opinions on aftermarket replica M5 bumpers?

[supark]

I just went to Umnitza's werehouse and checked out their replica bumpers. Was pretty underwhelmed by the quality - both of the ones I looked at were pretty warped so I didn't end up being one from them.

Thing is the one I got from EEEE36's ill-fated group buy was perfect - didn't quite line up with the fenders like all the replicas out there, but wasn't warped at all.

What have you guys thought of the replicas that DDMtuning, Modbargains and Eurodyne offer? Any warping?

I think they are all the same, replicas from china.... just sold by different companies, although i will admit the majority of complaints I have heard are about Umnitza's.. maybe they got a bad batch like they did with the DEPO lenses...

I've read more good things than bad things about the quality of aftermarket bumpers across all the major vendors. My suggestion is to search and read, then read more, and search again, then read, read, read and form a general impression from all the numerous threads. Heck there's a thread about DDM's bumpers that's over 75 pages deep. From there you can make a decision to go aftermarket or OEM. My own impression is that the quality of aftermarket bumpers is not perfect, but close, and quite good for the price. That is also my impression after actually buying and installing one too.
