yes it is it really doesnt look that bad in person. but you guys say its a BMW not a honda people do a lot more ricey stuff then change a bumper. Thought all of you put on rep bumpers.
well yeah but most people until recently didnt touch rep pieces because its straight hit and miss for fitment and quality

Even Genuine is not guaranteed.
...touche' 
...nigx...do you have a gap issue as well with your umnitza bumper?
OP: either way, I am sure there is some shaving that can be done to get that bumper a little more flush, GL

Isn't there a speed nut there with a screw going through it? I think it keeps the fender in place with the frame. Try moving it around to get it out of the way or to allow the bumper to sit correctly. GL man!

Iam not sure why people are not listetining to me, when i first installed my umnitza it was the same way and i started tripping and started hitting it more and more in, then it just clicked in perfect like the OEM mtec i had. GOOD LUCK, and this bumper is sick looking thats why i got rid of my OEM MTEC for it.
