Yeah I have a lot to do before I worry about aesthetics

Nice man, my car actually came with an iS air dam. I plan on using it until I can find a set of Euro bumpers

There's almost always a set or 2 on mye28.com they range anywhere from about $400-$1000 depending on condition. Euro was my original plan but IMO the is air dam looks just as good for a lot less.

So, sometimes when you are browsing the internet you find things, and sometimes when this so happens that thing just happens to be a slightly rare part that fits your car.






When you see a picture of said thing with a price tag of $100 you usually end up looking like this.







And then you see "I will not ship this" next to it.





So then you pull the "Sorry i can't read" technique and send the owner a PM asking if they are SURE that they won't ship it.


Owner says "Okay i'll ship it for $200"





So after you buy it the seller says it will take him a week to find a box so waiting for that plus shipping time gets you a little impatient.









Until 2 home depot boxes taped together arrive at your door and inside you find:



Yep. It's a 535is air dam. I am probably way more excited about owning one of these things than i should be, but it will make my car look a billion times better so i am super excited.

After failing several times trying to get a test fit, I decided to take the metal bracket off from the inside and then it fit in perfect without all the metal blocking the way, and it is already looking pretty good.





Now i finally have an excuse to get my bumper trim and grills back in. I'm not sure when everything will be painted and on but i'll be sure to keep you guys updated

Is it the thing that you said for me to do but then the guy was like ok?

Yes.

I've got something special coming that should arrive about friday and no it's not coils.

Raise the engine up and get a skiplate, thats what I'll be doing with mine. The M30 pan hangs sooo lowww

Yeah, from what i have heard the m20 doesn't hang quite as low but i'll probably raise it if it's not too hard.

Youll be fine clearance wise. Also that looks like sex bruh. Just needs more low.

This should get you motivated

Yes, very much so

So i made some measurements and in order to get as low as i'd like my oil pan will be about 2.5 inches off the ground, so my question is will my oil pan be in danger?

I'll probably get a red46 skid plate with my coilovers. 140 bucks doesn't sound bad to prevent some headache in the future
