Hey ch7656,
I know this topic is old, but you stated before that you'd give us info on what body shop painted and installed your M kit. I live in Carson and plan on buying the kit, hopefully from Crevier if they still have it in stock. Can you give me you body shop contact? The $1000 for paint and installation seems like a good price. Let me know Your car looks awesome by the way

I just had my car keyed :\ I would also like the contact info.

I might as well get the m-tech kit installed if my car has to be repainted.

I emailed Vaheh Bashikian a month ago. He's the contact person at Crevier. He recommended Sprectrum Collision in Irvine.

>Joe the best is spectrum collision in Irvine.

>Vaheh Bashikian

>(714) 835-3171 ext. 2275

>Crevier BMW/MINI

>O==00==O


Also, here is his quote for the price:


>Hi Joe, I sell the kit for $1300 plus tax.

>Vaheh Bashikian

>(714) 835-3171 ext. 2275

>Crevier BMW/MINI

>O==00==O


I have to wait to get my M-tech body kit cause I just bought a new truck as a commuter vehicle. Was putting to many miles on my baby from North County, San Diego to Santa Ana. Hope to have mine bought and installed by end of year.

Yes, the kit definitely includes all parts needed. They can of course order the parts separately, but there is an umbrella part number for the whole kit. Other members here have said it includes the fog lights and all other necessary pieces.

What I want to know is how people are getting this whole thing painted and installed (parts included) for under $1800. Even if I got the parts for $1400, I got quoted around $1000 to paint and install...

Ouch. Just asked my dealer how much to have the M aero kit installed...

And the response: $6,077 Australian pesos. Maybe I should have got it when I bought it! :'(
