Nice car. I like it alot.It's hard to see the colour with the low quality pictures.
Here's my input. car needs a serious drop...nice and low... paint the wheels all black, and keep the center caps on.

good job

+1 on the drop, car sits waaay too high. The wheels gotta go! Wheels are too small and the tires are too big. Throw those things away and get some 17's with 40 or 45 series tires. Can't tell what color it is from the pics, but I'll take your word on it being LSB. Member "1LoudTi" did his in LSB and it came out great. In fact, that's one of the reasons why I didn't go with LSB, because I didn't want to copy his style since he lives in SoCal also. Besides the color being unrecognizable in the pics, the paint looks kinda dull. It's probably just camera settings, you should try to work on that. Heres a couple links to give people an idea of what a Laguna Seca Blue Ti should look like:

Only the front is dropped right now. I still gotta do the rears, but I don't have time. Was hoping to get it done at the socal meet.
These rims are nice. Been looking for them a while now so....Stop Hatin
People don't appreciate OG basketweaves/bbs super meshes no mo

the color... I mixed myself and sprayed myself. It is a mix between e46 lsb and the RARE e36 m3 acid green:

I don't have a digi cam...All of pics were taken with my camera phone

keep the caps on. i know it's not going to be easy keeping those rims clean, but they really do demand the attention. the tire sidewalls as well.

can you take a pic of your smoked corner (ebay?) in the daylight?

BTW
i don't know if this was a conscious decision, but your sidemarkers are on the wrong sides. the lines are supposed to mimic the corners lamps.

Sorry dude, I wasn't tryin to hate on your rims. Most people do like the basket weaves, but not the 15's. Maybe on a retro e30, but for the e36 we prefer the 17" style 5's or 18" BBS RS's. A larger rim with a smaller sidewall looks much better IMO, but if you like them then that's all that matters.

Why on earth...
Your car has(had) all this potential with tasteful mods like your rear spoiler, roof spoiler, HID's, mirror(diver's side only?), sideskirts, door moldings, front bumper, front lip, clear tails, corners and side markers. And then someone went and threw up on it and stold it's shoes.

Well you asked for our opinions Like I said, your opinion is the only one that really matters.

Ohhh, I see...
Hang in there buddy, we'll get some good pics for you at the meets. And it's cool, you could rip on my car all you want. I appologize for being so negative, it's probably one of those "glass is half empty" sort of things.
