You don't have to change the bumper. First check your state's laws to see if the front license plates are required (I believe they are in CA). If yes, better keep it on (no biggie - they are required in the MB-land, too). If not - you can always get bumper hole plugs. As for the side markers - they are required by law in the US, but some folks still get rid of them by installing "Euro impact strips". Use the search button and take your time - you'll be amazed how much information you will get before asking a question that has been answered countless times here.
