I'm having some trouble deciding if getting an M5tech front bumper (+ the lip) is in my immediate future or a jb3 + tuning tool....I feel like both mods would do wonders for my car but I can't decide which I need more now...I really love the look of the m5tech front but I'm always weary of replica parts and fitment...I also have a few extra goodies in my front bumper such as nightvision, pdc, and my laser jammer..so I am a little worried about getting it all to fit and look good. And always the only drawback of getting more power, is the likelihood that I would speed more thus increasing my chances of getting pulled over, getting hassled, increased insurance, etc. But damn power is power...What would you do in my situation?! I know this is a good problem to have! 
Thanks for any input

jb3 ftw!
I wish that there was a cheap and easy mod to the 550 that could add that kind of power bump.

and i don't see myself getting a 550 next go around, nothing against the V8...I just like versatility of an FI engine

House before M5...so perhaps an F10 M if everything goes according to plan...
