I wondered if it was the VIS. I've been cautious about that one's quality since it is fiberglass. In your experience, how does the quality compare to say the OEM bumper.

My car is also black so thanks for posting those. Big help. In black the gap doesn't seem that noticeable in the pictures. Is it noticeable in person?

There is no way to compare to OEM. If you hit something with these fiberglass bumpers.. You can most likely call it a day!

Ive had 2 of them.. First one took a beat down with a cone that was sideways in middle of the freeway. Ripped right through the middle of the bumper.

2nd time around I decided to see if they could do some fab to fix the gap... Spent some extra $$

Long story short its still there... The gap is straight now instead of drooping in the middle. Since our cars are black you can somewhat get away with it but anyone who is into modding their cars will know immediately that the bumper doesn't fit right.

Anyways I couldnt stand the look of the OEM bumper anymore so I said hell with it and got the VIS for the second time. It looks much better in my opinion

I'm not sure that will improve performance in any way, but seems to be a good strategy.

I ditched my chrome lip wheels and couldn't be happier with the replacements. Aggressive but classy. I think something like what I have one my car now would compliment the c63 style bumper on yours.

here's mine for reference:
