Yes it'll be a tight fit unless you don't have rear folding seats and you will need to take bumper out of the box. I paid $250 for paint and install. You would probably pay $300-$400 though as I get a hook up but I don't know..

Looks good. Def buying one now. He wants $320 picked up. Not bad. $350 for paint and install makes for a pretty cheap addition and my front bumper needs to be repainted anyway.

Interesting... I wonder how much my local body shop would charge me for this. So parts is 350 and labor about 250 I assume but I will ask first. So for about 600 a M3 bumper...mmhhh very tempting...

Fitment looks like shit, I don't know who's fault it is, body shop or seller but especially the gap between the hood and the bumper is too big.
I know that when you swap m package bumper you have to change cover under the car, the fogs light socket doesn't fit, bumper slides doesn't fit etc. This m3 bumper needs any additional parts in order to pit or it's plug and play ? |

Looking to get a carbon fiber hood, M3 fender, M3 side skirt & M-tech Rear by comming summer. Probably get the carbon hood first. Do you guy recommend paint the carbon fiber hood or leave it as is to make it stand out from the rest of the car? Car color is AW.

Glad I found this thread! I had my finger on the "Order" button for a front bumper that was around $150 more but at the last minute decided to see if I could find a better deal. This thread just saved me some money Everyone's installs look great.
I saw several other versions of this same(?) bumper on eBay -- some of them come with fog light bulbs and some do not. Does this one come with the bulbs? AW is one of the only colors that can pull off unpainted carbon fiber, IMO. I got my hood painted (by a very "reputable" shop, might I add) and they completely screwed it up, so be careful. They sanded the gel coating almost all the way off, and now you can see indentations of the CF weave pattern through the paint. Color-wise it does look much better painted (I have JB, though, which can make the car look like 2 shades of black and a little weird), but up close I am not at all happy with how it looks. Not much can be done to repair it, either, once all that clear coat has been removed & the damage has been done. I guess the moral of the story here is to make absolutely sure that the shop that's painting it has painted CF hoods before and knows what they are doing. I thought mine did, and I was wrong
