The stock body of an pre-lci looks good already, but the front body can use some help. How do you think if I just changed the front to an m-tech kit, would it still look good? Would my stock lights fit it still? Just in a mini debate with it.

I'm about to have the same thing done to mine (accident :thumbsdown: ) but when its done, it should look really good. With my 166s wheels should look dope.

I'm still waiting for my euro mirrors to come out the paintshop. Should have them back in a day or 2. It's been a week already, but this is a quality paint shop. I'm in no rush since I haven't bought the rims yet.

it would look something like this, minus the bumper reflectors of the LCI.

I like the rear a lot already.. if I ever go for the m5Tech or MTech.. I'll just do the skirts+front and leave the rear as is.. I know a few people have done this already.

Personally, I would prefer the M sideskirts over stock because I think it would flow with the standard rear that seem to have a "rearskirt". Otherwise, it would look fine.
