I'm not sure if we do buy from the same place...but I know personally that our fitment is really dead on.

If they buy from the same place, how can the fitment be different....think about it....and trinity didn't say they didn't, so you have to assume they do, which would mean they are still identical kits....
+1. they look the same too.

We do not buy from the same place, we go through a Taiwanese source, but the bumpers still say the same manufacturer on them, which means they are the same. That company wouldn't open up 2 different molds for the same bumper (makes no sense).

It's only interesting from the level of lunacy that customer exhibited by keeping a product installed for 4+ months and only after 4 months asking to refund in full before we had a chance to work with him on the issue (which was as it turned out a bad ballast for his HID), he proceeded to attempt to blackmail us with postings like that one.

Let me be clear, we work with all customers that may have an issue, but if you attempt to blackmail us to get a result, that's when all communication stops.

Not trying to start an online feud or ruin what this thread is intended to do... but I would not buy anything from Umnitza again. I had called them after my shop told me the pdc mounts wernt perfect and needed to be realigned... Umnitza was upset because the bumpers had already been painted by my shop before test fitting. It is pretty stupid to paint before test fitting, but that doesnt change the fact that the pdc mounts were not as they were suppose to be. Umnitza also was very hessitant to refund me for LED tails that were smoking upon installation. I fought for a few days over the phone and eventually gave up. It wasnt worth the hassle for 200 bucks.

Like I said, I do not want to ruin what this thread is about... I think customer service is important when buying online and from across the country... so this should play a role in people's decisions about who to buy from. That is why I brought this up. Umnitza, if you want to argue over this issue, like you do in many other threads, PM me.

I've been very happy with Umnitza buying the front and rear bumpers on different occasions. Communication was good. You will always have someone to say something negative about a company like the e90 post.

+1. I also think " you get what you pay for ". if you buy a bumper twice cheaper then OEM one - expect it to be cheaper. Or if you want it to be perfect - go to the dealer and buy it there. Everyone makes choice on were to buy.

Unless it is really a problem (like it was with vendor "quad") or scam, it's not really cool to trash someones business with not confirmed facts

i believe member 'aneet' is speaking from his recent personal experience and just sharing it with the OP.
He did open a thread stating his fitment issues https://5series.net/forums/index.php...opic=86570&hl=
