I do like the style 5s… but they’re played out and make the car looks older, my goal is to make it look newer.

if I do style 5s I have to match the centers, check this out (and yes I will get a M3 bumper):

moreagrun ends up always being the hottest color or the worst color depending on how you mod the car.

thom: I’ve never seen an E36 vert with CSLs…

did you get the ones w. the adjustable spring perch in the rear or no? I sold my fk’s since I’m gonna sell my e36 and get an e36 m3 in summer, but even without suspension my 18’s were pretty close to the quarter because of the low arches

without… about 1-1.5" is all I want in the back… I’ll just adjust the front rake after that.

the irony to your sig is that the E36 really is the next civic in that it’s a very affordable highly modifiable car with just about unlimited choices on what to do.

and my tails are OEM style, but with smoked instead of yellow at the top.

oh i know there is truth to the statement. 🙂 let just hope that there are more tastefully modded ones than ruined ricer specials. its inevitable though. its like good meeting spots. once popular, the asses pile in from everywhere.

The grill for whatever reason, stands out the most to me. Looks ok, but better than stock, I’m not sure. I guess, it’s a cool car to begin with, so it’s hard to really go wrong either way.
