Stop posting random shit in here.

My post wrecked your anus already. I don't want to have to do it again...

With the kidneys, they would either need to be angled forward quite a bit like on the e28. I don't like how e30 kidneys are near vertical. That's the only real reason I don't like e30 kidneys.

Glad to see that me just throwing out a random idea actually inspired you. Makes me want to hug you and your car.

…and so it begins. Tomorrow will be Day 1 out of 7 scheduled days to convert the front end.
I'm working with a friend who has a lot of experience with auto body work. We decided that
we will go with the shark nose front end look but I don't see why we would lose the kidney grille?
Please explain in pictures why I should not use a kidney grille I think it looks fine and gives the classic BMW look to the car, I find it be necessary to pull off this look.

The hood will be cut, extended forward and have nice round edges to it, the front fenders will wrap
around where the stock turn signals would be and will have kind of a half moon shape accommodating the trim around the headlights. We will either make a hood clamp relocation or just use pins - haven't decided quite yet. After 7 days of work the car will be fabricated, bondoed up and ready for paint. I'll then take the car on Fort Lewis where there's an oven at an auto body shop I usually go to and we'll paint the front end and simply blend it with the rest of the front end.

I wired in the headlights just so I could drive at night - haven't gone through with any
of the conversion - no grille, hood/fender fabrications or anything, I will when I find time
and know that I can commit myself to following through.

Holy crap.

This thread is DAMN entertaining, I'll give you that.

You drive an old crusty volvo on cut springs, and an ugly square tail 2002 on cut springs. You think the OP's car is bad? I can't take the shoddy work on your cars seriously.

Whoa man cool it. My volvo is probably straighter and more solid than your hyundai. I also just finished a complete suspension rebuild on it with custom rate and hight springs front and rear. As for my bmw yeah its got real shoddy cut springs

No it doesn't.

But please tell me more about my cars shoddy build quality (drives hyundai)

"Calling my car ugly? That's downright ridiculous" this is one of the dumbest things I have ever read. Whether something looks good or not is completely up to the viewer. If you think my square tail is ugly than thats fine because I don't. If I think your hyundai is ugly than thats fine because somehow you don't.

Back to the OP the worst thing about this car is the goofy bolt pattern. Its going to a pain finding any cool wheels for it. Some older peugeot wheels are petty neat and are 4x140. Whats your plans for the front fenders?

Some cool stuff in here http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/...thread/page-37

You buy the "trendy" cars to dickride everyone here on stanceworks. I drive a Hyundai, because it's a hell of a lot more original than buying into the trends around here.

Calling my car ugly? That's downright ridiculous. I'll have you know I stubbed my toe last week while watering my spice garden and I only cried for twenty minutes.

If you have any more problems

Word.
