Evolution of a 328IS - United Bimmer Community

Well, I've been modding my car for a solid year now, and I think I'm just about done. Got a few more things to install, cams and an intake manifold, but that's about it. Now where did I begin....

Being a previous 300zx owner...I suppose chrome still had a hold on part of me...in retrospect...what was I thinking *shiver*...

Still, the paint looks pretty clean for a 96!

Months later...threw on some 18'' SSR GT3's. Out with the front and rear bumpers, in with the new! On the performance section, we're only up to intake, exhaust, and chip.

Added a few more goodies...Koni springs and H&R Cup shocks. Lowered 1.5'' in the front, and 1.0'' in the back. Also threw on a deck wing, as well as some new mouldings. Matches much better =)

A lot of my buddies say my car looked best at this phase....I suppose it's a matter of taste...

Up to May of this year...added a few more things...some pretty heavy window tint, painted my mouldings, M3 Mirrors, put a SSK in, threw on some eyebrows (which I later removed).

9 year old paint =)

Finally...current. Installed some short headers, CF hood, a Hamman from lip, new grills, AVIC-N2, and wider sideskirts. I've got an intake manifold and some HID's waiting to be installed...and cams on the way.

Nothing like Family Guy on the road!

i like your car

**Deloriant** · 09-05-2005, 01:18 PM

And some shots of the lip (by request)

Thanks everyone for taking a look...I'd appreciate any feedback! (Unless it involves parking lights, which I go through faster than toiletpaper).

I like the lip. Wow you spent a lot on your car, i'm suprised you would trade in a 300zx? Are you going to go FI anytime?

**Deloriant** · 09-05-2005, 01:45 PM

I didn't trade in my 300zx, it blew. I doubt I'll go FI, too expensive.

Ditch the spoiler and it's perfect.

it looks sick

ever think of getting a ltw spoiler? at least then it will actually be somewhat functional.

**komodo** · 09-05-2005, 02:30 PM

I love your car.

I think the UUC spoiler would balance out the CF hood and look nice, however the existing spoiler looks good as well.

The picture of your AVIC-N2 with your V1 and the cable running around the right side of it looks EXACTLY like my car. haha. I'm thinking of mounting the n2 in my rear brake light and installing a stealth one. Maybe you should look into that as well. It makes the interior much cleaner without it there.

Dude your car looks sweet, I love the look, the only thing I dont really like is the CF hood, I like a painted hood better. I like the painted molding and I think it really makes the car look good, now I kind of want to get rid of or paint mine. Keep up the good work.

**94bmw325i** · 09-05-2005, 04:35 PM

wow it blew, that sucks...

**TJsBimm** · 09-05-2005, 04:40 PM

Sweet man, nice job looks sick!

**EuroStyle** · 09-05-2005, 04:41 PM

I love your car, except for the Hamann black out grill. I think you need to replace it w/ the chrome grill to accent the lip on your rims. Aside from that, 10 out of 10.
