So im still on my search for a M5 rear bumper, i came across a websight called prior design. They have the m5 rear, it says call for price .odd. Im going to give them a call tomorrow.
i was just wandering if any one has used them before?

Their products are made of fiberglass, so I don't recommend them.

It's not BAD, it is lighter and more workable than polyurethane.

The negatives of fiberglass parts are that it can crack and it almost always requires additional surface prep-work by the body shop before painting. Otherwise the end result is a paint job with a "wavy" reflection.
