Hopefully it doesn't rule anything out. 99% of body shops can pick up the bumper for you OR you can get greyhound to deliver to your address.

You have the same 4-5 people jumping on every thread (look at the links posted below, you'll see what I mean) about bumpers and body kits commenting about how "don't buy from umnitza buy from this other place instead".

We are a direct supplier, we don't have to rely on a secondary source to provide products for us.

Here are a small list of people that have purchased our kits, and these are ONLY forum members.

I bought my kit from Umnitza and fitment was almost perfect, I've heard no real fitment issues about Trinity's kit so they're both good.

The M5 bumper & lip fit perfectley, i had the work done at an Audi shop, they dont really do much body work which was even more impressive because they had no issues with the bumper..,the mechanic was very impressed with the fitment, the bumper literally Snapped rite in, i was there watching, it actually took them longer to remove my original oem bumper...So Matt @ Umnitza thanks for a great price + Quality product + superb customer service & recommendations!

If i ever need anymore mods for my B.M u have sure earned my business!!!

Here are a couple of photos **Yes i'm getting the chrome Vinyled & the black grill **

I asked him about the difference between Umnitza and Trinity and he said that it's the same stuff, but Umnitza is a direct vendor whereas Trinity goes through another layer. Whether this is true or not, I can't confirm...but I will say it was substantially less expensive to order the parts through Umnitza. Shipping was fast, parts were packaged very well, and the guys at the body shop said that this was one of the best non-OE "kits" that they'd ever seen.

My car is at the bodyshop right now getting the bumper and sides fitted. I'll post pics when I get it back.

Pretty much the first thing he said when he pulled it out of the box, wow this looks almost OEM material.

The rear is coming next with a acs rear diffuser, havent had time to get to that yet. Overall I am very pleased with the outcome. Heres some pics I took

Then there goes your claim that your kit and Trinity's kit are exactly the same - doesn't it? Basically, I refuse to buy from you because you're an asshole - do you want me to post what you have told me before through PM?

I will always promote Trinity and Acute because, yes they are local to me, but more importantly their customer service and reputation is spotless. They are not only great vendors but great people, you are a prick.

You're also a liar, remember the recent thread about the oem "like" taillights? you claim yours are more expensive than the eBay ones because your are "better quality" - hey retard, the importer in here in SoCal and a friend of member Project5 - yours are no different, nor better - just more expensive

Do yourself a favor, in one of those links, Trinity admits they are exactly the same...
Don't let truth and facts cloud your judgment though.

BTW - the only thing you and I will probably agree on is your service to our country, for which I'm infinitely grateful to you for.

There isn't really a need for this tension.

When I bought my kit from Umnitza they were anything but assholes, most of the time when I called up there to check up on the shipping and to see if they had any lips in stock I noticed the customer service was actually pretty great. The guys up there were really friendly and we even had a conversation about other things other than the body kit for a good 10mins. Maybe you just had a bad experience?

Actually, I have never bought from them. He did however send me a series of PM's trying to disrespect Joe (Trinity) and Michael (Acute) and the fact that I kept supporting them. So he can kiss my ass

Because when something fits well, the body shop did a great job and the product is great.
When something fits poorly, how can the product be bad if it's the same product, it must be the work of the shop. Since they are the same kits.

These are empirical facts.

We had a communication over PM about why he's always ragging on our service, I think that caused his judgement to be what it is. I don't believe he's ever actually purchased anything from us.

I've purchased items from both Umnitza and Trinity, from my experience both are very good vendors and I had 0 problems with either. I am in noway biased in either just stating what my experiences with each have been and like I stated so far so good. Good luck with your choice!
