I too am in the bumper market. My front bumper is deeply scraped pretty substantially on the non-painted section (thanks to my mom) it is also chipping paint in several areas.

The only front bumper I like is the AC Schnitzer one with PDC.

As for the rear I recently backed into a concrete column in our parking garage while I was moving since I could not see out the rear. Luckily it just scraped the rear bumper a bit but it l looks like it removed a little paint so needs to be repainted. Thinking I will add the 4.8is spolier at this time.



My hood could use a repaint and some dents need pulling as well..

Sorry,agree with most comments here,but whats important is that you like it
If I had your bumper ,I would replace the mesh with a black honeycomb type (like on "M" models and as a second thought ,"tone " down the fog lights ,by opening them and spraying the chrome reflector black or possibly replacing them altogether with darker lights ,similar to the OE.
You may then ,also want to fit black bonnet grills

If you like it, that's all that counts.
