here's some pics over the past couple months with my E34.

when i first got her.

after a bath

i got some new tail lights. it was also snowing.

then i blacked out the grille

and took some more pictures on a nice day

and most recently i picked up some wheels (fronts don't fit until i get some spacers) and the front plate delete panel.

hopefully tomorrow: front lowered on some eibachs. i'll get to the rears next week hopefully.

you got the center caps for the bbs, too?

JesterMX6 · 03-19-2009, 09:08 AM

unfortunately no

i may pick some up off ebay but they're 25 bucks a piece. i paid 150 for the wheels. 4 of the center caps and i've almost paid for the wheels all over again. so we'll see. i'd rather save my money and apply it to a nice complete set of 17x8.5 BBS

I have a similar car. How many miles on yours? check me out in the member's gallery. Funny that your car has a kia badge on it. I would love to hear that story.lol

^He probably bought it from a dealer or someone who bought it from a dealer.

Nice Ride though, I think the rims and lowering it will make it look sweet.

got the car from the Manheim Dealer's Auction in Omaha, Nebraska.

i'm guessing kia did some work on the car...mostly because the rear brake pads were installed backwards, cabin filter door was never reinstalled, strut inserts retainers were never tightened, knock sensors were falling apart, and a variety of things were either installed incorrectly, or just never serviced.

today i installed the front eibach springs

but now, even though i cut them, i'm riding on bump stops up front....so i'm not sure how much more i need to cut...the way it feels i'm afraid if i cut anymore i'll bottom out the shocks. :/

oh. 208k on the clock.
