Haha, you don't have to worry about that Jonji.

Yeah midnight, I wish I had a pano also. Oh man, that would be an awesome. Guess I gotta save up money for my roof to be blacked out. Maybe within the next year.

i think if would be sick if you are able to mold the brabus lip to the existing bumper instead of going with the older style bumper.

It doesn't fit

I mean I could try and get it molded but the cost of that would probably out do the process of me just getting the old bumper.

Hah, don't get me wrong though Frank, if the process was at a good price then I would do it. The actual formation of the fog lights and the piece in the middle looks better than the old one for sure IMO, but it's just the do-ability of it.

Yeah it does have a sense of the AMG style bumper in there, but not really. But I see where you're talking about. But I wish I there was a CF lip that would fit the bumper. If I could get that done, I wouldn't switch my bumpers at all.

Does the Brabus lip fit the rear of 05 without any problem?
Is the 05 rear bumper the same as on the 02-04?

The rear lip fits perfectly. Yeah, I always tried to compare my bumper to an older model one and found it to be the same, so I pressed my luck and went with it. Luckily I pulled it off.

Hey, I like the white roof. The black roof on a white car makes it look... smaller or something. Looks good to me.

Just a consideration. After all my priority mods are done, I'll look into this and possible consider doing it. But that's all in due time.
