If you are going with the M5Tech bumper (replica) then I would go with one of the local providers here and stay away from China. You might save a couple more dollars, but if there is anything wrong you eat it! Ok, you can probably send it back, but it will still cost you for shipping and your time. Purchased the Umnita M5Tech and the front splitter. It looks very nice for a replica. You want to get the front and the splitter from the same source, otherwis you could get something that won't fit properly. This happen to me with the Umnitza kit as I ordered a left and right slpitter from ebay China that said M5. This was so far off fittment. Clearly it would not work. Luckily, they refunded me but I still got jammed with $60.00 in return shipping. My understanding is the M5Tech is the same as the M5 except it has fogs. It has to be a little different as I hear that OEM is wider and rep is not. So again, be aware if your mixing and matching...

The lip looks great but like people have said it isn't very friendly for everyday driving, mine broke off after about 3 months. You can only be careful so much before you get caught slipping. ;D
It was an eye turner for sure though.

Mine came with 6 bolts. You need to drill the same size holes that are provided with the lip on your front bumper. I got mine from Umnitza. I had to remove mine at this time as I lowered my car and for a daily driver it was really annoying. Looked great though. Maybe when summer comes around I'll put it back on.

So this lip will leave holes on bottom of the bumper? What about the sides in front of the front tires?

Can you pm me the price for the front lip shipped to 91768. I purchased the front and rear m5tech kit just a month ago and I really should have go the lip at the same time.
