            Very nice. Is the M-Tech kit original?

              that mtech1 looks great. should look even better with suspension and wheels.

                Looks like you need to get a buffer with some compound on that baby to shine up that zinno.

                    I thought factory installed Mtech I kits came with the "M" badge on the grill? I think it's original. Am I wrong?

                      You don't know what your talking about. Calgary and Edmonton both don't use salt to melt the ice here. Rust is not an issue and he doesn't drive it in the winter anyways.

                      Nice pics Dillon, I'm surprised you brough her out already!

                      And Mtech1 cars did have the ///M badge from the factory I believe. Nothing wrong with it, its a mtech car, its no M3 badge or anything.

                        yeah, edmonton and calgary both use sand to keep the sliding to a minimum, works better than salt but looks like sh*t around town this time of year. yeah Mike, I pulled her out to clean her up a bit and to give me some inspiration lol, pics are up in my toolbox at work :p. Yes the ///M badge is stock, although I may be taking off the NA grilles and replaced with euro, also now that I've upgraded the headlights to US ellips, I think i may spend the extra money and try to pick up some euro ellips as it would complete the exterior for euro parts. heh, YAN-3, I told you my car was an mtech1, you didnt believe me?

                        I'll take some pics of the interior this weekend after its all cleaned up, just have to vacuum her out a bit, also my obc is out as it is broken (ill throw it in for pics) and my center gauges are out for molding the gauges, it helps to have a brother in the stereo fabrication business :D.
