One is 300 the other is 1300. Is it worth it to get the OEM?? I am having a bodyshop paint it and install.
OEM just the bumper doesnt cost $1300, it is around $600+, then you need fog light etc

anyone here with U bumper and use original fog light? picture please? since the original fog light is not round, i wonder how it fits, i am looking for front bumper as well

I have the Umnitza bumper with OEM Foglight housing. It uses the original one you have. If you ever take apart your OEM Stock bumper, you'll see the housing is round.

What are you doing later? want to come by to check out the car and compare?

I dont know if you are being sarcastic. Im only asking because you have a full mtech kit. I assume you bought your mtech before the umnitza kit was around so this could be the reason you are saying that.
First of all, I said OEM STOCK, not OEM M-tech. Actually, M-tech was selling under $1k at the time when I was considering. So $1300 for a stock front is ridiculous. Second (which you're correct), Umnitza was not available until approx 3 months ago. That's what I was saying.

Ok, sweet. I believe I am going with the Umnitza. Their insurance is paying for it so I may put the rest of the money towards other things...
