Had the Mtech style front and sides installed and painted this week. Here are the pics. Everything turned out fairly well.
Also finally finished the RD Sport spoiler install which has been a marathon from the topic/post below:
First Mod Arrived!!, too bad it will have to wait
Thanks to Trinity Autosport for the great service and shipping!
Wheels next?

mtech style? Or do you mean M5 style bumper?

Yes it is the "M5 Style"..the reason I say fairly well is that there are a few things that aren't perfect but thats certainly to be expected with aftermarket products and paint other than factory. Ultimately I think it looks good!

how is the fit of the bumper and sides?
Sides aren't perfect but certainly not poor, of course I've never inspected the OEM Mtech sides up close so I may just be nitpicking a bit.
No issues at all with the install.
