Kid325i just got a bunch of work done. Anyone care to comment?

[WALSRU]

The only thing I would change is the eyebrows. Actually just taking the pieces off of the corners would make more sense. The main headlight pieces flow well enough with the hood, but the sides just stick out too much.
Other than that I really like all of it. I painted my lip but yours works in carbon.

I know, the guy who did my work calls me up, and is all like, "blah blah blah, oh by the way, I had to cut the eyebrows, otherwise you wouldn't be able to change your corner bulbs. So I cut them."
I was pissed. Oh well.

So i left them, even though I was pissed. The drivers side one is not properly adhered, so that is why it appears to be sticking out more than it should. Im getting an HID kit soon, so will take care of that during the install. The passenger side one is just poorly cut. They aren't too noticeable unless you're looking up close. Im debating possibly buying a new set, when I get my HIDs and leaving them uncut, w/ the drawback being I couldnt change my corner bulbs. Fuck it. worry about that in a few years. Im not sure if i want to just have the headlights trimmed, but that sounds like something to look into maybe, instead of dropping $ for another pair.

Also thinking about changing the slottedd grille/lower valance, and putting some M3 kit style black mesh. What do you guys think? That and some 6000Hids?

you may want to aquire some properly sized tires those things are streeeeeeeetched on there....looks rather tacky

in some pics it just looks like it was in an accident and you slapped a hood from a black E36 on hah only really looks cool up close when you can see the grain

ohh and x2 on eyebrow delete mod

otherwise looks good. though, what i really care about is....what does it have performance wise?

Edit: wait wait wait...you are running REPLICA HM2's and bashing a guy with real BBS's?

[WALSRU]

My main point is that the corner brows don't match the car's lines. The main headlights are in line with the CF hood, but the corners look goofy against regular paint. Rip off that section and see what I mean.

+1 on the tire size

If, the rims are 18x8J at the front and 18x8.5 at the back, you want: -

225/40/R18 tires at the front
255/35/R18 tires at the back

Thanks for the input. I definitely see your point, and I think ill look into that this weekend. Question though, you think that if they weren't cut, and one piece they would look better? Or in your opinion is having the brow trim on the corner completely unneccessary?

Preciate the input.

[WALSRU]

The brow trim is unneccessary, usually is.

My ol 92, made these out of vinyl and handcut

[samsonsbeam]

looks smooth, definitely leave the carbon fiber as is.

BTW: love how you can dish it out but walk RIGHT past my comments LOL

I think my wheels are way nicer than those BBS's. Thats just me.

Performance wise not too much unfortunately. Intake, Rogue Engineering exhaust, and a chip, all through ECIS. Not much suspension stuff either, just an eibach sway kit. Looking into headers soon, and down the road, maybe playing around with the 350 swap.

That looks really nice and clean. That lip is painted cf?

Whatd you do for the lower valance/ grille? Did you pretty much change out the entire bumper? It looks really nice.

so you think a set of made in darfur replica wheels are better than a set of Genuine BBS wheels? are you kidding me?

and 350 as in SBC?

next thread over with the blue e36 with bbs's

[Red_Rocket]

I think you should black out the silver on your grill, that will make the carbon flow better....

Im not really feeling the lip, the only bumper that actually looks good on E36s is the M3 Bumper... but that is only my opinion

Like everyone else has said, lose the eyelids on the corners, but keep them on the headlights....

Oh and look into a good spring and shock kit
