Well, I'll throw together a blog/build for my Tibby. Here we go:
Long story short, used to have a 99 WS6, totaled it trying to beat traffic on a left turn. Ended up with a Tiburon after having bad luck trying to procure a last gen Prelude... I know, odd switch. Bimmer's were actually on top of my list as I have always been a fan, except my lack of true knowledge and my folks being stupid, made me think that I wouldn't be able to afford a new nut or bolt on the e36's I was looking at if anything broke... obviously I know that it's a pretty easy car to work on now, but sadly, I didn't then.
The Tibby world is one that seems to be pretty heavily dominated with body kits, usually done right at least, but there are still some pretty wild ones. I knew I didn't want to go that route however I wanted my car to look unique. Probably the reason I wound up liking this place so much. In addition to the badass Bimmers everywhere.
When I arrived home I immediately hit the web looking for whatever parts I thought I could affix to the car to make a perfect amalgamation of automotive goodness.
This was my blank canvas, just a few days after I bought it.
I had decided that the first round of mods I would do to the car would be new KDM badges, and a short antenna, as well as shaving off the Tiburon badges. Also a billet grille was in the works.
Here we see the Tuscani centercap for the wheel.
And this is the emblem that will replace the H on the trunk and hood.
Next we have the emblem on the car, with the Tiburon and GT badges removed.
And finally the top billet grill mounted. It was too dark for pics by the time I got the bottom one on. But pictures down the line will show you how that looks.
I was pretty satisfied with the look of the car thus far, but obviously it needed a little more.
