MAC has a great reputation. I know a few guys over on E46fanatics.com that have used them, and never heard a bad comment about their work. Would love to hear about your experience with them.

MAC did a really good job. I am happy with the outcome. Would I go back? Probably not for anything unless it was custom or more advanced body work. they are very expensive but I guess when your car sits next to lambos in the shop, you gotta pay that price lol. All in all I am happy and got my new front lip done right.

The bumper needed to be fully repainted because I scratched the bottom corner of the passenger side pretty bad. I then had them paint the reflectors, side markers and spoiler to match.

Looks pretty good. However, I think maybe just for contrast you should have kept the splitters black like this


However it looks great, and I can see you got your mirrors painted also

Guys, girls I will tell you this.

MAC is as amazing as the hype online. I worked with Joe, D-Rock and Jon for 6 months. I have known the crew for many many years from going to BMW classes and such.

Cost is all relative. Being parked next to Lambo's and such does not warrant a higher price. What warrants a higher price is the equipment that they have invested in, the best technicians and their training and the facility itself. THAT is what has gotten them the right to say they are BMW Authorized, Benz Certified and having worked on almost every exotic under the sun.

I was the 1st BMW Certified shop in the country and I didn't have the equipment that Joe has invested in.

These guys are a class act and great people to work with and for.
