Now to lower it...

In my opinion the performance rocker panels are the best way to cut the visual height of the car because they are more deeply sculpted than the stock versions. Combined with a slight lowering it's a great improvement.

Here's mine.

I've considered painting my roof black...not sure how it would look on an SGM car. I know it would look awesome on AW or blue...

Well, if you're not kidding...don't let the door hit ya in the ass!

haha, a e30 convertible for a winter daily is better than sliding into a curb with my 135. I am an e30 guy tried and true, love them. Such simple,fun cars

I've got them on my AW 128 and in my opinion they help strech the car out for a better look.
I have a 128 in LeMans blue and I'm very interested to see what they look like on that
