I plan on getting an S5 rear bumper with a corksport front bumper (which is a series 5 style bumper). The only trim that will be left is the side markers which will be painted to match.

Love,
Seth

Dont fill it, dont remove it, just leave it there, stock, if anything u could paint it the same color as your car, but its too troublesome/gay to do anythign else

Seth - you do know that the sidemarker supports (where you screw them into) is on the metal, not on the trim, right? Take a look at my car, I removed the trim and filled it over. I didn't have any trouble securing my lights.. If you're going to do something like that, go all the way.

I wouldn't just buy an S5, they're heavier.. Don't just bondo it either, that would add alot of weight, crack, and look like ****. Personally, I'm just going to color match my trim..
