im with jatt im not feelin the hood. the rest is nice. i like the fenders and the rims. you should def paint the caliper tho. from the picture it looks like its turning colors. a painted caliper would def set it off nice

thanx for the comments,
i read a lot of the first gen posts cause my 2 best friends own them...
Lots of people dont like the hood, my gf bought it for me, no way im gonna say no to that if u know what i mean.

I wasnt really looking for attention, just wanted to know what other people thought about my car...happy for u and ur porsche, i want a 911 badly

the problem with 01-03 3 series is that the brake calipers start to rust...bmw refuses to cover it under warranty...but i will def need to paint it!
-ALex


edit- if ur a member of a forum, i see no reason why u cant share ur car with other? ur always welcome to post on the bmw forums- e46fanatics.com

Or you could just hint to your Girlfriend that you want a Big Brake Kit for your next birthday. LOL

I'm feeling the car though. Very unique. Got any better shots?

the fenders and the hood look pretty bad. I'm sure a kid with a civic wouldn't mind picking up those from you to do his 3 series conversion.

the hood is made by hartge...and the fenders by rd sport...i know when most people see a bmw they are expecting a classy looking car. Im trying to go for a very aggressive look to go with my internal engine mods...im not done with the car, i got a long way to go...thanks for the compliments!

With the money you spent on the bimmer, you could've made a civic ridiculously fast and furious

The hood is carbon fiber, and the fenders are carbon-kevlar. The HRE's alone are pimp enough as it is. The body parts, rims and tires, and engine mods im sure cost about half of what any of you paid for your cars and more than i even paid for mine. I dont know why you are hating. And why the hell would he want to do what everyone else is doing to crap ass civics.
I guess jealousy leads to envy.
Beautiful car.

So just because people don't like the hood and fenders they're Haters?
Well I'll drink to that.

I think the problem some are having with the hood and fenders is that they look too "boy racer" or . That's where the Civic comments are comming from. Who care's if they are made from carbon fiber or carbon kevlar, they still look the way they do. To each his own but when you go for aggressive looks you're going to get people who don't like it. I for one would have gone with more of a sleeper look.

If the car came without the fenders, I think it would look decent but it adds to a level of ridiculous that I've never seen before.

no, i think hes trying to say that all the stuff i have is actually functional rather than good looking...which it is...i get really good ventilation and my dyno numbers are little higher than normal with the new parts...how is this the wrong site when im a member of this forum?

Beautiful car. My personal take on the hood is that the latches look like the stick on deer warning whistles. But, you done good though..congrats.

Hood has to go (too ricey). I always liked the 330 coupe as it is but the rims give it a nice look.
