How much would an Mtech be installed with paint you think?
I'd say around $500-600 painted, depending on the quality of the paintjob.

Replica Mtech w/ a legit paint job costed me $500 total installed.

$320 for the bumper
$180 for paint and install

If you want to go OEM M-tech thats a different story. $1200 or something like that for the front bumper alone. There are plenty of vendors that carry the Mtech rep front bumper on here. Mod bargains, modmy3, JGmods, etc. Just make sure you get a bumper constructed of PU, which most vendors have.

I got mine from Mod bargains during the black friday sale... fitment is pretty much 100%, couldnt be happier!

Hope that helps...

I'd recommend the mtech if you plan on getting wild with add-ons (lips, splitters, etc). I have the performance bumper and I love the functionality of it but if you want a lip, you'll have to get it custom made. Someone also mentioned that it removes the fogs and that you'll have to code out the error -- false. Simply and securely tape and tuck it behind your bumper as an alternative.

320 for a front and legit painting for 180 is a steal on both.

Freight shipping is normally about 140 all by itself, painting is normally 400-600 and installation is normally another 100.

You got a HELL of a deal on all that stuff! Wish mine would have been that good of a price.
