I'm finally in the market of purchasing a kit without PDC. Just curious to know how your replica is holding up:
  • How long have you had it for?
  • Have you been in a fender bender? If so, was it repairable?
  • Which vendor did you purchase from?
  • Any trouble getting it painted?




Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Obviously biased but:
Personal ride:





1) wife hit the first parking stop she could find, small crack developed (you can see it unless you look for it) after hitting it pretty hard, since then no further issues or cracks
2) Normal wear and tear and still looks just like it did when first painted, no paint chips or peels.
3) No problem at all painting or installing

Give us a call - ask for Tim.

I have umnitza front/side and rear, pretty impressive fitment and no discoloring or saggyness. Pretty happy, but i might end up getting OEM front bumper so i can use Carbon fiber splitters, unless umnitza can come up with them

I have a Trinity MTech rep rear and it was good quality. Fitment was right on.

I got my M5 rep front and sides from Trinity Autosport over a year ago, no issues whatsoever. Haven't been in any "fender benders" (knock on wood). Still looks as god as it did when I got it.
TRINITY FTW!!!!
