Have you thought about doing red taillights. I think it would look awesome with your new rear bumper. Here's quick photoshop I with red lights.

I enjoyed all the wheels you ever had on your car!

Always gets me guessing which set is next and what mods are going to be done

hookedonfonix - I have considered it before, and it would also fix the fact that one of the red lenses is brighter than the other (due to fishbowl mod). Hmmmm, might have to reconsider, thanks for the PS

Woah woah woah. Confirmed Dennis??

I'm not quite OG but will be test driving a Z4 M Roadster within the next couple of days. Hopefully it sucks / I miss that rotary goodness <3

Don't settle for the standard z4.

tilt - you've been around longer than anyone on this page

that's pretty OG imo.

Haha not down to drill. I keep a hose to siphon water out but the lens is stained from the moisture I believe.

Regular Z4 isn't in the running. I'd love to go M Coupe but someone from the shop next to us already has one, want to be a bit different, thus M Roadster. Besides, top down = win, German S2k. My biggest concern was from a review I saw on youtube, went something like, "The hood stretches out so far; It's like driving a buss while sitting in the second row with the steering wheel right in front of you."

When I think OG, I think Jedi, DeeDubb, BRG, Laz1, etc.

Dude, just rinse the light with bottled water or RO water, let it dry, then absolutely plaster the factory gasket with black RTV. It will never be a problem again.

I'll give it a try but it went for so long in the past, the lens seems stained. If you look at photos of the rear of my car, the passenger side is darker than the driver's side. It's due to my negligence over time, not just filling up with water a couple of times. Anywho, worth a shot

Yeah if it is stained then it probably won't clean up all the way but you woudl be surprised after a few rinses and drying with a blow dryer. At the least it would look a lot better and keep water from filling up in the future

tilt I'm sure you will be fine with that hood length, i know you have that vert fc that has a pretty long hood too.

or if you have ever driven an s13, you know how obnoxiously long and horrible the visibility is on those cars, especially with the pop ups open lol.

I've always thought about starting a build thread but have been too timid in the past to do so.

Ah, that's a tough one!

Top picks would be the F-Zero TE's, Takata CE's, and my current Bazreias. If I could only have one set back I would probably choose the F-Zero TE's.
