Btw, I reallllly dig Kouki'd S14's. One of my buddies was building a Kouki S13 not too long ago. Do you have build thread you could link me to?

Never made a build thread for my car actually. I wouldn't update it often enough. I'll be taking some photos of the car when I get my other wheels fitted hopefully by early august

Shame, definitely should put some pics up when you get the new wheels. What wheels are you getting?

Ughhh, thanks for the spot but I'm looking for either 19's or 20's... I'm starting to think it will be a while before I come across them which may be a good thing because I might be too tempted to buy them before the coils.

Very sick wheels but unfortunately most of the E38 community goes with style 95's.

Haha i feel you man, its no cheap investment. Thanks again for the help.

Update (kinda):

Put in an order for some actual matte black kidney grills last week. Keeping the original ones painted with plastidip required a lot of touch ups from all the bugs hitting the front of the car.

Next ill be throwing these on but I decided not to go for Angle Eye's until after i get my coils

Then I'll be making my selection of coils toward the end of he month. Leaning more towards the FK's if I can find some in stock and not on back order.

Also just picked up a full time job so more updates ahead!

Update:

Got my matte black kidney grills in last Thursday. Put them on in the middle of a thunderstorm which was fun. Keeping the original chrome ones painted matte black with plasti-dip was much too time consuming for such a vulnerable part of the car.

Pics on the car soon to follow.

- Mike.
