I got the umnitiza front bumper today and dropped it off at the body shop they matched up the color and they are painting it today and should have it installed tomorrow. I was able to find a good body shop to do it for $400 painted installed and they are putting in the new fog lights i got from them also. Seems like a good deal cant wait to post some pics

Hopefully yours came with everything. Mine was missing the fog light mounts, the mesh piece in the two side vents. I'm going to get it toward the end of June, however, the guys at Umnitza were really helpful about it and are extremely responsive.
Here's a little note for you as I learned this one the hard way. Check your headlight washer covers and make sure they work the way they are supposed to. I neglected to check that, I mean who would? So I had the bumper on for over 2 weeks and just two days ago I was coming home and my windshield was a bit dirty so I washed it, lights were on so the headlight washers popped out and sprayed the headlights too. when I got home I saw lots of foam on the front from the headlight washer and just looked at the front. I noticed the drivers side headlight washer bumper cover was missing. They never transferred the little arm brackets and springs. Great now I have to use the one from my old bumper. Just check that they open and close properly and not open and fall out in your hands.

Didn't we inform all umnitza bumper purchasers to get the new housing for the headlight washing bracket?? hmmm we had to get the Mtech brackets and cut them to fit the umnitza M5 bumper...
