E30 Mtech 2 Kit

[e30this]

Thanks Genius, but that doesn't help the exact question that was asked. the question was based about feedback on having it on the car. Of course prople talk about it. But have you seen pictures of the kit on a car yet?? If so, please advise.

Sorry for being so hostile. Ive been on this site for years searching. just because i dont have alot of posts doesnt mean that i dont search. Ive done my research and still yet to see someone have this on their car.

Yeah I have seen it on a car.

I helped Franck install it on this car..

The amount of work that we put into installing this kit was insane. I would never put or want anyone to go through the trouble that we did installing this kit and making it look half decent...
I had the kit and after doing his I sold it. Its just not worth it or worth the time or money to install a replica kit, well atleast from Raceonuse. The side skirts dont fit, there is no way around it either. its OEM or just side skirts from the kit because nothing else fits.
well fuck the front and rear dont even fit..

OEM kits are not that hard to find, you just have to be willing to spend the money when they come up. You live in Cali, go find an mtech II vert that's been junked and pull the kit off that, Cali seems to be the graveyard for those cars. Then you just need to search out the sideskirts.

I personally have 2 kits in my possession right now, and I sold a third kit about 2 years ago.

The toughest part is finding door pods that actually have all the mounting hooks, as they are usually torn off on removal from the car because people don't really know that they are there to begin with.

The kit is known to be wavy and have "less than perfect" fit. You'll definitely need a body shop to install it.

Go used OEM and spare yourself the trouble.

See thats the thing. I want the door pods and not concerned with the actual kit. I know i can find the bumpers. Sorry i should have been more specific. Im looking for the pods! Im sorry but for 8 months now. its impossible to find the pods anywhere let alone find a junked mtech in the yards.

Money is not an option and im willing to pay. Just need to find them

extremedimensions.com make good import body kits, they did a really clean 350z about a year back and im sure that they do a tech 2 rep that is pretty good qual.

yeah, the Extreme Dimensions looks very nice, i am not 100% on installation though.

Most fiberglass body kits won't have any brackets inside.... So the body shop would have to fab something to hold them up. Although sometimes this may sounds SCARY it shouldn't be a problem for a body shop who has done fiberglass work. We also sell the mtech 2 body kit with door panels for the e30 2dr & 4dr. The price Retail is $995.00 but R3V price is $886.50 and our kit is made of FRP( Fiberglass Reinforcep Plastic) here in USA.
Please contact us at the shop for any further questions.
Thanks and have a great day,

You're correct re the ebay UK items. I've had the same problem, but I'm holding out hope and some extra cash to get a rear apron shipped.

That is, unless someone here has one FS?

Could you provide photos of the door pods that are included in your kit?
Is fab work needed for this kit?

is the oem mtech2 kit nla? i thought you could still get it.

[e30this]

You can still get some of the parts, but not all of it. But I guess it all depends on where you get the parts and who still might have the parts in stock..
