Montego + Mtech, eBay aero lip

Internal Combustion · 11-13-2013, 05:53 PM

About 5 weeks ago, I got rear ended leaving the hospital. Sitting at a redlight, delivery guy hit me going 4mph. CRV vs 335. Luckily, Ohio is a fault state. Called respective insurance companies, his adjuster came out the next day to eval the car. Got a check for $975. Could have left or repaired the bumper.

Not bad.

Rather than replace the original, I looked into options. Picked up a M-tech replica from JGMods for $500 shipped. Great quality.

While I was at it, I thought I'd go for a Mtech look in the front and picked up an Aero lip for $79 shipped on eBay.

Asked around and got a local guy to do the car, install, etc for $700. MacDonalds Body Shop in Hilliard OH. Totally would give my business again.

After:

Before:

So for about $250 I'd say I did some good to the car, as it was all stuff I wanted to do anyways.

Now I need new tips

Looks good! But I think you should've saved up for a M Sport front.
