05 SL55 bumper to 08 SL55 Bumper
So im thinking about updating the look of my 05 SL55 and was thinking about going with the 08 SL bumper. Are any of the pieces (mesh, fog lights) interchangeable? What all do I need for the conversion besides bumper, mesh and fogs?

Thanks,

Yea I did some research and looks like I need to get the impact strips, mesh, and a few other goodies to make it fit. I was going to upgrade to the 08 SL55 front bumper.

you need everything associated with the 08 front bumper and the 2 forward wheel well liners. except center mesh may be the same but I didnt compare it. expect about $3800 new parts.
