I know the M5 front is similar to the mtech kit... but will the 3m clear bra that is made for M5 fit the Mtech kit? Could it be retrofitted with a few snips here and there?

I have a great opportunity to get a good deal on RockBlocker for the M5, but I'm just not sure if it'll fit.

I just had a clear bra installed on my Mtech bumper last week. The clear bra kit is different for the m5, than a M aero kit. Although, a reputable shop could probably cut to make it fit-although I wouldnt go that route. The shop I went to offered to hand cut the front bumper portion of my clear bra, although they ended up finding the computer kit.

Where did you get your bra installed and did you also buy it from them?

I had my bra installed at Sticker City in Sherman Oaks. They were reffered to me by a firend. When i got there, they were working on 2 Lambos, so I figured they could work on my car. Turns out they have to redo my hood due to some dirt particles. Im not bad mouthing them...yet. I have an appointment tomorrow morning, and as long as they step up, I will recommend them...lets see what happens.

If you install Clear-bra, how does the detailing products effect it?

No problems detailing the clear bra for me. I lightly wax over the clear bra, and it still looks great, no yellowing or peeling at all.
