I am also new to the site and to having an X altogether. I bought a 2006 X5 for the wife, however I like driving it more than my new car. Where exactly did you find the front skid plate? I really like your set-up. I also had planned to put the exhaust tips on hers, however the only place I found them was on ebay for $400. Did you find a better price? Thanks in advance....Jamie
