alright, thanks for the reply guys. i ll wait and see how others' turn out before i pull the trigger.
Oh btw, one more thing that is my concern, I know that Umnitza bumper is a great cost saving alternatives without sacrificing the looks, and i love it. However, if lets say i got into an accident, which i hope not, will the bumper work as well as the OEM in reducing the impact force?

Well its still using the same front bumper bracket behind this..
Also.. when in an accident, whether is polyurethane or fiberglass.. I dont think it really matters if the accident is a hard hit. Of course this umnitza and the OEM is practically the same.. only difference is price tag.

They of course also provide openings for PDC, washer, places to mount license plates, but they are nothing more now than cosmetic pieces designed to beautify the front end and be easily "updated" so that these cars can look "fresher" longer.
On that level, a fiberglass (crap) bumper will behave similarly to an ABS OE bumper in a crash, they will both disintegrate.
The real question is how does each bumper hold up to the little nips, dings, scratches, and washes of day to day usage. Fiberglass bumpers fail miserably at this. Our PP bumpers and the ABS OE bumpers are virtually indistinguishable in those areas.
Hope that helps.
