Hi guy's,

I currently have an SE and want to put an M-Tech kit on it. However I also have Active Cruise Control with the radar at the front. Will I need a certain M-Tech bumper or will they all be the same whether upi have ACC or not?

Thanks.

Lee.

You will need to specifiy that option when ordering your kit. There is a cut out for that option. Actually it is just a plastic slat that can be changed.

Yep. If your bumper does not come with the correct trim panel, then you can order it from your dealer. $35 I think.

Although, when I got my M-kit originally.... it did not have the cutout, and my active cruise worked fine anyway. Guess it makes sense that radar can penetrate that thin plastic piece.

But I got the correct trim piece. I like the look, too.
