M Sport Front Bumper

First off, yes I searched. Didn't find much recent info, but what I did find is that Trinityauto is the go to around here for replica's.

However, after contacting Trinity it seems they are unsure of whenever they'll receive their next shipment. So my quick question is, is there any other reputable brands that are recommended around here as far as quality & fitment? I googled some stuff, but can't seem to find any reviews on the boards about them. I appreciate any assistance.

My suggestion: Wait for Trinity to get a shipment. On eBay you will find Dureflex kits, they are crap, cheap fiberglass/plastic that is way over priced. The other option is Umnitza - but go ahead and google their reviews, their customer service is shit.

I would agree. I had a rear bumper from Trinity and the fitment was on point. Got rear ended, had to get a new one fast, so I had to go with an ebay vendor, fitment isn't as good. Def wait if you can.

Yea, I saw their site, but wasn't sure about their quality or fitment. Are there any reviews here or a number of people that have them here. Other than Trinity I would think them or M..bargains would be the next best option.

From all the other forums it seems they all get them from the same place overseas same bins... it's a hit or miss

Personally, I think it's all the same stuff. It either comes from China or Taiwan. Stay away from the China manufactures, the quality tends to be lower compared to TW. I have the m5 style front from ModB and the fitment is good (made in TW)
