Which Rear Bumper Should I merge to the OEM one?
I am considering merging either of the following bumpers:
1. E39 BMW M5 Rear bumper (with the black diffuser)
2. GS350 Rear Bumper (with the black diffuser)
To avoid unnecessary responses, note that this is not a thread to discuss if you don't like the idea.

I say BMW too.
I think your overall design goal for your car should play a roll here too though. Sporty and aggressive - go BMW. All luxury - go with the Lex....change to sporty and do the BMW bumper.

So far I have the following in the works:
1. Aristo front bumper with molded TTE lip, and black lower grill
2. Q45 Retrofitted headlights wtih body colored bezels
3. Body Color L-Tuned Grill with center bar removed, black mesh and chrome L
4. Crystal Clear Fogs
5. LED Tail Lights
6. Trunk only has the L Badge on it
7. Current Wheels are G35 18s, but will eventually upgrade to a different set
Will more than likely get L-Tuned Side Skirts, and LS600 Mirrors

I am going for an overall combination that fits well together. The difference will be that whatever rear I go with, no one else is going to have the exact same combination of mods that I will have at the end of the build.
The car will have plenty of other things going on to differentiate itself from the rest.
The bigger concern to me is what will give off a more subtle look AND also fit in best with the lines of the body.

Given what you've got going with the rest of the car I would go with the GS350, imo the BMW would stand out in a slightly gaudy way compared to the more subtle mods on the rest of the car. It would flow better with an aggressive front bumper and sides.

I respect wanting to be different, but I am not overly concerned with doing one mod simply to be different. If that was the case any bumper could be done even the Pontiac Aztec rear bumper lol. Not meaning to sound sarcastic, just using it as an example.

All kidding aside, I would go with neither. IMO isF or LS460 bumper > all
If I had to choose one, I would go with the GS350
