many members have the umnitza body kits and the fitment seems to be good. the oem are factory originals and you are paying for better quality materials. It's kind of like purchasing a rolex or a foelex. It all comes down to personal preference, some people would never waste that kind of money on a watch, others must have only the best.

You're just going to correct my spelling and not even provide any sort of insight...

One is 300 the other is 1300. Is it worth it to get the OEM?? I am having a bodyshop paint it and install.
If i get the funds together my ideal setup would be the umnitza front and side skirts. Mtech rear. I say mtech rear only because i dont want to do quads so the mtech is the bumper for me.

Its a bumper, basically plastic. It has no effect on ride quality or performance.
Go with umnitza, I have the front bumper and side skirts. Perfect fitment.
Example my bodyshop guy called me to ask what company sells the bumper and side skirts.
He is recommending his customers to them cause of there great quality.

Umnitza, of course. Don't waste your money on OEM stock bumper.

Bad analogy, that would work better on rims.

i'm sure the Umnitza bumpers are great quality and have awesome fitment, but I've felt aftermarket bumpers and they just don't feel the same.
I have nothing against the aftermarket bumpers, actually i'm all for them. Just wanted to let the OP know what the difference was so that he could make the best decision.
