Bumpers are a grey area with German Look as far as I am concerned.

Any bumper that adds the function of safety is going to have weight. Standard bumpers by their very design stick out. Carbon fiber bumpers are strictly for show as they would explode under any meaningful impact. No one makes a carbon-kevlar hybrid.

At least the bumper cover eliminates the space between bumper and body. That should aid some in aerodynamics even if its lower profile and rounded features do not.

I have trouble believing the cover weighs 100 pounds. Being on the front, it should help the percentage of weight distribution front-to-back.
