Photoshop Request: C63 hood humps on W211 E63

Really curious what this would look like on a W211 E63 with a CF front lip. Looking to make the car more aggressive. I'll upload some pics that can be used in a minute. What are everyone's thoughts?

I found replica bumps that can just be molded in. Which is easy enough. I'm curious enough to find a way to chop it to take a gander. To me what might throw it off the most is the round headlights.

Thanks Andrew. I think I'm sold. The bumps and a euroteck diffuser in the back. Here's one of the pics.

Coupled with the curves coming back from the headlights, I think it's too many curves for the hood. The C63 has one curve arcing back from the headlight assembly while the W211 has a pair that converge partway up the hood.

Also, it kind of looks like the hood has cornrows.

Considering the mods already on my car a twin turbo kit is the next performance mod. The hood and bumper will be repaired in the spring. This may be an additional mod. It's ok if everyone doesn't love it. Separation from the herd of all other W211s is the point. I hate how the E55/63 look so similar to their everyday sisters. I'll still chop it together first before I pull the trigger. The cost is actually fairly minimal so it's all about whether it adds an OEM+ aggressive look.

your car looks fabulous - the hood works well primarily due to the positioning/style of the headlights

would like to try something like that on my CL550 but the design is so uninspiring it may be a waste regardless of small amount involved. Trying to find a one bar (single fin?) grille but to no avail.

Shards, you're referring to the vents? I feel like vents won't look right where C63 bumps can look OEM+.
