Been planning my new bumper, side skirts, etc.
I have night vision and am dreading the custom work I think I am in for to make it fit an M5 or Mtech bumper. Anyone with any experience in making this work?

I believe the lower grill has a cutout for the camera. Check the bottom of this page

Cool! I had no idea. So this OEM M bumper is the same as when other Vendors are selling the Mtech or no?

I'm not sure about that, I suggest asking Nerweezy from Trinity Autosport if the replicas have a cutout for it or can fit an OEM grill for your situation.

I screwed up my grill and wanted a new one, called up Nerweezy and he said since I had the M5 replica I was SOL
1. They dont have replacement grills
2. An M5 grill wont fit the replica bumper
So I managed to use my head and do something about it since I didnt want to spend the money to buy a whole new bumper for a grill.
Also, if anyone reading has a damaged bumper that they have no use for with a nice grill to it, I would like to pay for the grill.
Thanks
