Custom Rear Bumper *PIC INSIDE*

Sorry, it's not made. But my question is, what do you guys think I should do? I've shown this photoshop I did to a few people, but here are my options.
  1. Custom bumper.
  2. Wait for a vendor to come out with a bumper, something clean and not overly aggressive.
  3. Get an 03/04 bumper and put a rear lip on it.

The custom bumper will cost roughly $1k before paint. A vendor's bumper I'm guessing will cost half that. The 03/04 with rear lip would be about half that as well, possibly more than a vendor's bumper since I would have it molded.

Anyway, I did mention "PIC INSIDE" so here is the chop I did months and months ago.



I originally wanted to keep this on the hush and just do it, but I would like some input. I'm still leaning towards the custom bumper because my front is custom and as most of you know, I don't like doing the norm. I'd also be doing the quad exhaust. Posting this in the general section as well to get an idea from non-sedan owners as well to see their thoughts.

Thanks Dustin...you're actually right, comes from a W219 (CLS).

I'm considering just going the custom route. Cost is actually a lil less probably than I had mentioned, about a $250 difference from doing an 03/04 with rear lip.

ANYWAY

levon i dont have any intention of making or copying this rear for all those who might think that, if you wanna release it or something you can pm me and i'd be more than willing to help if you want....
