Raceonusa Mtech2

[TheEtaUnderdog]

I know I know, there was a thread about this back in January, but I wasn't going to go revive a dead thread. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here has picked up this kit yet? I know a guy on "that other forum" has but I was wondering if people here have guinea pigged it? Doesn't seem like it could be THAT bad.

Go OEM.

[TheEtaUnderdog]

1. OEM requires Mtech 1

2. OEM Mtech 2 would require chopping up the bumpers

3. This costs roughly 800 dollars less

Anyone have this kit? I'm not asking for people who haven't tried this to tell me to go OEM, I'm asking if someone has it and can offer feedback.

I don't mean to sound snappy or anything, I just know there will be a million people who only stick to oem etc, and i just wanna know how this is

Have you pulled your bumpers off to see what is below? on euro cars you can unbolt the original bumper, remove the mounts and you can fit up the bumper shocks for the series II cars. Ive got them on mine.

[TheEtaUnderdog]

yea, but the back bumper requires fitting because of the different size wheel well

Sorry, I know I was quick to drop an OEM on ya. I like the flex look of it...is it ABS?

[TheEtaUnderdog]

lol, no prob on the quick OEM, i would totally do it if i could afford it. as for the ABS plastic ques, nope. Its that new composite fiberglass that can flex and what not. The guy in canada making the reiger replica lips uses a similar material i think

... dont do either

dont do either...

go mtech 1... oem.. haha

mtech 2 oem requires cutting, but at least only the rear bumper.

raceonusa kit I heard and talk to others who install it, said the side pods and the skirts need to be cut so does the front and rear bumper, they dont match up right. Basically, you buy a rough look and take it to a body shop to spend a grand to have them mod it for you. Thats just crazy talk if you ask me. Not only that, I heard the mounting point in the front for foglight etc, thats all in the oem are non existance and you have to self drill the holes to make it work.

Absolutely dont go this route, unless you have a body shop yourself. It is not worth it.

Talked to the guys at race on a couple months ago. They sell two kits depending if your car is 88+ or 87 and older. They said they are sold out and would receive new units next year.
