    Bumpers for my 325ic

    Im looking to change my front and rear bumpers. I have found some information for the rear bumper howerer none for the front. My bigest question is do i need to buy a later model valance for the front before replacing my front bumper?

        For an ic you do NOT have to trim the rear bumpers like Jordan did. You do need to shim under the shocks to keep from having an unsightly gap.

            The M-Tech II will cost you around 1500 used if you can find a genuine one for a cabrio. The AV3 will cost you that much in labor to try and get it to fit right and it will still be a fiberglass piece of crap.

            If cost is an issue, you are better off doing the bumper/valance swap.

              I will go for the M Tech II.......I rather have the nicer of the two.
              The only thing is im in Texarkana....i have to drive over an hour to get any real work done my engine, now what is the likely hood of me finding a place where in get a M Tech near me.
