Flashy Mods and Eye Candy!!

What are some eye catching mods that can be done to an E36 to really grab peoples attention, I meshed out my kidney grill 2 days ago, and people stop be all the time to talk about it. Guess they never really see it around town, i dunno. But all in all, i dont have much money, but i want some mods i can do myself, at home. somethign to keep me from getting bored on te rainy weekend. i just wired some demon eyes 3 days ago and that was a nice project.....any thoughts and ideas welcome

meshed kidney grill won't catch attention, but angel eyes would catch attention, big 18-19 inch wheels does too, lowered BMW does catch attention. the flashy HRE wheels does get my attention...

If you're on a budget, then here are a few things you can consider to make your car more catchy.

None of these mods. should cost you more than $80 a piece.

1. European plate

2. Debadging

3. Custom chrome grills that were on GB on Bimmerforums a while
ago or blacked out front grills.

4. Polarg bulbs

5. Clear corners

There will be a whole lot more things you can do to your car as your budget increases.

Good luck.

Jon

How do you register euro plates so they are legal here?

More than likely he was talking about the FRONT plate, which, as long as your state doesn't require a front plate, is ok. I wouldn't do it though, I think they look retarded, not to mention this IS THE US, NOT EUROPE!!!

euro plates will never be legal in U.S

it's "EURO" plate in U.S ... so it's wrong...

Why not save the money on the exterior mods and think about some performance mods? In my opinion, a slow car that looks catchy isn't as cool as a fast car that isn't as catchy. It's all about the sleepers, baby.

"demon eyes" and all these other gimmic "eye" catcher mods are just a big heap of garbage... you might as well spend the money on some nice champaign. If you want to catch peoples eyes, rip out the back seat, stick a cage in there, some hoosiers, a track pipe, big brakes, 4 degrees of camber on the front, and some group numbers on the car... and then drive it on the track.

"eye catchers" psst... you want eye catching? buy a penthouse, slice it into 100 pages, then have them all clear coated onto your car, thats eye catching.

Dress like a woman.. you'll be plenty eye catching there... that or use common sense and look @ pics of e36s to see what YOU like.. not what all of dtm likes.

I owned a decked out Mustang, and most Mustang owners hate BMW's for one reason: jealousy. They think you need to be rich to own a BMW.. heh
