I saw one of the ad's for a Hartge M5 rear diffuser Rep, and I do like the look, but I dont know if that'll match / look right with my Hamann front rep splitter, and my Vorsteiner spoiler.
What do you guys think of adding multiple parts that are not the same style / company?
The main reason why I chose the Vorsteiner is because I love the look for a spoiler the best, but they didn't have any front splitters for Mtech kits.
This is what the Hartge rear diffuser looks like.

Now when it comes to performance parts... whole different story... parts that aren't designed to work together can cause lots of headaches...been there done that...
Awesome color on that M5 by the way... love it

I don't have a problem mixing and matching body parts, spoilers etc... As long as everything fits properly. That's part of the fun designing your own car. I want get the Mtech nose and side skirts but like the standard rear bumper. The taper of the exhaust cut out works perfectly with the staggered tips of my Dinan exhaust.

Go ahead and mix things up. Show some individuality. I myself like the MTech side skirts and rear bumper but prefer the ACS front spoiler and deck spoiler. I like the LCI headlights and shifter but not the taillights or steering wheel.

Thanks for the advice. As for the M5, that's not mine. I wish I had an M5, and in that color too. =)
I wasn't sure of it was yours or not but holy moly batman that thing looks good...
