Hey everyone! Newbie here..
I plan on doing the M-Tech upgrade sometime this week, however, I'm not entirely sold on the M-Tech rear bumper. I kind of like the way the original looks. Am I alone on this one?
Will it look funny or "OFF" if I decide NOT to do the M-Tech rear bumper? This could potentially save me some $$$ if this is not the case.
Thanks for your help! And any pics of anyone who has this set-up (M-Tech front, M-Tech sides and Original Rear bumper) please post because I would like to see that it still works without the M-Tech rear bumper.

Some members have had put on just the front and sides so you wouldn't be the only one -- the lines work well as well so I guess that's an option.

I didn't like the M-Tech Rear but like the sides which I haven't put on yet.

I was thinking of doing the same, just the front.. and didnt care too much for the rear. For some reason, recently I have began to really like the Mtech rear a lot more..
It would def not look weird if you did just the front bumper.. but for me now I Want the rear too!
