Unfortunately, I was rear ended tonight. Luckily, both myself and the driver who hit me are uninjured. My car on the other hand will likely need a new rear bumper.

I was wondering if an M-Tech rear bumper would look weird if I do not have M-Tech front and sides? If it matters, my car is pre-LCI. I'm debating whether to stick with the stock bumper or not. I don't like flashiness too much and like the subtle classy look of the stock bumper. Can you guys sway my decision with your opinions and/or pictures in favor of the M-Tech?

Thanks,

M-tech, but get the front at least to match it.

Member tex_phil has the Umnitza M-tech front and
M5-style rear, but stock side skirts.

PM Trinity Autosport for a great price.

Hi

Get the mtech bumper if you can. You'll never be able to see the rear bumper and front at the same time so I don't think it matters.

Go for it... M-tech rears look great and if the purse will stand it go for the front too!

I have to agree with everyone else - when it's on the insurance's dime - UPGRADE!!! THen when the time and funds are right add the front and/or sides. As was mentioned Tex_Phil has the front and rear but stock sides and his car looks hot.
