im trying to decide which way i want to go. im thinking umnitza for the front end and sides. umnitza is currently working on spiltters for the front end so that would be exciting down the road. im not 100% sure yet. I would like to see my options. ive looked through some of the gallery post but this seems to be the easiest way!! suggestions welcome.

edit:

also what are my best options for ordering a mtech rear bumper?

Good decision Brett. That will really complete the look of your ride, which already looks pretty sweet. But E60's were meant to have the M Tech kit to complete the look.

I dont want a lip now because i want to replace the entire front bumper. I dont want a front plate. My current bumper has the plate. The new one will not get a plate bolted on.

im not going to do the umnitza mtech rear because they dont even have one right now. i planned on doing the oem mtech rear with the umnitza front and sides. mix and matched i know. but i cant afforad over 2k for the mtech kit (without paint and install)

i know eurorev has a special right now on mtech kits for $2400 painted and shipped.

Most shops are going to charge you about $1000 or so to paint the umnitza kit because its rep so youll roughly pay about the same. Install is a snap too, just some plugs and bolts and your good to go

id check there first

Go Mtech!! But if moneys an issue then go umnitza front... Be ready to have no brake ducts, and gonna have to shave down that washer bracket to make it fit, even when it fits it's not perfectly aligned....seen it on 2 cars so far
Either way it will look much better than your stock front

painting is the only thing i dont have to worry about. my boyfriend has a connect here in lincoln to a really good body shop. ive already talked with the owner for a great deal. He just wants me to refer everyone i know to him.

2400 is a good deal but still pricey for me compared to -> umnitza front end and sides sipped for 540. paint and install on those things will be under a grand for everything. i understand its a replica but they seem to have a successful design and people who are using them are happy.
