M3 bumper or Mtech Conversion

So i crashed my front end and its time for a new look. I was thinking of doing the m3 look or Mtech. But i dont know if i should just do the front bumper only. I have a e90 pre lci by the way. The only reason i ask is because it looks kind of silly with the rear bumper with the single exhaust. Can someone give me their opinions if you done this before? Thanks.

Considering the same for front. I already have Mtech rear. Leaning toward Mtech.

IMO if doing the front bumper in either the rear should be done too, otherwise it just looks off.

There is a picture in the photography thread (titles CSL photoshoot) that will give you an idea of how it will look. It's a matter of person opinion, but I think when installing an agressive front bumper it should be off-set by an agressive rear bumper, otherwise it just looks out of balance to me.

When looking at either the mtech rear bumpers or m3 rear bumpers BMW designed them to compliment the front i.e. similar lines etc.

That said, if you plan to do the rear in the near future then I say GO FOR IT.
