Finally after waiting over 2 months, I received the much anticipated M-Tech replica front bumper today! This is not to be confused with the "M-style" or "M5Tech" front bumpers. Without further ado, pics are below:
Box a little beat up via Greyhound bus shipping
Opening the box
Grills, plate bracket, washer caps, tow cap, foglight trim
Bumper itself
You can see even though the box suffered some damage, the bumper itself was very well protected and made it just fine. The finish on the bumper seems to be nice and smooth, and the overall shape symmetric with no visible sags or dips that jump out at you (problems which plague the M5Tech front bumper). There was no actual hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc) nor installation instructions included, so I guess the expectation is to reuse the stock bits and figure it out on your own. I would expect the disassembly/assembly is pretty straightforward. The only thing I'm unsure of is if the existing brake ducts will swap over with a little trimming. According to RealOEM, the non-M and M-tech brake ducts are 2 different PNs.
Anyway, hope that gives you an idea of the latest M-Tech front bumper option!

Still waiting to see what people think about the fitment, if there is any. I understand one member already mounted his but that was awhile back. Just want to see if anyone has any issue with this new batch...
Looks good so far.

Exactly, Umnitza is the only one currently carrying the M-Tech replica. The "M5Tech" front bumper available from Umnitza, Trinity, eBay, etc. did not appeal to me. Luckily for other people, I think there should still be more bumpers available from Umnitza because they're in stock now.
