Aftermarket bumper (before and after pics)
What do you guys think of this bumper with some work done to it? The lines are a little sharp at the bottom splitter but I would have them rounded some.

Very high quality
It looks like it is very high quality
The last two have work done to them.

The third pic is an improvement for sure, Black Series'ish. If the lines met flush under the front plate instead of bowing out giving it that milti-piece look, it would be a pretty sharp looking front cover. It just looks too busy 'as is' IMO.

Thats the beauty of fiberglass Kevwood, you can add to it and shape it. I think it might look better with you suggestion.
Im def leaning towards #3 the open look.

Pics
Once some of the sharp egdes have been rounded some it will look better. I have been in contact with Priordesign so they can send me some side profile pics of the bumper installed on the car. I want to see how low the front bumper will be. Thats very important because I dont want the front bumper to hang lower than my amg side skirts and look nose heavy. I cant stand seeing that on cars. The bumper price isnt to bad, $799 but the shipping is $130, ouch.

Good idea to research the product before buying, hope you'll post up the pics when you get them.

I would be happy with any of the styles, I think the bumper is one of the best aftermarket styles i've seen. Its not too fussy and keeps the lines flowing without trying too hard. What ever you chose it will make you smile i'm sure!

Did you ever get the body kit NastyCLK? I'm going to order it soon but wanted to leave out the side skirts. I just love the factory skirts on our cars
