The more and more I look at the chrome strip that accents the top of the whole bumper on my C, they more I might think the car would look better without it there. I have a minor (but noticable enough to be replaced) ding in the bumper and the chrome strip anyways, so I'm going to have to get a new bumper/chrome trim which my dealer says is gonna cost me upwards of $800. I was wondering if I could perhaps replace the bumper with a base model bumper or something? I plan on adding rectangular exhaust tips which wouldnt look right with the exhaust cut outs on the C bumper anyways. Only problem I have is that i currently have rear back up sensors and would like to keep them.
Does anyone know if i can interchange a base model or touring bumper on my C then cut out holes for the back up sensors? Or any other ideas on how to achieve a chrome-less bumper?

You should be able to change them, you would have to drill holes in the bumper so the sensor can still sit in there. Any good body shop should be able to do this for you. Although you might want to do a test fit or something 1st with the exaust to make sure it clears the bumper.
