So I'm planning to get a m-tech 2 kit but I'm not sure if it fits my model year. I know a m-tech 2 kit bolts on facelift models but since '88 is a weird year, where it has both diving boards and facelift valence/rear, I don't know if it's the same straightforward installation. 192.168.0.1 router login 192.168.1.1

Easy way to tell the facelift is the different rear lights.

Hi, from your terms & description sounds like you are in North America?

Can't comment on suitability for N. American spec versions.
But as we have Euro-spec E30's here in Australia & the UK - a few owners have successfully fitted Mtech front kits.
e.g. see Coompan's car here

What body / model variant do you have?

So were mine until I was told to get them working at the test. If fitted, must work. At least in Europe and UK.

All comments by me should be taken in the right sprite, Jack Daniels is fine.
