    M-tech II Syling Question...

    Do you guys think that it would look funny to have a M-tech II Front, with the rest of my car stock? [for a while]? I need a new front bumper, and thought that I'd pull the M-tech trigger on the front, for now. Anyone have this setup on their car(s)?

    Pictures/Feedback appreciated.

    Look at Danny's car. And yes, it looks funny.

      I don't believe Danny has the Bumper, rather the valence. I'm talking the whole deal, no bumper trim, and all.

        The mtech 2 bumper has no black strip of trim so it would not look good with the rest of the car. If you did just the valence it would be like Dannys car which isn't bad but still slightly out of place.

          Well what I'm getting at is, that I will slowly add the rest with time. It'd be like this for maybe a year.

            I would store away the whole kit until it is complete. you really have to have the whole kit with or without the boot spoiler to make the car look gorgeous. little bits and pieces of the kit do not flow well wit the e30 square body until complete

              Oh yeah, and this is how my current bumper cover looks like...so it would be lessening an eye-sore(what you don't see is the shitty primer job I did on parts of it yesterday):

                Wait until you have the whole kit, then install all at once. You'll spend all that time getting the valence and bumper on there, and then you'll see what everyone has said, then you'll spend a bunch of time turning it all back again. I did the same thing when I got my BBS valence, and now refuse to re-install it untill I get the rest of the kit...

                  I ran just an M Tech 2 front spoiler and it looked great.
                  Makes the front look much better, especially if you don't have an iS lip.

                    The thing is though, I hate looking at my car with its faded bumper, and sagging valence as is. I'm not sure how much longer I can stand looking at it.

                      Same setup on my car. Definitely needs skirts at least to complete the look, but yeah, way better than just an i lip or something.

                        Install it. It will take some time before you can complete the kit: 1. rear valence 2.side skirts 3.boot spoiler 4.body cladding. If not you will end-up selling it.

                          just wait and do it propper, it will be more rewrding/better condition that way.
