woah... I'm really not sure how I feel about the widebody kit in general, but personal taste aside that is an awesome car and is definitely a one of a kind ti (though there isn't much "ti" left in her, hehe). Wish there were more pics of the engine and some specs.

A while back... don't remember how long ago, there was a member here who was working on some custom body kit... anyone know what happened with that? (sorry for vague reference... lol -- off to do some research)

Its too recent to be the one I was thinking of, but might be the same project considering it took 2 years to do.

I think they did a great job overall, but it's not my cup of tea. The front bumper looks out of place and the E30 wide body doesn't seem to mesh well on a ti. I also don't like the side exhaust. The engine is awesome though. I think its weird that you fill up the fuel tank through the roundel on the rear trunk lid. A lot of money was put into this car.

I like the engine ,side exhaust, rear ground effects, and I kinda like the wide body. I do think its pretty close to ricey but its got some pretty nice things about it.

I know my input is completely layman, but, I think that the super-wide body harks back to those BMW racers from the 70's. I have no idea if that was the intention. In art, sometimes inspiration has a flow, so, maybe that car's design shares a few sparks from the widebody coupes of yore. Either way, it's ballsy and unique, and I bet the driver loves the crap outta it. Love the widebody. LOVE. Though... now... it's been done... *sniff*
