    Man, the fit on those overfenders is atrocious. Any plans to fix that?

      Yeah, going to be lining them up better here in the next few days, joys of buying used overs, for the price I have zero complaints

        Got some custom rear trailing arm brackets built to kill the gnarly toe out issues I have in the rear from being low with basically no rear camber, just waiting to throw them in till my bushings come in from Condor

          Curious about those trailing arms, on one side my wheel rubs on the inner fender because of the toe, I was not able to correct it when car went for alignment. Will these give you less toe ?

            Yeah, in your case just a standard set of offset rtab would probably get you where you need to be, modified brackets are usually just for being super low with next to no camber

              Got the skirts wrapped as well as the fuel door and the front and rear trim panels that sit under the lights. The quater panel/roof pillar is going to have to wait but the car looks pretty good. I will have a ton of fresh pictures coming as there are a bunch of local shows this week that I should be at

                I like where the car is going. For some reason JDM-esque E36s work for me.

                I gotta ask though - why didn't you just wrap the rear quarters before the overs went on?

                  LOL, I didnt have the wrap when I got the overs. The issue is no getting under the overs, its that from about the taillights to where the A-pillar meets the hood we have to use one piece of wrap, with it being that big its a challenge to get on and I may have shorted myself when I ordered wrap haha. It will get done soon but sadly not in time for the big local show I was aiming for. And yes JDM-esque e36's are usually amazing when they are done right.

                    Look up knifeless tape. It gives you a perfect edge that is nearly impossible to see unless you're right up on it.

                      I had looked into it, I need to figure out how much wrap I could save for the cost of the knifeless tape, great idea though

                        Grabbed a quick shot of the car once the skirts and everything was wrapped
                        [url=https://flic.kr/p/2acQXqU]
                        Swapped out my tall bubble shift knob for something a little more low profile
                        Before:

                        [url=https://flic.kr/p/Lw7cpB]
                        Swapped out the rear brake pads for some new ones as I was having issues with the back of the car getting covered in terrible black dust almost instantly after I washed and dried it. We will see if the new pads fix that issue or not.
                        Edit, grabbed some more pictures on my lunch break today, the smoke made for a cool backdrop

                          Confused the locals, guess having front camber means my car is broken lol

                            You'd be surprised how many people don't understand these things. I have people ask me if my wheels are on backwards, if my tires are the wrong size, etc. My favorite so far was an older gent who was convinced my wheel had fallen off and was just stuck inside my fender. He had never seen a coilover, but understood bags. I had to explain to him that it was low on purpose, and that my -6 was so my tire didn't hit my fender haha. Interesting conversation, that was.

                              Yeah, there were plenty of laughs, between my car and my friends 2017 Golf GTi on air. He has the bags setup on Bluetooth so if anyone got too close to his car he would hit the bags and scare the crap out of them, it was pretty funny
