        Dip it? Why? The paint looks to be in perfect shape

            Good start just needs spacing a bit more,i would get the fitment looking right first before having any paint work done just in case you get any rubbing issues....

              needs a new rear bumper (already have) and the doors are dinged and nicked to hell you just can't see it in the pictures but trust me it needs a fair bit of work

              i also share shop space with a couple of people who are involved with a dipping company so it is pretty easy and cheap for me to do it. plus we can mix custom colors so i am not limited to what you can get in a can

              check them out if you are in the midwest area they are the shit! Dipsource

              we are going to roll and pull the fenders when we do the body work but we can always do it again if i end up going really crazy with the wheels. however you can fit an eleven inch wide wheel in the back fairly easily on these. I thought going low was easy on the e36s i have owned but they are nothing compared to these.
