This is my drift car as it stands. Lowered it, made a custom cage, fitted bucket seats, steering wheel, spoiler, wheels and exhaust, but only colour coded the bumpers and valances. Having trouble on deciding a bodykit etc (or should i say finding). Will take all advice given :D

Most will say get an MTech2 kit, others (including me) would just say iS lip and SE side skirts. But really it's just more you'll need to repair if you get it wrong.

The mesh over the front was a good idea...

edit: I reckon if you sprayed a silver kidney on the mesh you've fitted where it would normally be that would look pretty 8)

leave her be, if you want a after-market bodykitted drift car then do it to a s13/s14/200sx or the likes as it works on jap drift cars, but on an E30, maybe just stick to a Tech2 with some CF splitters..

Also, it doesn't look to be very lowered, and are they 14"s?

Just take that rear spoiler off and call it done!!

Tech 2 will look sweet, but aren't that cheap - especially if you're gonna be replacing bits more often than normal!!!
