I got mine from Trinity Autosport. They were a pleasure to deal with!

Looks good! I'll check them out, thanks.

Just did, kind of on the expensive side.

$600 and change was the going rate when I did mine.

I see Umnitza has it for 299 but I don't know if they have fitment issues.

Just type "Umnitza" into the Search box and read some of the reviews. Then you can draw your own conclusions.

They do not have fitment issues. It all depends on the installer. We ship at least 30-40 of these bumpers every month, so you're bound to have some shops that claim this or that, but reality, we've installed at least 30 of these at our shop alone and with the exception of the fender bracket that needs some slight modification on some cars, the bumpers fit without any issues.

If you have any questions, please call us 877 486 6489.

I just finished doing that and I don't like what I read, I don't want to wait a month for a bumper and then have fitment issues.
I am already in a frustrated state dealing with the insurance and having my car looking like a piece of junk.

As you know, it's a lot more common to have complaints than favorable reviews, that is why we started our own blog where customer who write positive reviews can be recognized:

What Umnitza customers are saying - Blog

Regarding fitment issues, NO M-Tech bumper, either OEM or aftermarket, will properly fit a standard car unless modifications are made underneath the bumper.

Dense foam pieces are mounted to the structure underneath the bumper cover that help support the bumper cover and provide more rigidity. Because the bumper cover shapes are slightly different, the factory uses slightly different foam pieces.

In order to make the M-Tech or M5 bumpers fit properly, you can shave the stock foam pieces if you are handy with a knife and have the time to widdle away the foam and make repeated trial fits until the new bumper fits smoothly. However if a body shop is doing the install don't expect the body shop to spend time shaving parts. Order the proper foam pieces from a dealer.

I purchased an Umnitza M-Tech bumper and initial fit was not good. After research I purchased the proper foam pieces and delivered them to the body shop and then the fit was very good. Overall I was happy with the quality of the Umnitza unit.

My body shop, which does all kinds of work, including exotic high-end cars here in Scottsdale, was initially doubtful when I talked about an aftermarket bumper cover, but after seeing the Umnitza unit they were suitably impressed and excepting the foam issues, thought the bumper cover painted well and installed easily. They had an M5 in the shop at the same time and commented that they liked the M-Tech look a little more.
