I don't there is any difference unless you have parking sensors. If so, the LCI version of pdc is a larger size than the pre-LCI -- that's how it was explained to me by Extreme Parts in Toronto when I was looking for MTech front bumper only for my 2008.

Reviving this thread
Dasyhrd - Did you ever find the kit? If so, where? Schmeidmann.com has LCI kits but they're saying shipping to the states is $400-$500 plus needs to be picked up at airport, they can't ship directly to body shop. WTF!
Sourcing parts individually runs $2K++, that's before paint and install
Can anyone help and chime in? How direct are Umnitza and Trinity's fitments? I know they're made of polypropylene but are they sturdy with bending resistance like stock kits?
Let me know

Thanks Tonyb635 for all those details. Maybe the Duraflex version are a better strategy, even though they take a lot more prep.

Yeah thanks tonyb! Your input is extremely helpful here. Do you have OEM or aftermarket? How's the drone fix going?

Duraflex is a fancy name for fiberglass.
The specific MTECH kits we sell are better and stronger material than the M5tech (front and rear) the side skirts don't much matter as they take almost no abuse at all.
The Mtech style is a sturdy OEM level material.
