Other than the using the Mtech headlight washer levers, are there any other parts that need to be purchased to make the Umnitza front bumper fit perfectly? (i.e. the "adapter" that is listed in the realoem diagram, etc...)

any more info on this? Mtech headlight washer levers!

I did not need to buy anything else besides what came with the front bumper/sides.....I did buy their foglight kit for like 35 bucks (HID)....but that is it.....my installer only had one tiny problem which he was able to fix...and that was the headlight washer's didn't fit 100%, but apparently they just filed it slightly and now works perfectly....fitment is perfect for the front bumper. The sides are about 1-2mm short but you really can't tell....

I just installed the Umnitza M5 front replica. Everything is great, except a portion of the area below the bumper grill sags. Any ideas on the cause of this and what adjustments to make to eliminate it?

DuraFlex does not look bad at all....$300 for each bumper...$750 for the whole set including skirts, and quality wise they seem better, anybody had any experience with them?

Quality wise, they are the same old same old FRP:

Quote:

Extreme Dimensions' new Duraflex premium aerodynamics combine fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to obtain its unique features. The new Duraflex technology obtains a much higher durability rate than the average fiberglass product, resulting in reduced shipping damages up to 75%

Note how they mention it reduces shipping damage, but nothing about install or usage issues.

Stay away from FRP products in general unless you want to change the look of your car often (or replace the parts).
