As I am sure most of you know, I am one to be different to an extent. So What about front spoilers? I'm ok with the look of the M but like usual everyone does it. I have found one I like (the SR-S) but if you have any suggestions please go ahead and state. SR-S  __________________

I had that same front end and I liked it but the problem wast that it is fiberglass. If you are lowered at all you will regret it. but that was just my experience. I like the look. | | | | | 06-29-2008, 02:39 PM | #3 | | Moderator Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Maryland Posts: 3,220 |

I think it looks gross.. I'm sorry  I've seriously been considering getting a M-Bumper since they've come down so much in price. Yes everyone (on the boards) has them. But that's because it just gives the car so much of a better look (imo). I might have to retire the active bumper soon... Also, the picture shows it as a one piece that extends all the way up to the nose? What's the front diffuser actually look like? __________________

IMHO, no mouldings on the bumper do not flow with having mouldings on the side and rear valence. And it just looks to F&F to me... but hey, to each their own  __________________ 11/97 Base  328Ti

I'm going with an M// bumper eventually. Most Tis prolly have it, but then again how many Tis do you see on an average basis? I mean, I know I don't see them much. The SR-S looks pretty good actually, but I think most aftermarket bumpers make these cars look too ricey!! I like the Rieger Infinity front bumper because it kind of works with the M// design and adds a little to it to make the car look closer to the ground. I think the M// bumper with splitters on the front is close to perfection though  __________________ Kalin /// 95' Alpine Base Ti

I actually like that front bumper, it's your car too, so get what you think looks good | | | | | 06-30-2008, 12:08 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Nashville, TN Posts: 699 |
I just enjoy hearing other's opinions. I don't see many Ti's but because I'm on here alot that's all I ever hear about. I enjoy being different but I don't think it's too ricy. I could have tried to retrofit an R34 Skyline front end on it or something. lol. __________________

I think it looks great on the car in the photo. That being said, your car looks nothing like the car pictured, so I say don't do it! But in the end it's your car, so do what you like. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | | | 06-30-2008, 03:02 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 |
like jesse mentioned, well i interpreted it this way, since your car doesnt look to its potential at the moment you should puase on it. or maybe just buy it now if its cheap and hold it while you source other parts you want and like. put it all together at the same time; thats what i would do.
i like that bumper, especially with the spitters it looks clean, to me at least. so i say go for it. __________________

I will more the likely slowly put everything together. I think I'm gonna go with the SR-S bumper, M-tech rear, and m-tech skirts. the skirts and rear that come with the kit just look gay. __________________

M-Tech skirts, are you talking about twisties? (Or do I just not know about M-tech skirts? (seriously)) __________________

twisties? Never heard them called that. I found a set on Extreme Dimensions that I like how they look...just a flat set. __________________

twisties are the skirts that the M3 come with i believe. they have a lil different look/style than the m-tech ones. __________________
