Did you go from an m5 rep with fogs to an OEM m5 bumper and then retrofit fogs on that? If so, why? Is there that much of a difference?

im aware of the foglight vs no foglight difference. What I meant was, is there a huge difference that you noted in terms of styling. I have the rep on my car, but havnt compared side by side.
