One of the best days of my life! I had to pick up a shipment from USPS today. Guess what it was???
Yeah Baby! IT WAS THE SHIPMENT FROM UMNITZA!!! I finally got my M front bumper!
Well, I actually ordered the m-tech, but I guess everyone is getting the new M style replica with fogs! That's the one I prefer anyway!
When I spoke with Matt from Umnitza, I asked him for the dimensions of the box. He said he couldn't really describe it and it was difficult to measure. I was rather surprised that someone who deals with shipments on a daily basis wasn't able to simply quote me the box dimensions. Well, that's until I went to pickup the box. Actually, it's not a box. It's the most interestingly packed item I have ever, ever received! It's like 100 boxes taped together in a "squarish" shape. Needless to say, the packaging was awesome and the bumper is in great condition. Matt, sorry I ever doubted your ability to measure a box! I think Umnitza did a great job shipping this! They must have used a whole role of tape just piecing the boxes together!
I live in Canada and Umnitza can't ship here. So, I shipped it to member exx1976 in NY and drove over and picked it up. Member exx1976 is an awesome guy and I really appreciate his help here! If it wasn't for this forum, I would never have met him, and probably would never have this bumper. Thanks again Dude!
It was shipped to NY from California on Monday. So you guys from NY, hang in there. Your shipment should arrive in the next day or so.
I should be installing the bumper next week. Will definitely post pic's once it's installed.

Wow you ordered on march 28 and you got your bumper already, I ordered mine on Feb. 28 and still haven't recieved the front yet....what BS
I ordered February 9th, so I'm right there with you. But it looks like the long wait will be over in a few days...

Guys, USPS is really hit and miss, we can't stress that enough. Some people local to us that wanted it shipped - like Vegas - got it in 2 weeks, others like the OP got theirs in 3-5 days in NY. But they ALWAYS deliver.
Some of you, if you look carefully at your tracking number AFTER you receive it may also notice that they haven't updated it...in many cases for days.
However, do not call the USPS, they won't know or care about your bumper, sadly, only patience works with this.

Great pics! Can you take pics of the back of the bumper for us? Interested in seeing how the fog scoops look like from the rear. Is the Fog mesh removable?
