You sure that wasn't someone's parts car?
Have seen th 02 and the sienna is a 2800cs I think. Guy flushed out the front turns too. Not sure I like it with the trim delete. I like the modernness of it given what I suspect was the concept of his build but seems to loose part of the iconic nature of the design. Interesting and like see see different concepts.
Lol....seen it done a few times on 02's...sometimes it works and sometimes not...
Yes thanks love that pic...don't like the blacked out "shadow line"...aka belt line trim.
Do you think those are 15's on there?
I bet it would look great on an Impala...

The partially de-chromed brown coupe http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/revolution-no-e9-cole-fosters-bmw-2800cs
belongs to Cole Foster, the son of the legendary funny car racer & builder Pat Foster. The removed moldings are actually body side moldings but our coupes also have belt line moldings, they are the moldings at the bottom of the windows. Search “belt moldings” and also “body side moldings” on Google if you might doubt me

Kinda like it!
It makes the E9 look popular enough to have a "kit car" made in it's image. Doesn't look bad, just weird.

kind of like the 944 / e30 m3 fenders. looks better than i would have expected. i remember seeing a few 2002's with this style of fender.
Don't care for the Boy Racer wheels and mirrors.
Don't like that check this out....
Was on German eBay. Looks like an e30 m3 sexed an e9 .....and had an ugly kid...

I think we've seen this one but you're right, not my cup of tea. Why mess with such an elegant design?
With you there...brother
