That reminds me of my car when I got it . . . except I still don't have clear tails .
Looks good, get some headlights, figure out what bumper you like best, get the paint matched, tint, just the usual. Shahid will tell you to get a Falken banner, don't listen to him. I'll let you know if anything else strikes me. You can look at my car too if you need ideas .

looking pretty good... looks like youve already done a little bit to it already how much? also my first visual mod i would do is color match the bumpers and sideskirts unless you are looking to upgrade them... got an exhaust yet? that will make it perform and sound like a beast also...
Im planning on getting your front lip, a rear deck spoiler, and all 4 fenders rolled to tuck my 16X8.5 borbets on it...what performance bolt ons would you guys recommend...

saltshaker...i plan on paintmatching..i have AFE power flow intake...Dinan Chip(in the mail)...96 M3 Catback system
Nice, that means I'll have a twin .
Further bolt ons could be strut braces, x-brace, swaybars, rotors/pads, those are the most common ones left.

wow your on top of things... umm really just suspension and breaks are left as far as bolt on... x brace is always an easy bolt on cept nutserts and fuck me... youll love sway bars... its incredible how much difference they make... strut bars are mostly for show ive found... and rotors/pads... they always make a big difference... maybe springs, and struts (depends on how many miles you have on your car for the struts...)
Well it looks like you all suggested suspension components but if you cant tell its allready lowered about an inch...I have the Bilstein PSS Coilover kit on it with bavarian adjustable camber mounts(on the front)..as far as mileage...It had 86000 when i bought it for $6200 roughly a year ago...and has around 103000 on it now...color is sterling silber...i plan on doing sway bars and strut bars...by performance i meant under the hood..i guess i coulda been clearer on that sry..
and my 16 inch wheels...had them on the car before i put the suspension on and they rubbed in back and in front...i couldnt keep them on because the 4-wheel alignment would have made the fender sit right on top of the tire do to the offset of the wheels...basically there is too much offset on the wheels...not sure exactly what the offset is on them. Do you guys have a good way of measuring that? But i think if i get all four fenders rolled and some new lower profile tires on the wheels they should tuck under the car nice and neat
Well at least we know you won't need wheel spacers

wat tires were u running on them...either that or ur car is too low lol
The tires are to big...definately need lower profile...and i plan on lowering it a little more once i can get the wheels on it...i have spacers in it right now with my stock wheels and still barely have any tire clearance from the spring
Walsru where did you find your eyelids? And also did you purchase your lip off of ebay?
The lip is indeed from e-bay. Let me warn you it needed an insane amount of sanding and I had to hack up the bumper to get it to wrap around. Not to mention if you bump something and it flexes the lip, it will break your foglight brackets. Other than that I love it . Also the eyebrows are handcut from silver vinyl, I wasn't too fond of the designs out there so I improvised.
Keep in mind the cup style lip spoiler is quite nice as well.
