Thanx if you have complimented on them, they were hard to do, i dont recommend doin them.. as for the grill, i personally dont like it either, but stock grill wont go back in, im tryin to modify it to though so well see what i come up with. That cefiro grill thats on there mounts right to the lights so that made it a bit easier but im not leaving it there, its been beatin by the sun and **** its kinda faded.. but uh thanx for the harsh bashing on me doin somethin OTHER than the ****in e36's jeez, tryin to go for the euro look..
As for the 'haters' here, I personally look at it like this: when you post ANYTHING (either deliberately or inadvertantly) on a public forum, you've pretty much opened yourself up to all the criticism/love/hate your feelings can handle. It's the nature of the game, bro - take the good and build on it, take the bad and use it as an incentive to make 'em eat their words.
Food for thought, bro... do the dishes!
(and once again, great job with the projectors!

Its no big deal beleive im not broken appart about what people who dont even know are saying, but just relax. Everyones so quick to hate on sumthin. I am open to suggestions on them, like i said I dont like the grill either.. The corners dont quite meet the lights either which bugs me a lil bit. i have stillen kit on the way and my body guy is thinkin about molding out the corner light entirely and having the body kinda wrap around the light where needed so thats prolly what i will have him do and see how that comes out.. =/ and bye the way im not saying i want all compliments by any means, and i realize there not perfect and i didnt start this thread to begin with.

why in the world do people think just because you dont like something or that you have a different opinion that you are hating (wait I guess it should be hatin' right?...I dont talk slang.)? 
I dont like the look...thats my opinion...just being honest. I am all for being different but if I dont like it then I am not going to do it different or not. It has nothing to do with hating just stating my opinion that I dont like them...and that you should have painted the brackets .
I didnt like the e36 look either because of the gaps but when I found a way around that I did it and now I love how it looks.
I will be finished with my car later this summer and I am sure that there are a lot of people that will not like it...I dont care...I do things for myself not others.
OK end rant.
Now I didnt state it on my other post but I do applaud you for trying something instead of like the million others that will not attempt something because they have no imagination and dont have a step by step guide to doing it...you know like Jeff
since he said they wouldnt work and locked this guys thread. I mean he was only posting ebay stuff (which was in clear violation of the rules)...but Jeff was just hating .

Maxininct, it looks like you did a pretty decent job on the lights. Until you mentioned it, I didn't really notice that there was much of a gap on them so I doubt non-maxima owners would really notice. I'm glad you are trying to do something about that grill too. Don't mind all of the hating, everyone on here has their own opinions and they're not afraid to speak them, besides most people on this board don't know a thing about cars.
BTW: I love your exhaust and I know a number of .org members have talked about doing a dual setup. Did you just pound up the underside of the car to get it to fit on the driver's side? And is that a 300zx exhaust?

No I dont know a thing about cars
since I am one of the main "haters" I assume you are talking about me. . I just know what I like and this is not it. Oh and MT mentioned it reminded him of the S13 Sylvia...I agree and I dont like how the S13 lights look either...now that is the only thing I dont like about the car but still. I will admit the S13 lights have grown on me some and these probably will too but for now I like how the BMW lights look better.Now the important question is...how much of an improvement is the lighting?

There was no pounding out of anthing in the back, i didnt do the exhaust myself i had a custom shop around here do it, they are very good. The piping splits like right before the rear wheels, so no its not a "true" dual exhaust but it sounds good and it flows 50/50. oh yea and somone aksed if it was 300zx exhaust, no its not but that was the look i was goin for, didnt want big pumpkin shooters hangin down lol.. went for more stock lookin.. and as for the question if there was lighting improvements, absolutley, i get high beemed all the damn time actually its getting annoying haha. but yea they are really good upgrade as far as being brighter.

LOL thats pretty good...glad you have a sence of humor about it and not take my not liking the lights or the rusty bracket personal.
Actually my car is 5 different colors not 4 (super white, pearl white, blue, black, grey) and its because I like it that way. I was trying to make it DIFFERENT
...lol sorry that was too easy to pass up. seriously someone needs to buy my spoiler so I can buy more stuff to finish the ugly thing.

but you have to admit that you probably wouldn't want half of the .org members doing any kind of work on your car other than maybe putting gas in it
For that reason, I personally don't care when someone has a different opinion than me on this board and that's all I was trying to say to Maxininct. On the other hand, there are many who know quite a bit about cars, like awsm66, MrGone, Jeff, and many others who don't even post much. And no awsm66, I wasn't talking about you when I said that, it was a general statement without you in mind, you're cool

I was just giving you a hard time...I knew what you meant. Lately there has been a lot of mis-information floating around on this board...so...
but yeah there are only a handfull of people on here I would even let touch my car.

Well im gonna take some pix of the lights with the hood down and **** from some distance. I have to say these pictures of the lights are not very good.. u can see the gaps alot from that pic but from about 10 feet away they look excellent (i think) plus my car got so damn dirty on the way down there in the rain and crap i will take some better ones and show the rest of the car, including the duals when there shinned up.

FYI when people see something like that they're not going to just look at it from 10 ft, they're going to get REAL close...

the truth of the matter is that joe schmo doesnt know that my car has bmw headlights on it until i tell them and dont fool yourself into thinking otherwise. no one besides a true 3rd genner is going to look real close, and no e36 conversion looks great(except for mike and craig because they used the covers). i commend you for dooing something different, youre not a sheep like the rest of us. i am not a huge fan of the grille, but it doesnt look any worse than the uk grille. maybe if it were painted it would be ok, but it may also take away from it.theres not much you can do about gaps. i wouldnt be worrying about the top or bottom as much as the sides by the markers, but my e36's dont line up with the markers either. what i do think was a big no-no was painting the area where you welded the brackets on. mike pointed that out. get some krylon on it and you have a thumbs up from me
