Andy,
Yeah they have better pricing but as you can see, its the 05 amg front bumper. I sent an email over to them so that i can see what exactly the kit looks like from up close unpainted. Waiting on a response.

Okay so here is what i found out so far:
1)According to a VIS Rep, it is not the new kit however he does not see a difference between the two. He will be sending me pictures as soon as he takes them.
2) The front bumper only comes with the center grille, the grills for the fog lights do not come with it.
3) I spoke to parts department at the stealer and they told me that apparently the 06 Fog lights with the chrome bezels and the new mesh inlay are not compatible with the 05 kit because of the clips which is something i yet still have to confirm. He also told me that for the whole set with the bezels, inlay, and fog it will be $431 for ONE. Which brings a total of $862 for just fogs.
Still doing more research so i will keep you guys posted.

See what sucks is that there is no replica for the updated look of the amg front bumper and the older one is ugly. Another problem is, i see tons of the amg clks down here in new york. I only seen a few of the lorinsers so its all about being unique and good looking as well. Take a look how many members here have amg kits, especially because they come standard on the 500 and up
The Lorinser kit is okay, but I still prefer the AMG (my opinion of course). Just because its unique, doesn't make it better. Good Luck!

Jeesh, the the '03-'05 AMG kits are not THAT bad. I actually like the simple.....yet sporty look of the kit. I would also prefer the fogs with the chrome surround, but I'm not willing to pay $5000+ just to get them. I bought the projector style fogs with the HID upgrade and I LOVE IT!

just to add my lil bit here.. the difference between the amg kit from before 2005 and after is not just a change from oval to round fogs and a chrome bezel, the two side grilles/apertures are shaped differently the bottom of the lip is rounded before 2005 and has a kink after 2005
before 2005
after 2005
before 2005
after 2005
