Hi all,
Anyone from recent CMP group-buy installed their kits in SoCal, shop used? Or have recommendation on the shop? Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I am doing the whole thing; topside, plate reinforced on the bottom, also the solid bushing so the subframe needs to come down. Hoping someone in SoCal had done this using CMP kits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's been a while since this was posted but I hope this helps. I didn't join the GB since I didn't have a M3 yet but I purchased their subframe reinforcement plate, subframe bushings and RTAB 2 weeks ago and just had Matt @ Tech Craft install it. Everything went smoothly and he was really impressed with the overall kit, especially the RTAB bushing.

I think I saw some pics of the installed reinforcements on your car that Matt posted up on Instagram. They look good. Lots of coverage.
