It seems most people here are upgrading to the m-tech front of the M5 replica.

I think I am leaning towards the M5 front instead. I want to make sure the Umnitza M5 bumper can use for lamps.


Any opinions?

That seems to be what people are doing now. When I'm ready, I'm going to get the M5 rep with fogs. Yes, you can re-use your current fogs on the new bumper.

Well, I guess I should have read this thread before I posted mine, pretty much the same thing I'm wondering. I'm leaning more towards the Umnitza myself...

Nope. you can't use fogs....





j/k. Yes you can. Just call up Umnitza and they can explain everything. Or you can contact Trinity Autosports. they have the bumper too. M5 Replica bumper Front for Non M cars.

I like the M-tech front more than the M5 replica.

Chris, you are only 30 minutes away from the shop
And no, I'm not planning on working out until allergy season is over and my immune system recovers.
