Someone mentioned to me that bumpers of a 4dr (I think) will work on the TI. Has anyone done this? Anyone have any pics?

I believe that the rear bumper is unique to the ti.

What about the rear bumper valance? Can those be swapped from other models? My ti has the M body kit, and the valance seems to be the same width as the one on my '97 M3 sedan. I measured out of curiosity the other day, and they both come in just shy of 50" wide.

If I upgrade the exhaust on my ti to one with twin pipes, I'd rather just install a new valance with a wider opening than have to have the current one cut to make room for the extra pipe.

The rear valence is unique to the ti.
The mounting locations are different.
Many people have successfully cut the trim out to accomodate twin pipes from a 318ti.

But the ideal way to do it is use a 323ti rear valence.
