M tech kit plus painting in ny area

racerman119 · 03-23-2009, 01:31 PM

Hey I am in the market for replacing a rear bumper after the car got rear ended. I also noticed front bumper is messed up from the bottom and would probably need to be replaced so I think I should just get a mtech kit since they look nice and it is being replaced.

I see some on ebay that are like 700 shipped ( front and rear bumper + 2 side skirts) and is the duraflex thing or w.e. Any one have experience with that?

Secondly, I would have to get that all painted so can anyone recommend a place around Nyc that will match it like exactly to oem and around how much I should expect for painting/ install? The paint is arctic metallic. Thanks and sorry for making something so short long..

i'd be careful buying body parts off ebay. Fitment issues are often a problem, and will end up costing you more in the long run.

Ohh wow gonna be a bit more then expected if I order from them because of shipping and then having it painted.
This is what I had in mind from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-3...Q5fAccessories

Any other recommendations for body kits?

that actually seems very legit. they have a 30 day return policy. if the fitment sucks, return it.

i'd go for it i guess.

I was going through some old threads and found some pretty sweet body kits but can't find any of them for sale lol. I was really diggin the one with the quad head lights.
Any idea about painting? Close to 500-600?
