What are you going to be doing to the rear bumper? For me buying the Mtech rear bumper is out of the question so I was thinking about doing something custom. I know someone modified the bottom part of a reiger coupe bumper to the top part of a ti bumper so that it would bolt on a fit perfectly yet have the rieger look. I have no idea what it looked like since he never posted pictures, but I was thinking about the non-m e36 diffusers which just get mounted on the outside of the regular e36 rear bumper. Perhaps you can cut out the a hole in the rear bumper, and somehow mount it to work, then fiberglass the cracks and voids.... If I can ever pick up an extra rear bumper cover I will be messing around with this.. Let me know what you had in mind? I am still thinking of other ways to do something different.

Cooljess, I think that looks best, since it is so easy and cheap. However my ti is black, so I dont think there is anything I can paint on that would make it look good. I think just cutting the middle out is a little weird, it would show everything underneath too much also. Maybe if you are into the race look you could put in some small vertical diffuser fins or something. Even just doing a dual or quad exhaust like bluebimmer would be cool. Having a mcoupe/roadster exhaust would be enough eye candy, the ugliest bumper would be unnoticeable.

very good point. i was thinking about making a mock up of using a stock diffuser off my buddy's 325is and seeing how i can make it fit on the Ti rear bumper, from there use a m3 one a viola we got a budget bumper
