Spoke with my body shop guy today and he said my OEM M-Tech kit (well only front bumper & side skirts) were painted and installed, and I could stop by and take a look if I wanted. He wanted to keep the car another day because he was removing some swirl marks in the car doors, and touching up some paint chips. Things I didn't even ask him to fix.
At first I said, I'll just stop by and pick her up tomorrow or Tuesday. But, after I hung up the phone I couldn't stand the thought of not seeing it. So, I drove over to see her, and honestly I had been regretting spending the money to purchase the M-Tech kit, because I thought the car looked just fine the way it was. But, when I saw it my jaw dropped.
I had no idea, it would be so beautiful, classy, yet agressive too. 
I wish I would have brought my camera with me.
He is going to deliver my OEM bumpers to my house & the M-Tech rear bumper which I still have for sale, gratis. Another bonus, I walked in the door, this is Sunday afternoon, and he was sitting there, talking to a famous professional football player about custom painting his Lincoln Navigator. Just a bonus for me.
I'll post pictures when I pick her up. Anyway, thanks to all you forum members who have made great mod suggestions. Only complaint is how much money I have spent in three months.

congrats man! I take my car to the shop tomorrow to install my Mtech kit! I have had Buyer's remorse since I bought the kit a month ago. I am hoping that this really makes a difference. I am getting the rear bumper done also, even though I like the present one, but I like how the Mtech rear slopes inward instead of outward.
Lets see those pics!

This sounds like a common theme, but I too have had buyer?s remorse for purchasing the upgrades. I'm hoping that installing everything gives me the same enlightenment that you all have received. The wheels and exhaust will arrive on Tuesday, and EuroRev was working out some paint issues on the M-Tech kit. It should be shipped out within the next day or two. Obviously, I can't install the exhaust until the M-Tech kit is installed.

Yeah yeah... you just had to go there. I'll likely do the same on my 535 in early summer.
