It's a 1,000RWHP vette
No, I think the OEM matches the lines of the 5M Tech better.
Don'tknow about that. Mine was professionally painted and installed. The guys at Umnitza were great. Very helpful on the phone, shipped quick and the products fit very well out of the box according to the body shop who did the work. I am very pleased with them and I am really picky.

Looks nice. I assume you had it professionally painted. I know someone who purchased the M5Tech Kit with the Umnitza's paint option and I believe they hired an Crack addict and gave him a rattle can! They told the buyer to wet sand and buff it... These guys need to be put in jail. Hopefully, he posts up the pics soon, and I am sure he will.

Not sure if you answered or not, but how is the ride on the H&R Race springs? Like you, I'm in Texas and wondering, with all of these heaves and humps in the asphalt highways around here if the ride is bouncy. You didn't mention any new shocks...did you replace those? Nice ride!

It's a tad firmer than the sport springs, but not bouncy at all. Part of the firmness is from going to 19's as well. You have to be really be careful on the street with driveways /easements, because it's a lot lower - a good 1.5", but it looks super clean. It's really a very sporty ride that makes me smile when I push on it. I had a new 535 M-Tech on loan for two weeks and it didn't handle nearly as well. It was faster and has better brakes, but it turns like a boat compared to my 530 - even in sport mode. I would not want one and was glad to get my e60 back.

Great looking ride! WOW... I'm actually looking to do a similar setup but on sport springs to not go down so low. Sorry if I missed it somewhere on the pages, but what shocks are u running?
