actually the 5 bumpers have been sold.. i know because i know him n have bought stuff from him in the past n spoke with him today and voiced out everyones oponion as well as mine.. and as you can see he was willing to lower the price down, but he can only bring it down so much plus this has to be the best looking front for our e60 hands down... so when i have the funds i will be putting it on my ride.. too bad he lives close by so i wont be the only one with this bumper haha jk... let the real modding begin! n lets step up the e60 game!
Ok I'm curious what ur going to do about ur PDC? And I agree that chicken wire mesh grill has to be better quality. Can u or the seller provide info on the first 5 that have been sold as to their experience with this bumper and photos of them painted and installed? A lot of people are waiting to see how the finished bumper turned out.
And does this bumper fit both LCI and Pre-LCI cars?
Thanks

Sup SIMON!! I agree and thats why I will try to meet up with him soon and see for myself how the fitment and quality of the bumper...I wanted to do this mod a while ago but got side tracked dealing with rub issues with my aggressive offset 20s and bought custom quads even though I dont have a quad rear bumper hahaha and remote controlled license plate holder and gloss black grills COMPULSIVE MODDER =( ... He told me the bumpers are currently installed on his ride but not painted due to other parts are coming in and he rather paint them all at once...and from my understanding its not all Fiberglass and theres parts that are carbon fiber so maybe thats why price is a little higher than expected? but yeah i will try to get in touch with him and see for myself and maybe take a couple of pics to show everyone. Also I heard some bad ass stuff might be on the way as well

I'd buy it for 350, without all that fake carbon fibre crap on it either. And if the intakes could be repositioned slightly lower - it looks too caricature as it is. Not chunky enough. At least CSR bumper does not lack in that dept, AND uses original bumper grilles on the sides, so that's two points.
The PDC holes shouldn't be too hard to cut out.

Otherwise, only hardcore modders will buy it. Which is cool too, I guess

Ehh....I'm going to have to pass on this. I don't want a bumper that is prone to crack if I just happen to be unlucky.
You can pick up them up for an E90 for between $500 and $750. I understand they're more available for the E90 though. Even then, most people with nicer cars are steering away from fiberglass bumpers. Who knows though.
There are just too many things that don't sit well. I mean, if you're going to be charging $1k, at least use real CF....and I'm with the Russian on the grills. That's just my opinion. I do wish the OP good luck with his endeavors. I always like seeing people being successful.
Maybe in a few months or a year we'll be buying a higher quality version of this for a better price!

LOL GB for those who have too much money?

At least CSR bumper does not lack in that dept, AND uses original bumper grilles on the sides, so that's two points.

Yeah, it is a great-looking bumper, but it is cheaply made. It's a great design, but to my eye it has some major flaws, like placement of the intakes. And don't even get me started on the grilles. I'm not saying the guy didn't put any work into it - it's a GREAT looking bumper. But I think that 1. it should be cheaper, and 2. there are a couple of things that should be improved to make it worth the investment (even after a significant reduction).
Otherwise, only hardcore modders will buy it. Which is cool too, I guess![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

I'm not trying to knock anyone down, I love the design. I really do.
