I bought a couple small things for the car right after I bought it, never really can get any great pics so I ended up having a buddy snap some before it got dark out. The car is winterized, totally dirty sitting on E36 M3 wheels (Contour IIs) which I’ve been using for tooling around in snow tires. Also threw on some Umnitza Angel Eyes, Orion V2s. Also I got the car tinted 20 percent, hardwired a V1 and got rid of the orange reflectors in exchange for some paint-matched ones. Next my LED taillights should come in (03.5+ has LED tails stock) and a BMC drop-in filter. The photos for some reason make the angel eyes kinda washed out looking, but they are pretty hot in “real life” - the LEDs have a really mean look and they are BRIGHT.
so yeah, cliffs, check out my dirty car with angel eyes.

Yeah I was a little worried but it worked out no problem…I forgot to put on the wheel spacers (long day, don’t ask!) so it looks pretty pathetic sitting in the rear, but whatever, as soon as I go back to CT these will probably come off…or at least pretty soon.
