Help me choose: Original or Mtech rear bumper

oncyte · 05-09-2008, 08:14 PM

I got rear ended last night and I have a choice of replacing it with a M-tech one. Only problem is...I'm not convinced that it looks better than the non M tech one. Can someone post better pics of the M-tech rear...preferbly on saphire black and a dead-on rear shot?

omg...i wish i got rear ended everyday! if i were you i wont take a second tho. and you can always get the mtech rear first, and trade it with members here if u really dont like it

No question the M-tech rear looks better. Much sportier. You could also go with the aero kit bumper, which also looks better.

dimisa1977 · 05-10-2008, 07:26 AM

M tech, for sure!

Sam Da Man · 05-10-2008, 10:37 AM

dude are u kidding me? of course m Rear.........

oncyte · 05-10-2008, 11:43 AM

Really?? Cause I think the original one looks more aggressive than the Mtech. I actually like the Duke Dynamics one better....but haven't seen one up close for quality and fitment.

M-Tech if you could get a hold of one. Match it with the black CF diffuser and Dimisa tips and you'll be golden

TiAg335i · 05-10-2008, 11:54 AM

TBH I don't think M-tech is that much of an improvement over stock, lets be honest here.

Me too, I like the stock one better.

Andro07 · 05-10-2008, 12:37 PM

M-Tech hands down!

Debo · 05-11-2008, 03:51 AM

I have a close up picture off M-kit in my album.

Ya....but I think I still like the original better....I'm only leaning towards the M-tech because of the option of switching out the difuser if I decide to go quads.

You have 3.5" tips now!? Any pics of them installed??

Kevin@DriveLine · 05-12-2008, 01:54 PM

M-tech rear is the best part of the M kit! Definitely go for the M-tech!

ck the blog...we have some very basic shots up

ducati955 · 05-12-2008, 09:33 PM

i feel the same way.. if anything get the stock cut out nicly and add quads... thats my plan... unless they make an exact replica of the m3 one w/ the voriester diffuser, i love that!
