If you want to wait a week and half I can show a picture of my car, I'm going to just go with the m-tech front only. I had some scrapes on my bumper that were bugging me and I don't feel the need to get the sides and rear right now, so I opted to jsut order the front. It should be ready by mid week next week.

Will do. I dunno what color you have, but mine is an oreint blue. Bumper should come in this week and paint should be done either end of this week or beginning of next. Then they'll actually install probably mid week of next week. I'll post some pics once I get it put on. I ordered the front through Euro Rev.
