I think the OP's question was related to the M-tech rear bumper, see above ... 
On that note, I'm unsure regarding either bumpers as well. I already have the M-tech front (no sides) but kept the rear bumper stock. I have a new M-tech bumper sitting in my garage (with all the installation hardware + 2 diffusers), which I may sell. For now, I'm leaning on the stock rear with reflectors.

Hi there! I understand your question. Last year when I ordered my M-tech kit, I didn't order the rear bumper because I thought the stock one looked better. I eventually added the rear bumper to my order and I am glad I did. I like the quad options that are available to the M-tech better. You may not be thinking of quads now, but it leaves more options open for later. Here are some pics of the evolution of the ass-end of my car! :
