I think I am going to do the rear trunk panel also. Parts.com has it for $190 I believe. BTW Wally, what did you pay to have your bumper professionally painted?

I just ordered the parts to do the conversion now that I have sold my E92 M3. The cheapest price I have found so far for the parts are from MB of South Atlanta.
http://www.mymercedesparts.com
The MSRP for the front bumper cover is 1405 and change and they offer it at 906.25.
Hopefully I can get this completed by the end of the month.
This is the parts list that I ordered:

True. I never got an answer, but I think I'm going to choose freight shipping because I it should be cheaper. I just don't want to get stuck paying higher than $250.

This is going to be the look of the finished product. The major differences are that my car is black and I won't be running the front plates.

Hey, this is the exact list of items I am ordering from parts.com, the only things I did not order were the splash shield/engine under tray which is not needed, fog lights (ordering the depo on eBay), and the retaining clips for mesh which they did not have (Text in Red). The parktronic sensors are included in this list for cars that have the feature.
The total from parts.com is $1880.14 before shipping costs + $150 for the fog lights.

Here is an update for the Hella E63 round fog lights from pelican parts.com. Two are needed for left and right and they both use the same part # below which cost $64 each.
