Better pixs will come once I get her cleaned up and looking pretty!
Well I finally had the bumper painted and installed that I purchased during back during April. Over all not a bad fit. The paint job was decent as well, but there are some attention to detail things the need to redo. They also installed the side skirts but the fitment will require them to insert some screws beuase they will not sit flush.
I do have a few questions though...the brake ducts will not fit as many have found out any concern about this? or recommendations. Also I to have the engine splash cover for the under body...who has a good part number for me to try. The bumper was sold to me under the description M-tech, but there was a printed label stating M5... any help is appreciated. Thanks

How about a part number for the under carriage I think is called a splash guard. Does anyone have apart number for it that will fit. I recall a thread several months back with some one posting it along with several other parts because they bought the bumper vs the kit. thanks again.
