Personally, I think it would be a bit much for the kidney grills given their prominence and you'd also have to figure out what to do for the hood release that you need to access through the slats when opening the hood.

What I'd like to do on my '04 is replace the lower OEM plastic mesh with real mesh - perhaps with a semi-transparent black anodized finish on my Sapphire Black X. Now that would be hot! There's a company called RaceMesh that'll do this for us, but they'll need some OEM samples to copy. They already have them for several other BMW models but I haven't seen them on their web site for the X5. I wonder it there would be enough interest in this for a group buy?
