I can't say I recommend the 4.8iS body kits on eBay
I took a gamble and ordered a 4.8iS body kit on eBay. It was shipped from Latvia. It included fender flares, front, and rear bumper spoilers. Well, in the time it took to arrive from Latvia, I received an offer on my X5 and decided to sell it. (Just bought a 2006 4.8iS from a fellow Xoutposter and its on its way from Seattle as I type this.)
I spent $388 on this body kit and that includes shipping. When it arrives since I no longer needed it I contacted the seller to see if he would accept returns. No problem, but I'm responsible for shipping costs. USPS dropped it off at my house so I take the unopened package back to the post office where I was told they won't ship an item that large. I explain that they delivered it, so obviously they do ship items that large. I was told that the package didn't originate as a USPS package and that they just weren't going to touch it. Ok fine. I then go to UPS to get a quote. $1,300 to ship it back. Oh, ok. I guess I'm keeping it. So I open the package and the rear spoiler is broken in 2. I took pictures and emailed the seller explaining the shipping situation and that there was a broken piece hoping he would give me some sort of refund. And to his credit he did refund me $120. What a hassle. If anyone wants to play around with this thing let me know. I no longer have any use for it, and I can get some actual pics, but this is the pic from the eBay ad.

I hate the idea of shipping this thing. It's big and brittle. I don't think there is a way to package it so that it won't break. Honestly, the best thing to do would probably to be cut the bumpers in half and reattach them as you put them on.

Where in Wisconsin are you located??? If it's close the Illinois border maybe I'll be interested in taking a drive up there.
