Are all PU aftermarket M-tech bumpers the same?

I'm looking to change out the wifey's 528 front bumper. **********s, Umnitza, ebay, etc., even CL has a version of the M-tech front with fog lights. They're all made of PU and I'm just wondering if they're all made from the same manufacturer overseas, just sold by various retailers. The prices seem pretty close so I'm just wondering if all the fitments will be the same. Any info will be appreciated. Thx.

Only those that changed their aftermarket bumper twice would know. The fact is all seller will say "mine is the closest to OEM" (or something similar). So I have no idea too. Mine isnt perfect fit on the bottom, they said maybe it's stretch due to the sun...etc. All bs. So in conclusion, they always defend that theirs stuff are best and if something wrong, they always blame it on other factors...Go OEM is your best bet if quality and fitment is your priority

Question

So far from what I've seen on thousands of post regarding aftermarket bumpers Seems like they're all made in China or Taiwan. Even if u order them from a site vendor here they're all from overseas. Some fitment are better than others...some not So great. Some made from poly... some made from fiberglass. If u have the money go OEM. I did over the weekend picked up an aftermarket mtech rear bumper cause it was a deal I couldn't pass up!
