My Ride: E60 530i
Like the new front end? Took about a total of 2 hours out of the box, prep, paint, clear and install. Took with my iphone but i'll add a better pic later on. before pics are in my pictures page ( i think)
I don't have reflectors in my rear lower bumper, they are blacked out dummy plastics....I went ahead and painted those too. This has to be the easiest paint color to match up.

I'm actually kindda confused!
I don't know much about body kits yet, sorry.
But you don't actually need the whole front bumper to make it look like an M-tech? Can you just get a lip, and it looks like an M-tech??? Because I would much rather do that, it's cheaper!

To the OP:
Great job on the paint, but what is the "WOW" paint job?
