    TechII or IS?

    Forgive the filthy car. It was set for a good wash today but the weather is no good. I'm not sure how I feel about the techII. I'm going to sport it for a while and see hot it grows on me.

    what do you guys think??

      I think the M-Tech II wing looks totally out of place on an E30 unless you've got the rest of the kit to go with it.

      It's just too tall and aggressive without the rest of the M-Tech II styling. My suggestion would be an M-Tech I wing.

        i think the IS looks better with the roof rack. if you decide to remove it though i think the tech 2 would look better

          Much against everyone's taste on this forum, I actually don't like the way the M-Tech II lip looks. Personally I think it's a bit too much like a Zender piece. I say just keep the stock lip, although no lip at all looks nice.

            I feel like it's too much "round" on a "square" car without the pods and fronts and rears.



            Damn everyone beat me while I was typing.

              I'm actually not a fan of it, either. The only time I do like it with the rest of the kit, but even then, it's still too much. The styling of it just doesn't match the rest of the car.

                Definetly IS, the Tech2 looks out of place.

                    Yeah, I'd even trade someone for a tech 1. What do these things go for stateside?

                          yea that looks pretty good too, the tech 2 like mentions looks too kitted or out of place than the iS or even tech 1 without having the rest of the kit.

                            That would be interesting to see, it wouldn't be as tall. Of course I still don't think the curviness of that lip/wing will go with the E30's boxiness. It's worth trying and getting a shot of.

                              Neither on a late model that has nothing else. Just my $.02.
