Should I do this to my car?

well its a thing that people with my car always get clear corners (turn signals) to replace the orange ones.

here is my car now:

here is a car with one of the types of corners I was considering:

and here is another car (not the same color as mine) with a different type I was considering. thing is that this car also has upgraded headlights (angle eye). mine are stock, and so these corners might not go as well with it:

the other thing is that Im having second thoughts about replacing my stock corners. I dotn think they look that bad on my car. this is a cheap mod (like $30) so its not that big of a deal, but I cant really decide if my car would even look better with other ones or not. do you think it would?

do the first one. BUT if you do, you have to do the front and rear indicators at the same time. people who only change one make me furious. their cars also look retarded.

only do the second one if you intend to buy angel eyes as well.

I can probably get clear tails in like a week or 2 after I get the fronts. it takes a lot of looking, but there are decent ones on ebay for cheap cheap cheap.

yes it would. like the convertable pic I have...

sometime (probably this summer) I will get the side skirts and the front and rear bumper painted the body color. maybe get M3 front and rear bumpers, but I doubt it because its like $300 for front M3 bumper (not even OEM) and like porbably atleast $150 for the rear. then I would have to paint them...

Do it!!!! I did the same to my civic! I didn't have to buy new lenses though, just cracked my headlights open and pulled it out.

if you have clear tails you have to have orange bulbs in them. Its illegal to show white light to the rear (exept for reverse lights) my buddy got a ticket for that and if i recall it was pricey. I didnt want one so i read the Canada traffic act, you also need orange light to the front quarter of the car for indicating a turn. stupid gay laws but now you have been warned at least

in the US its legal to have clear markers as long as they are orange bulbs, i know a lot of people that have changed the bulb color and the popo dont seem to care.

clears are for white/silver cars. Blackouts are for ...wait for it ...black cars. Clears on a red car is hardcore gay. Like wearing a tuxedo with jogging pants. fuckin ricer.

wow this isnt even a ricer thing at all. many of the core bmw guys do this. yes, the first example is a little ricer is, (mostly the wheels) but this generally isnt rice, depending on how you do it of corse. i mean they have really shitty clear ones with like crome shit in them that look really ricerish...

honestly man its not worth it, it will make such a tiny difference in the way your car looks that it will only hightlight the other things tha need improvement. such as the ride height, trim and skirts, mirrors, tails, ect. nice e36 though i say leave it stock

humm. I wish new skis cost $30.

and, I would never put anything higher then 18 inchers on my car, no matter how much power it had (because unless I put a completly different engine in it, 20 inchers would be useless)

A turbo could be cool, but I have 170k miles on it so it will peobably be too stressful (maybe not..) and twin trubos on a stock naturally asperated engine?!?! fuck no it would never withstand that unless I did some serous rebuilding and put in cylinder sleeves and all that shit.

My car is too fast for you. It's fast and furious to the X-TREME! You wouldn't believe the furiocity of it! It's fast! It's fierce!

Don't hate on me for buying my own car. At least it will last me long enough to save up for something worth buying and save me shit loads of money on gas (college next year).

^ nice E36 thats funny shit, unless you were referring to the convert. which isn't his, who knows if the e36 came in convert. before 03 but who cares, still funny.

With 175 on a 325 you are going to be spending all you mod money on maintenence, lighting is the last not the first thing that should be done. (unless its free like the civic). And if your doing lighting do the projector mod who cares about the corners if your the only beemer on the road without projects. good luck with that.

I really didnt understand your post. perhaups you are confused. he is talking about his Audi S4 vs the other guys Honda 1.6.

I for one and not into the rice scene by any means, but I think that civic (while it is still a civic...) looks much better with what he did to it..

nevermind he has the civic and he said "nice e36, I thought he was joking referring to an e36 m3, but I guess he thinks it is an e36. (2nd pic?) No where did I say 1.6 ect.... don't worry about it do your lighting mod.

I have an E36. Its that body type/chasis. this includes all 1992-1998 325i, 325ic (convertable), 325is (sport version, its not faster, but it has a better suspension, and better sears), 325ic, 323i, 325ic, 323is, 318i, 318ic, 318is, 328i, 328ic, 328is and of corse M3 and convertable M3!

with the numbers, the first number represents the series, so I have a 3 series. This also means that since it is a 1994, it is an E36 (E36 being a three series from 1990-1994. The second number is [b]roughly[/b] the displacement. with the 325i it is the displacement, but the 323 is not 2.3 leters (I think it is 2.8, but it is a different lo-rev engine made for economy driving, and isnt as fast EXCEPT for its acceleration to 60mph)
