In my rear diffuser search I've been thinking about a M5 rear. I was looking on Jlevisw.com, just wondering if anyone has purchased the M5 kit from there? Why is it so cheap? Made from 7 layers of fiberglass.. is that bad? front, rear and side skirts all for under $1000. Seems far to cheap to be of good quality. I think that if I go with it I'll buy from a dealer.

You need to get all the hardware to install it from the dealer. Not sure how expensive all of that is but that might be why it is cheaper.

I dont think fiberglass can take small fender benders or nudges in the parking lot.. It should be made of the same stuff the stock bumpers are made of..

Most fiberglass kits are prone to cracking if you bump anything.
