vipclk320 is selling them for $1k but thats too much, but your existing bumper and the c55 bumper need to be cut where the bumper molding strip is, then needs to be fabricated together, then fabricating at the wheels because the c55 bumper is too short. as for your wheels, the bigger the rims the more you need to drop the car, i personally dont like anything bigger then 18" it just doesnt look right in our cars. i have 17" but im gonna lower it 1.5"

Thanks - took your advise and just purchased 18" rims - looks great!
Also, will keep looking for that perfect bumper. I found one, but it's in the UK and fibreglass, so will be very expensive with duty and freight.
