Is $375 a good deal on a brand new 4.8is bumper?

Try DHL. I got two whole bumpers shipped for under $100.

Agreed the contrast is nice. Love the look of your X, Boxter and of course the Ferrari, WOW!! I've got sometime to figure what to do. I plan on having everything installed in the spring.

Thanks, that's a long time from now. I have seen other silver X's with all the trims painted and it doesn't look bad either.

You might have better luck with these guys this time. I bought the same bumper from them 3 months ago at $269 plus $69 shipping, but they didn't deliver. I waited 6 weeks, sent emails, called 3 times, and every time they told me "it's not in stock at this time". I finally asked for a refund and bought from the dealer. The parts manager heavily discount it for me, but it still came out $500 plus change.

U need to hv other parts out of $375 much in order to hv the facelifted look!
Budget is the key issue to consider if u take this bumper to not

Yes. I understand that. I have already started getting all the face-lift parts needed. Thanks for the look out though.

Great! I guess I will have to keep on these guys. They got right back to me when I asked if they could get any fenders or a hood. I'll cross my fingers and hope everything works out.

Since you already have all of the trim painted, you should check out the AC Schnitzer kit (you would only need front & rear bumper covers), IMO it looks awesome with everything painted the same color (and I generally prefer the contrast of the oem black plastic). When it comes to painted trim I would go with the ACS, I like the 4.8 in its oem form, but thats just my .02, in the end do what you like you will be driving it afterall.

Agreed that is nice looking but how much will that bad boy set me back?

YEAH!!! I just got my tracking number. It will be here on the 24th of October!! Lets just hope it's the right bumper inside the box.
