least.

Agree'd. Looking underneath the car I noticed that the inside of the drivers side wheel has some rubb marks on it, its on the tire, not the wheel. I don't think this is related to the clunking issue...but it could be.
I noticed if you dont turn the car aggresivly the noise is much quieter, and that if the road is bumpy the noise is much worse. I'm confused. I hope its not steering rack related.

Those look pretty nice=P And mine isn't anything special at the moment but here is a recent shot=)
Did you still need that front fender molding piece? I think Blaine has one on his parts car that is in good shape.

^I need both but I'm getting M-Trim so I didn't bother=P lol
And did you pick up the sawblades Jake? I don't have camber plates and the camber on the rear of my car is MADD TITE YO! lol I'll need this amount of camber to fit the wheel options that I'm looking at, but I don't think winter will be friendly with it. If you javen't installed the Rokkors yet, remove the helper springs and for the rears, take the screw adjuster off the base completely aswell as take out the spring pads. This will let the rear sit as low as possible, which is still a little higher than I want.

I didn't install the Rokkors yet. Hopefully this weekend. I did not pick up the Vette wheels either. I'm such a slacker. I want to hit up gibsons in neenah on wednesday to see if I can score some parts to begin my interior overhaul.

They only had two e36's last time I was there. Both 328's. The interiors didn't look to be in too good of condition. There is a beautiful e24 there that me and Justin want to pick up. It is clean as hell, still has plastic on the seats, and is only missing the badges, and the steering wheel is in the black e36....I wanted to test fit the wheel but the splines were different.

I am thinking about getting some people together on thursday for a shoot.

Yeah... If we can all meet up around 4:15 at my place... we could get a few shots off I think before it got too dark.

Last photoshoot we had was at the Big meet and my hood wash crumpled to ish=P lol The only thing I see bad about your car are the one piece lights.
Ricer headlights and tailights, 4x4 stance, its just dirty.
What is this big meet you guys had? Like 10 cars? 20? I enjoy large community get togethers.

Just got back from gibsons, didn't see any E36's there on my quick walk through.
Where are they hiding?
Also, this was my first time driving my car off campus in a few weeks. So its the first time its seen 50+ MPH.... This car shakes bad after 45mph. The wheel shakes, and I can feel it in my seat. No long trips for me until I figure out what it is.
