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?manishkob wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 4:30 pmSo I'm planning to get a m-tech 2 kit but I'm not sure if it fits my model year.

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.coopman wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 8:14 amNote, my fog lights are now ornamentalTzantushka wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 3:18 amHi, from your terms & description sounds like you are in North America?manishkob wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 4:30 pmSo I'm planning to get a m-tech 2 kit but I'm not sure if it fits my model year.

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