Also who is the maker of your exhaust? | | | 03-27-2008, 06:07 PM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 1,305 | nice! i don't know that i've ever seen an oval tip with a dtm bend in it | | | 03-27-2008, 06:24 PM | #7 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Twin Cities Posts: 46 | Another, old E21 I had for a bit... Ti - Yes, it sits pretty low but I love the stance. This was kind of built on a budget, but still quality parts...too many projects at the moment. I do have an X-brace, forgot to list it...some other things.. E.I.P. is a company that went out of business - I think? They primarily make German aftermarket part. My brother has some friends in Germany that he picked up some parts for me while visiting - the oval tip gets lots of comments...comments, not compliments. haha - whatever. I like it. I'll try to get some front shots up soon...the front actually looks pretty clean. I know most ppl go w/ the M-Bumper, and I do like that look, but just shooting for something al little different.

The Ti looks good, but it is to low for my tastes, and I've never been a fan of DTM tips. | | | 03-27-2008, 07:15 PM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | Very nice ti __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 03-27-2008, 07:39 PM | #12 | Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Twin Cities Posts: 46 | Thanks guys...
