Guys you can install your own M technic at your garage with help of some friends.
there are many people I sold painted kits (some from forums some from other sources)
they installed the painted kits easily at their homes. And never had problems.
only the front bumper takes time, the side skirts are plug and play and so the M rear bumper.

Lets plan for a nice sunny day...whoever has the largest garage works. I am waiting for my M-tech front..from Tony....no rush though. Maybe some BBQ and photoshoot after that. Though I am not an auto tech...only a chef...but many heads are better than one, I guess. The BBQ will be good though!
where are u located.. I am on Rt.22 branchburg

The sides and rear are very easy to put on. It took me about 3 hours. I could do it in half that time doing it again. Yes, you need to cut the inner fenders. I used some tin snips. I would think a professinal body shop could do the whole thing in 1.5 hours.
trimming outer sides of fender inner liners plastic mud covers underneat the front fenders
