I have searched... I gather I need the bumper cover itself, the guides for each side, the diffuser that fits it... what I'm confused about is do I also need the molding listed as #27 here?

also the diffuser is intended to be installed unpainted correct?

Part 27 is needed it s part of what you will see I just installed lci mtech on my pre lci and I used 3m tape and it also has two holes I believe to guide it in place and just FYI I didn't buy the bumper guides I used the stock ones and it fit perfect

^ Everything he said. And yes, you could just install the diffuser unpainted. It's all personal preference.

Me neither. I bought those bumper guides and the guy who installed the bumper didn't change those, because they looked exactly same. That part 27 comes with tape at least the one i got directly from BMW had it on already.

Yeah that part 27 is needed. It's cosmetic thing and you can paint it to bodycolor or like some have painted it black like the diffuser. With diffuser you can you what you want. There are quite a few possibilities.
