Looking to get some opinions on body kits, what is everyones favorite?
i am looking either at M-tech kit or Rieger kit,
possible some kind of combination since i am not a fan of the Rieger sides or rear, so it would be something like Rieger front bumper and M-Tech everything else?
any opinions?
thanks

I wasn't a fan of the Rieger kit either, but after seeing 545ACE's car, that totally changed my mind, if you can do it up right like he did, i would do Rieger
but mtech will go great with any color whatsoever.

I guess I would be a little biased when it comes to body kit opinions. I say do what you think looks good.
But I have to say the Rieger front bumper is pretty low. My front bumper is about 4"-5" off the ground.
My only advice is: "Just because they make it for the car, doesn't mean you should put it on."

M Tech is getting very common............. but I think it still looks the best !

The M-tech front is pretty normal but with the diffuser (I think Hamann), it looks awesome. The drawback is it's too low.The Hamann side skirts looks cool with the Hamann fronts. The m-tech sides is OK as long as you have a dark color car. To me, it's not much of an upgrade from the stock sides but rather a small difference in design.
As for the rear, I like the M5 rear becacuse it's not too square (like the Hamann), and not too "busy." But you have to change your exhaust systems.
I'm staying away from ACS kits because it's a "cover on" or "add-on" design except for the front lip.
