Installed Mtech Bumpers with CF Diffuser
So I basically got my car back from the paintshop the other day and decided to take some pics. I Installed the M5/Mtech bumpers with side skirts with a CF diffuser. The paint shop quoted me about $500 to install bumpers with sides and color match paint. I decided to just get the whole car painted so its all the EXACT same color. Didn't want to deal with paint color a shade off here and there. The install of pieces and paint with 4 coats and clear with wet sand and buff only cost $1700. Let me know what you think, I'll post front and sides later with better pics and lighting. Also installed are the Umnitza quad tip exhaust

Where did you get your diffuser and rear bumper? I have the umnitza rear and just ordered a dual diffuser but I am a little uncomfortable not knowing for sure if aftermarket will fit aftermarket... I ordered a set of front splitters to enhance my M5Tech front and this was a horrible fitment. Or more like not even close! Nothing that I could have done would have helped this to improve so I returned them. I ordered the main muffler from Summit Racing yesterday so just waiting on this and the diffuser to arrive! Your car looks nice!

Looks good! I prefer that look over the M5 rear bumper. I'm not sure if it's just the angle of the pics, but it looks like your exhaust sticks out a bit.
I have an OE MTech kit on mine, will this diffuser just snap right in place of the original piece? Did the shop have to do anything extra for it to fit?

too be honest brotha the tips should go in a little bit more and not stick out and the muffler should be raised up a little bit looks like too much gap

Hey Tony, thanks man... I ordered the rear bumper from Umnitza and I actually ordered the diffuser from eBay. Actually my gf did I can ask her which seller she ordered from.
Thanks man... The body shop did tell me it just snapped on, but I'm not sure to what extent what snap on means from their standards. The shop basically quoted $1700 to put on and paint the whole car and if things didn't fit properly where extra work may be needed, they will charge me a few hours here and there. They didn't charge me anymore so I assumed everything went to plan. I didn't ask them any questions because I did t want to give them any ideas.
I got the diffuser from a company that shipped from China. As for the exhause I bought it from a member on the forum. It gives it a little more umph to it the sound to the point where if seems like there is an exhaust. It is a V8 and I didn't take any resonators off, I'm thinking about taking one off this weekend
Yea man I'm not too thrilled with the setup at all. The shop did the best they can do but I think they've could've done a little better. Basically it is prefabbed from Umnitza and there is barely any play in it, I'm actually thinking of selling it and just doing a custom setup
