Nice looking ride!
Do you know, how much to lower an Xi for it to look like yours?

No way, the Mtech sides are so perfectly engineered to take advantage of sunlight or any overhead light source....its amazing. It adds such dimension to the car.

IMHO...The MTech front is a nice standalone upgrade but the sides definitely add to to the whole flow of the car. The rear is not totally necessary unless you want the 'whole' package look.

They are VERY nice skirts! I agree. But - and maybe, again, this is just to my eye - the side skirts and the front and rear bumpers of the m-tech pack just don't look like they came from the same package. Deisgn-wise, the m-tech front is much more minimal than the skirts; skirts add these horizontal surfaces to the sides that are not continued - or even echoed anywhere on the front or rear bumpers. I'd say, the m-tech/M5 skirts - to me - would look nice with, like, an ACS front and rears.

ezslim, +1 on that M5 with stock skirts - I would love to see that too!

Thanks for the compliment. I'm actually on stock suspension with no sports package. It looks lower when I take a picture from a distance.
