    mtech1!! just got it!

    $200 shipping and it took only 2 weeks at most!! So who said it would cost $400 min to ship for about a month????

    Its gonna need new paint and fogs. Plus the side skirts dont fit so they will probably go on ebay ( to get some money out of them).

    Just wanted to let any who is thinkin of buying something big from overseas know its not as bad as ppl say it is!

    Do you have the front valence, front sheet metal valence, side skirts, rear valence, and rear wing?

        You need the euro front metal valence, which sits behind the mtech1 front valence

              the side skirts should fit since your car is a early model, are you sure you had them on the right sides? also, how did you think you were going to mount the mtechI front without a euro valance?

                You DO NOT need the euro valence, but you will need to cut out some of the sheet metal to clear the fog lights - it took me 5 minutes with a dremel and a cut off disk.

                You'll also need to cut out one of the front tow hooks

                    soo i was right! I stuck it up and the only thing in the way was the fogs. Is there any disavantages of doing this other than the fact that it isnt "factory"....

                    I'll check again tomorrow for the Side skirts, i heard they were for 2 door only

                      Nope, and its not visible at all... and if you're worried about keeping it factory I doubt you'd be putting on an mtech 1 to begin with.

                          I also assume the skirts will fit, even with the M-tech 2 sideskirts it's the same for 2dr & 4dr's.

                          Your front will fit as it attaches to the bumper under the trim, but as mentioned it means cutting holes for your foglights and probably fabricating some sort of way to mount them.

                          Great lookin' front end.........enjoy ;)

                            the term factory usually refers to stock as in how it came from the factory :roll:

                              Ya, the skirts should fit since 2 door and 4 door cars are the same length.

                              I want to see some pics of the kit!
