Has anyone done the facelift aftermarket E63 front bumper change?
Hello, I am looking to see if anyone has ventured to do one of the aftermarket front bumper upgrades to the facelift E63. I have an e550 sedan and am thinking about doing it, but I want to know about parts quality and quality of fitment. If the actual bumper cover quality isn't that good, I think I may buy an OE bumper, along with aftermarket bumper (that comes with all of the "trimmings") and use the "trimmings" from the aftermarket bumper since those are usually polypropylene and usually really high quality.
I have done the Selma rear diffuser upgrade and the parts quality is near OE in my opinion. The ease of fitment was definitely not "plug and play" because removal of the original diffuser required removing several aluminum rivets without damaging the reusable parts.
I look forward to your responses.
Thanks in advance.

And it is going to be around $4500 - 5000.
As I heard from those techs, After market ones from eBay, they might have fitment issue
Good luck
