The M5Tech bumper packages we sell are unique in that they keep the factory fogs while still giving you the aggressive factory M5 Aero look.

OE M Aero package will most likely not be the same price as the replacement cost of standard bumpers.
The insurance can either pay you to get the parts and you pony up the rest or pay the shop and they pony up the rest.
You'll most likely have to pay the difference.

Could you confirm what I've read in previous threads... you'll loose the ability to use the air ducts?
Thanks!

M5 style front bumper looks a bit more aggressive than M-Tech. I, for one, don't think the differences are dramatic. I think that the differences are subtle.

You don't permanently lose them. You can use the M5 brake ducts or rig up your existing ones - they don't meet exatly.

Think it would be possible to rig up some 3" flex tubing instead? I think the stock brake ducts are pretty puny.
