Anyone used the non OE M sport bumpers?

Really wanting a M sport front bumper on my 550, Ive seen a lot of the OE reproduction stuff that insurance companies and such use that guarantee "97%" fitment, but I cant seem to find any good threads or reviews on the quality and fit from a perspective of someone besides the company selling them. I can handle small flaws, but I dont want to buy one, have it fitted and painted, then see wavy curves, gaps, or big body line issues.

Anyone have pics of theirs?

Here you go! I still have to reinstall the new foam bumper support (between the rebar and bumper cover) and the lower M adapter under the bumper.
at first there was a slight gap between the right side of the right headlamp and bumper. kind of settled in. The window washer covers are probably the only PITA. When i remove the cover again I will fit them in better. I thinnk i put the levers on the wrong side. who knows. But I love it!
