Bumper add-ons to make the car look more aggressive?

What mods or things can I do to my stock non-sport bumper (front and rear) to make my car look more aggressive? I know most of you guys will say change the bumper, but I want to see if there are "add-ons" that you can just tack on.
CF splitters? Any other ideas?

Aero lip is your best bet. I'm in the process of getting one painted for my Monaco Blue car. I'll post some pics when it's done.

I have a feeling I'm just going to wind up getting an M Sport bumper in the future, though.

I recently bought a 2009 E92 in Space Gray. I think the OEM aero lip looks best IMO.

front bumper as others have said go with an aero lip. also getting black kidney grilles and changing the mesh grilles to black makes it look more aggressive. i don't think there is much you can do to the rear bumper but if you get different exhaust it fills the gap better and makes the rear look more aggressive.

aero lip/Splitters or a Front lip spoiler.

rear, not much. You can add on a CF diffuser for regular non-msport bumpers.

Yea but IMO that diffuser is too small and looks weird. I plan on making a template to replicate the dimensions of the MTECH diffusers and plastidipping it.
