Welp, I'm thru all the hard stuff, and just some minor tweaking and I'll be ready for bodywork/paint! I thought I'd post my install as I'm pretty sure it's the first difinitive start-to-finish how-to on the strawberry face install with minimal monetary expenditure

So for all of you that would like to follow in my footsteps, it's not nearly as hard as some would have you believe (but it's far from bolt on!)

PLEASE sign the guestbook!

how did you end up making the fenders unwavy, close the gap, and sit flush with the hood?

thanks so much for all the compliments guys
It really means a lot when you hear praise from people that you know understand how much hard work went into your project, it definitely re-enforces my love for my car

kr4zy91: why dissapointed? The main reason they're not flush now, is that when I moved (january), I lost a box... that box had a whole crap load of liquids (all types of oil, tranny fluid, brake fluid, etc) AND my wheel spacers :(

wizzfish: I love my RS-E's I just wish they were RS-Evolutions I also wish I knew more about how offsets work before I bought them, but oh well, everything is a learning experience right?

So Mods, can we puts this in the FAQ?
I get random emails a lot asking where the page is, it'd be great if it were in the FAQ to refer to for future people looking to follow suit

how is it that other 240 ppl always tell me they see me around, yet tho only other 240s I see, are the people who don't even know what they're driving? I need to be more observant or something...

anyways, my car sorta looks like butt at the moment, just doing a lil more bodywork and some odds and ends (OEM S15 sidemarkers! Shaved wing!) and I'll be ready for paint.
BMW paint code 181, awww jeah.

yeah there are alot of people around pullman who dont know what they are driving, and i have found an almost perfect condition HB with hicas that someone never drives sitting somewhere in pullman, if they still have it when i graduate i may just go up and offer to buy it from them.
