I never wanted to put m-tech or rep m5 bumper on mine - I have no intention of making my car look like a 550 or an M5. This lip, however, makes the OEM bumper look complete - on a darker car, it will blend in, but will show the CF texture up close... I think it'll look way hotter than an replica bumper you throw on it... but that's just my opinion - there is a reason m-tech is the most popular kit too, ya know...

PS the only thing I've been sort of struggling with is my sides - I like the m-skirts, but they won't line up with this lip - only the rear bumper's lip. And the Hamann skirts I'm not impressed with. and an even bigger issue is - for my AW car - the contrast of CF with white on the front, but none on the sides, which I still haven't figured out how to resolve... but again, on a dark car, you won't have that issue.

I was also considering this mod, seems a much cheaper alternative to the m-tech. Also everyone seems to have an m-tech bumper now time for something different.
I wonder is JBSPEED can get us this piece at a better price?

It won't be that bad, besides this is a good option for you - especially since your car is black. Good luck.

If this is the look you want, then go for it. But if this is just to hold you over until you're ready for M-Tech or other front bumpers, then save your money for the final look. GL
Agreed, that is the only reason why I wouldn't get it (kinda have my heart set on the Lumma Bumper from Trinity with Umnitza sides). Other than that it is a good deal and looks really good on Vlad's car.
