        Is it an M-Tech II apron on a stock plastic bumper or is the whole bumper/apron M-Tech II?

              Actually that is a cheaply made, poorly fitted, painted 6 times fiberglass K-nockoff II bumper.

                I've been looking around for a real one and i'm having a hard time finding them. I've only found replicas. :|

                    Jordan is right - chances are, you'll spend more fitting the kit than you will on the kit itself (which runs a grand alone).

                    You can't use an authentic Mtech II kit unless you have a late model, plastic bumpered car, or an 88, and it's expensive to buy an authentic kit. If you have the early style, you can swap the front, so long as you get the late style valance.

                    Bottom line - expensive to do right.

                      I have two complete kits. OEM. Two door coupe. They won't be for sale for awhile, still dealing with customs.

                      Please hold back PM's for a few weeks.

                          Ok. Now I know what the deal is. I'm still tearing apart my car and doing major engine work $$$.

                          The M-tech II will have to wait. Maybe in a few months I'll be ready to find a kit.
