M kit installation

e90fanatic · 12-08-2009, 01:14 PM

does anybody know a body shop that they could recommend for M-tech kit installation and paint? I don't want to go to NYC at all so only NJ or maybe even Upstate NY/palisades

bklynbimmer · 12-08-2009, 01:21 PM

In my old e46 the guys at JMK body shop really hooked me up on the m-tech install. I am not sure if the guy who ran the shop is still there....but worth a call his name is Tommy.

Tommy moved to Wisconsin, and if you ask him who to use, he will send you to me.

Alex from SP will hook you up...Kinda far from palisades but hes a pro

JaysBlueE92 · 12-08-2009, 02:50 PM

Talk to Ken over at JMK and tell him Jay with the Monaco e92 sent you..that should give you some wiggle room under $1500 for sure

its pretty easy to install the kit~ but you have to find a shop to paint it..

If they chare $1500 for painting the entire kit (front bumper, rear bumper, sides), its actually not that bad, as the paint alone would probably be around 900-1200?)

hl0m4n · 12-08-2009, 05:24 PM

paint is $300 for front & rear bumper and $200 for sides totaling to $800. add tax and it is $864. the entire kit should cost you about $900 less then $950 at the max of $1,000.

for installs e90post installers are by far the best. either alex will work

. install should be $150-$200 max front bumper, $100-$150 rear bumper, and like $50-75 for side skirts totaling to about $350 less then $400 for sure.

so if jmk wants $1,500 installed it is actually not a bad deal

. about $200 to max $300 difference from going to jmk compared to the other route which you can use for the ss

In all fairness. MAC is not in NYC

Where in jersey are you? It might be worth the trip to MAC, in quality of work and price.
I'd at least wait to see the pics of the work they turn out with my car and contact them for an estimate.

fizzle · 12-09-2009, 09:48 AM

kelvin werent you selling your car? and then i thought you moved to CA? now your back? go to MAC, and thats not NYC. i would go to JMK tho if you dont want to drive to MAC.

PNF · 12-09-2009, 09:51 AM

$300 for front AND rear bumper paint?? THats CHEAP.. it cost me $250 for rear bumper only (and this is through some guy I know)...

Most places want $350-400 just for the rear bumper and probably $600-650 for BOTH...

Let me know where I can get front/rear bumper painted for $300.. I really want to get my front bumper painted.. (rock chips and all)..PM me details?

Thanks!!

hl0m4n · 12-09-2009, 09:55 AM

sorry for the confusion bro, it is $300 for front and $300 for rear and $200 for sides totaling to $800 as mentioned above

. $300+$200= $500

that's pretty worth it if you're talking about the entire kit. if it's just a single bumper, that's a rip IMO.

yea well things changed to say least...as usual, e90post members lowballed me on the car so i didnt sell it. i'll keep it until i get a s4 or rs4 sometime soon i guess. MAC is in LI, thats NYC territory in my terms because I have to go through NYC. my car suffered enough. or maybe i will get the mtech on my way back to yyz. i know a body shop in upstate that can paint and install for 700 or less.
