Show me some pics of your E34's with smoked indicators! I was thinking about getting some but i dunno what they look like lit up. Also some pics of clear indicators would be cool too. While we're at it, post any pics of your Bimmers with cool exterior light setups like smoked tails or yellow fogs or whatever! Thanks :D

I'll post one with them lit when I take it. For now, just take my word for it that they're plenty bright.

And please excuse the dirt. I'll post a pic of smoked tails when I clean up the car some.

black lamin-x headlights and fogs (not recommended as even remotely practical) Niteshades on turn signals.

Looks pretty cool. I'm trying to decide if it will look good on my color. It's like the light brown or champagne color. Hey eagle, if it's not too much trouble could i see your fogs lit up?

I think this looks better. Just too much black in the front. That's an older pic from my old house. What color is your car?

I think that if you do blacked out tail lights, corners etc... it should not be a black car. I like black cars and all but thats just too much black, lol.

Corners and tails vht'd. heads and fogs are lamin-x'd, working on getting pics to size.

Went with the blue heads and yellow fogs combo, but now I'm thinking I should have went with the smoked/yellow combo. And lowered it, too

Everything but highbeams is useless at night. Highbeams = most crummy sealed beam type lowbeams

I'm going to go with smoked Hellas, and black housing projector lowbeams with clear lamin-x eventually (read when I have $$$).

Abrahams Motorsport (http://www.abrahamsmotorsport.com/e34.htm) Highly recommend all their stuff except the black out grill.

Why not the black out grill?

I bought one thinking it would be a full grill replacement. It's really just an overlay that sticks on with double-stick tape.

For a real replacement, I bought this:

But I reccommend Abrahams for almost anything else.

Cool cool. I need to go back there someday in the near future and just hang out :)

Yep, I-90 and I-91 are great. I use I91 to get to Newfane Vermont to ski and chill out at my cabin :)

Yeah, shoveling snow sucks, especially everyday. But skiing is fun.

They are called Rondell 58's. I know they have them at www.thewheelexchange.com (http://www.thewheelexchange.com) and on ebay as well. Im assuming his are 17", not sure if there staggered or not though.

Yep, those are the wheels I'd like to get. Not too many people have them so I think they would be perfect on my car. Not stock but it looks stock :)

I took out the corners and tails and used VHT NightShades to paint them with 3 coats, then used a strong coat of clear to seal it in. Thx to the info I picked up from this board.

Yes, Fastx525xGuy is right...The Wheel Exchange, they are right in your city in Raleigh :alright . My set is 17", 8.5 all the way around, not staggered.

I think I'm going to do smoked sidemarkers (so they blend in with the dark blue a little better), and clear fronts (so they match headlights) and rears (for some contrast out back) on my Orient Blue 540i in a week or so.

I'll update with pics when I get em.
