            He put a stupid amount of time into those bumpers.. And into retro-ing the bumper to fit.

                Bumper looks alright. Should have just spent that time he wasted making that bumper, into sourcing a Euro one.

                his fitment is ridiculous. 11.5 in the rear

                  I'm sure he didn't waste too much time. Shipping cost alone justifies the time to me=) Plus it is unique and subtle. Those rear lips are great. I cringed when I saw they were Rotiform barrels and lips though=( A lot of people have been cracking barrels and lips from them lately. All of them broke with normal driving, and no potholes, in under 2,000 miles of driving=/

                    Shitty. Rotiform is stupid expensive. Their forged line is $1350 per wheel starting.

                        So stupid. I just want a clean ass set of 16 or 17x10" -10 offset wheels.... I don't wanna pay $4K for wheels. My car didn't even cost me that much.

                              Just put some conditioning/cleaner on the BMW's rear seats because they were really faded, to an almost light grey color. They look great, minus the faded leather color, hardly any cracks. But I put some conditioning/cleaner on the seats (really lathered the seats in them) and they are looking great! They are really soft again too! :)

                                          Picking up a rear diff from Zach and Chris this weekend (sawzall fun to be had)

                                          Decided our 60lb street sign I "made" would make an awesome skid plate (gunna double it up on it's self)

                                          And a current state of the E28, (Sitting at the back of my driveway sulking like the broken car she is)
