Default Daily Base -> Daily wannabe Sport

I finally got it done. After 11 years, I have transformed my daily driver Base '95 ti into an almost '95 Sport. I got the Sport sway bars put in a few years after getting the car in '95. 2 years ago I put in the OEM sport srings and Koni SA's. A few months back I was lucky enough to find a M-tech rear bumper in Alpine White that I picked up locally for cheap. This past month I bought a replica M3 front bumper and twisties and had them painted.

I did not like the twisties on the ti. The front/rear visual balance is off with the twisties so, again, luckily, I found someone off of Bf.c who wanted to swap OEM lux skirts for my replica twisties (both Alpine white!). I also picked up a 17mm rear sway bar off a Z3 coupe, which is 1 mm thicker than the sport bar. Should help dial out understeer. My old bar was pretty beat up from the east coast winters.

I love it!. It's put new life into an otherwise mundane looking commuter car. I feel like a I got a new car, almost.

These are before pics, twistie pics, and the next post will have Non-twistie Lux skirts.
