After running into a few members with M-tech fronts, I've realized that they're not an absolute perfect fit. They all seem to be off a little on the right hand side....including my own.

Mine fits like a glove... are you sure other members had OEM mtech and Not Umnitza? Well i even hear umnitza bumpers fit perfect too.
el immi: you should pm radz and ask if his bumper ever got "bumped" or if he ever noticed the "gap" you are seeing...
