Hope you have enough info/pricing, now call them both and make them work and get you the best price
I see you are in Seattle, since Umnitza is up North, he "might" get you a better pricing because he's closer to you. Again, call them both, and let them battle for your business

Sorry, I haven't even put the kit on yet, I heard about the fitment issue from other members that bought the kit from the two vendors here.

Thanks! I guess I am getting Trinity to paint and install the kit. They'll know better how to make the perfect fit

I wanna do this at the and of this month, along with this wanna get RPI GT exhaust wohoo

Please advise

I'd get the M5 replica front instead of Mtech (since its more rare to see) and just get replica parts in general! They are REALLY great quality and you simply can't tell the difference. Look through my gallery if you like!
