Gorgeous in REd! Awesome job on the front end looks perfect! those rims look so sweet but they look too small in 17's need 18/19's to make look full! Or is it just that the car isn't lowered enough? Either way look very sweet, 2 thumbs up!!!

Thumbs up

Sweeet!...someday I will have the budget to modify my ti...went and got married, so now it will have to wait. What are those two silver rods on the front lip spoiler...are they functional or do they move?
I like to see well done mods that compliment the ti's.

they are bright red calipers just cant see them in the pics. as for the 18's with the way the car sits now i can get one finger between the fender and wheel and they rub on the inner plastic walls in hard turns. front of the bumper sits 2 1/2 off the ground . just cant see putting larger wheels on. in person it looks well balanced . thanks for the comments everyone.

Looks awesome!

Even though I'm not a fan of E46 bumper conversions on an E36, it looks good on your ti.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers,
