Cool e92 (Coupe) M-Tech Replica Kit Available But...

ive never heard of the company before. anyone know if it a reputable company in other forums like jap tuner, etc? pictures are below. the prices all are overpriced compared to oem except the rear and front bumper which is the biggest of interest . The kit is made of fiberglass material which im not sure is a good thing or bad thing either.

still waiting for ******'s final front bumper as well which i have high hopes for.

Front Bumper: $359
Rear Bumper:$359
Side Skirts: $359

vis has been around for a long time. i have never had anything made by them but you may want to check on a honda forum or something and see how the fitment is on their other products.

I can damn near guarantee you that for $359 - you don't get all the rest of the crap you need when ordering the Mtech front bumper.

dont do it! nothing fits as well as OEM. you'll most likely only get the cover for $359, not the rest of the pieces required to mount it.

yeah, fiberglass is not good. Thats why its cheap, itll crack easily.

save up, get OEM. it really is worth the money or you can try to shop around for some used bits.

just look at all the beat-up rice grinders roaming the streets. if you see one that looks completely ghetto, i can pretty much guarantee it has a fiberglass body kit that fits like ass and flaps in the wind....

+1 After DD, I wouldn't think you'd fall for something like this. Fiberglass FTL. Even if by some miracle you get it to fit, as soon as you hit it, game over. Save up for the real thing.

Yeah this company is close to where I live and has been around. But who knows???? Fiberglass is terrible....I scratched my OEM bumper because im mad low...and its intact. If that woulda been FG, forget it....the part where the OEM mtech splitters go would be gone!

It won't fit well at all. Avoid at all costs.

I believe the site even states that modification and adjustement is required to get this to look OEM. Plus, fiberglass is the worst material to use for body panels.

At least the people selling them are honest. :P
