i'm more concerned about the strut tower where the actual struts bolt up as it bears load and stresses. make sure all 3 strut bolts point straight up and not away from eachother

Sry the forum didn't load before last post, the last pic is the one on the other side and is covered. There is a part of the front bumper that is scraped but I thought it was from a fender bender from the guy drifting into a parked car. Idk it looks like its supposed to be there but idk. It drives straight

325ci_c150 · 03-04-2013, 06:29 PM

Everything looks normal the bolts all seem to point up, so i think im fine and i dont think the well is bent if you look at this one they look identical

Gotta have some place for a beer or two when detailing under the hood - right?

Very nice conversion, I have the same conversion (of course not as nice as yours) but mainly for storage of some car detail stuffs only. Per your picture you still have plenty space inside that box for an electric portable wine cooler so I suggest you install one since you seem to enjoy wine either on the go or when working on the car.

Yes, it looks like a beer.

I hate how these threads go from one person asking one simple question, to others asking completely off-topic questions.

I'd say get an AFE Intake, you'll be happy with it.
