Which bumper

Thinking of changing front bumper on my E55. Should I do the:
E63 conversion?

The Prior Design?

The Wald Black Bison?

E63 all the way bro. Nothing cleaner than factory.

Although I do like the PD bumper as well. But the Factory E63 is just too clean.

I know the last time I checked Parts.com they had bumper covers for around $800... I know that doesn't help with the tidbits of parts/brackets etc here and there but it's a helluva lot cheaper than $1300 list.

I'd go for 2 all the way. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on it. How long is the turn around for the Prior Design Bumper?

Would you take the older version(SLRish) or the newer version (E63ish) Prior Design Bumper?

I was going to get the older version just because the fog lights look so out of place in the newer one.

But that's just my opinion.

Thats what I thought too. There is such a big surface area for those small foglights.. it looks kinda out of place. The silver E55 looks badass and I bet it would be better in person.
