I'm thinking about installing the new M5 look for the front bumper. However, I'm not really feeling the M5 rear bumper and like the more subtle Mtech rear better. What do you guys think?

It will look fine. The M5 style front and MTECH front has minor looks to it. The M5 look front is slightly more aggressive.

PM Joe at Trinity Autosport or Nerwyll at Nerweezy for the bumper

I'm planning to do the same thing. I got the M5 front and am planning on getting Mtech rear because I think the M5 rear is boring with no diffuser.

I have a setup like this, and looks good in my opinion. First of, you will not be able to see both front and rear at the same time. Second, like someone said, there is not to much difference between M5 and Mtech look, Mtech is more square-like though. I also thought about it, and considering i have RPI exhaust , on one side, that was the right decision to go with M-tech rear

Thanks guys! I'll go for that plan. Now I'm wondering if I should go with the body color on the diffuser or matte black
