Anyone out there like the m-kit front and sides but not the rear? Wondering if it looks funny keeping the stock bumper on the back or not, anyone have some pics? I really am not that thrilled with the m-kit back and think the oem back is nice as is.

Post 'em if you got 'em!

You happen to have any profile shots and rear 3/4 shots whee I can see how the lines look? Glad to know I'm not alone, anyway . So I assume it doesn't look goofy or anything. Thanks man!

I personally think the car looks better without the m-tech rear, the lines flow better with the m-tech front, m-tech sides and stock rear

Here's a rear 3/4 angle shot (non-M-tech sides tho),

I don't think it looks funny at all. The reason why you're able to get separate pieces is that if you don't like something, you can mix and match it.

Conceptually, I think the same thing! I just haven't seen it yet so wasn't sure. I'm glad to know I'm not off the mark.

Gotta get new shoes first though, priorities! But before new shoes.. a crib.. a stroller.. a car seat.. and about 10k worth of other assorted baby crap

I'm naming my kid Bimmer, just so I can tell my wife I'm going to go buy something for Bimmer, she can't yell at me for lying .

I had that setup and it was surely better than Mtech rear.

Mtech rear is horrible --> if you will decide for the back, consider also a quad exhaust then get the M5 bumper.
