World First: Project Death Star

This is crazy rad... but what's up with the e36 lights?
They don't look like they fit right...

They're not quite done yet. I'm designing and fabricating a complete adapter bracket, right now they're just held in with a couple little tabs of bent steel. Usable, but definitely not ideal. Only a select few other people have put them on a 9000, so I'm still in the development stages of getting them to line up properly. A non-messed-up hood will help the process a fair amount as well.

ARE's are now for sale guys, need them gone. http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=34546

Drove to Albany to pick up another set of wheels the other day. This is a test fit, but I couldn't put them all the way on because I lost the 10mm deep-well I need to remove the alignment pin on the face of the hub.





Definitely will need spacers to get them sitting how I'd like, et40 is just way too high, the inside of the rim won't clear my strut. Plus, I like to sit wheels just a wee bit more flush xD

I recognize some of those places you shot at. Nice rig - from a fellow Vermonter!

Thanks guys! I've been driving it daily for the past couple months, and I still have no complaints. I've been focusing on trying to freshen up the rest of the car to get myself out of the semi-rat look I have going on now. I've also been on the lookout for a new set of wheels, as I ended up selling the Tuners to a friend, and I'm hoping to have the AREs sold very soon.

Next on the list is to have new top mounts for the rear bags fabricated from aluminum. The 3D printed plastic has held up better than I expected, but I don't really want to risk it during the winter. I'll keep you all posted!

So the car has decided to start eating DI cassettes on a staggeringly frequent basis. I've gone through 5 just this summer. So until I get to the bottom of whatever electrical issue is causing it, Stig made a meme for it:

First somewhat decent picture I've remembered to take after the new hood and grille (sans moustache).

[TeckniX]

Mustache just needs to be actually on the bumper and it'll be perfect.
FIX YOUR DAMN GRILL! I don't get how you can weld/put bag on the cars and can still leave the front grill all crooked like you just backed into.

It looks 1000x better with the new grill and hood. I ***** it before but love it now.


Don't put the mustache or anything stupid like that back.

DUDE the grill is fixed!! lol It's the lights that are still a bit crooked, because my brackets are still under development. Between full-time school, a full-time job, an internship, and managing an auto club on the side though, I haven't been able to do much. Patience

haha thanks man, don't worry, I was not planning on ever putting it back, it was just a whim since that hood was already destined for scrap.
