ok guys from stock i Have the umnitza front M5 bumper, Mtech side skirts oem rear M5 bumper,ACS Spoiler, Eibach Prokit lowering springs, 19" VS-xxx work rims.. and alot more look at the sig..
ok the pictures aren't the best just took some pictures using my camera phone... I'll take better pictures later and I KNOW I'm getting my exhaust done this saterday from American muffler.
ok for those who want to know what you need for the umnitza from bumper, you'll need new brackets to open and close the windshield washers for the head lights and as for brake ducts my body shop guy said there no way to mount them =(.. I have stock brake ducts and mtech brake duct but nothing worked. he said that the originals ducts go were the fog lights are but we have fogs there now.... also he said its not the best thing but its not going to destroy the brakes, he told me that alot of the air coming in from the front to the radiator will help to force some air into the ducts already in place on the front fenders. well enjoy the crappy pictures for now =p

Hey, concerning the brake ducts, you said that our original ducts go where the new fogs are, so you couldn't mount them. But, the new fogs are in the same place as the old fogs... Aren't our original ducts beside the fogs? I'm surprised that the m-tech ducts wouldn't work either...
Do you know the part # for the windshield washer brackets?
Lastly, I'm guessing the fitment was good? Any gaps?
thanks! I get my bumper installed mid next week.
