CATuned made an mtech body kit made of plastic composite. Anyone one think these are worth? For those planning on buying, reviews? Thanks guys

Subscribing to this thread. I'm also on the search for Mt1 body kit. Just found out recently that Mr body kits in Australia does not ship to California.

I've been contemplating buying the MTech2 set, but they only seem to have it for coupes and not convertibles, so I would have to source some side skirts and possibly door pods, so I don't really know if it's worth it.

Igor, owner of CA tuned usually builds high end cars for SEMA every year so you can assume the parts that he offers/produces are of high quality because he know they will be scrutinized by industry professionals at various events. He has also been building custom BMWs and cars since he was a child and is one of the best at it. I would completely trust his products.

I saw some of his Sema builds which helped with his credibility big time.

I am following this as well, I have an OE Mtech II kit, but I was thinking if I ever get a Vert I want to make it MT2 as well and they are really hard to come by now. I dont want a fiberglass one so I am really interested in seeing how these turn out. CA Tuned makes some awesome stuff so I am sure it will look great.

What is the difference between the plastic composite vs the fiberglass ones?

Fiberglass is brittle and usually needs a lot of work to get it to fit to the body lines of the car. It's also usually not easy to repair. The plastic composite is much closer to polypropylene, which is what bumpers are usually made out of from car manufacturers.

This!! Every FRP one I have seen fits like garbage and once it gets a little damage the paint cracks to shit. They just look and fit bad.

Has anyone received this kit yet? I’m seriously considering it given the general feedback of quality of other kits on the market. My only hesitance is that I’ve not seen any evidence of it having been fit to anything and I don’t want to have to be a guinea pig trying to get it done.

Anyone get one yet? Getting closer to ordering one. I'm going to document everything when I get it and try to take videos of installing it/fitment/etc.

Also waiting for someone to install.
Any group buy?

They have sedan and touring as well. Convertible can use coupe, but sideskirts and door pods need modification. I plan to put it on my convertible.
