I got lucky and found a used rear bumper on Ebay for $300. I needed to purchase the rear quarter side panels as well from the dealer. They were $140 ea. I already had the extended wheel arches. I had to cut and modify them to fit with new bumper while still being able to have the sport running boards. The whole project of the bumper was around $1000 or so...

Oh ok, that makes sense. I have this warped idea in my head that I want to wrap my Lemans Blue X5 in matte white in a year or so, but white panels with blue jams would look terrible. Thanks!

I would have gone with a matte tint on the tails as well.

How much was the wrap job? $2k +?

Did you paint the running boards? I thought about getting mine painted black but the shop I took it to said it would chip

That looks totally awesome! Hows the ride being lowered.

If it was the price I was quoted by the same place, double that and then some..
