I would go with Trinity. I have gone with Umnitza twice and both times I was very unhappy. I purchased the replica M5 rear bumper from them and my replica m-tech sideskirts (before Trinity started carrying them). I ended up selling the M5 bumper because I got a hartge diffuser to go with it and it didn't fit because the bumper was not even close to right, it was totally off, so I sold it and got a OEM M5 rear bumper. The sideskirts that I got from Umnitza are too short. Maybe I just got a bad set from Umnitza, I don't know. I did not have a problem with the shipping though. The items came in good condition and was easy to just pick up, if you have a truck.

+1 for Trinity. I got the the entire kit from them and it fits like a glove. Great service from the boys at Trinity make it a no brainer for me.

Thanks guys for all your kind words!

We do get it from the same people in China, but there is a difference in how we ship, our customer service, and our FITMENT really seems to be better than Umnitza.

I'm not sure how we quoted you $150, but it's $60 for business address and $90 for residential address. Thank you.

Definitely go with Trinity, never had or seen any fitment issues with their kit. Supposedly same maker, but for some reason Trinity's fits perfectly, the gap on my front bumper is LESS that it was with stock, looks beautiful and you won;t find better guys to deal with.

I got quote from Trinity and Umnitza, went with Umnitza. Whole kit $900 shipped to Greyhound's downtown LA location. Called Greyhound, have them deliver to my house in a small van for extra $20, save me the trip and still a great deal to me.

lets not turn this into a bash umnitza, they carry the same kit and their prices are good too

the difference is in price packages and who you want to support

True
price versus service. Depends on which is most valuable to you.

Not quite just that PTL, there have been several threads here detailing fitment issues with the Umnitza kit, and yet not one describing any issues with Trinity's kit. There is a difference no matter how slight it may be, but it's there. Plus Trinity's unparalleled customer service.

i understand that but ive kinda kept my mouth shut for a bit about the rep skirts i got from trinity. They are short just like the umnitza ones. Maybe like a quarter inch but other than that the fitment is perfect and the look is good.

People bashed umnitza for this and yet the Trinity kit is the same. I think the difference is that Joe and Nerwyllslsadkaslf (whatever) give great customer service and umnitza has had a slight rough road here.
