Silver Grey - Body Kit Fitted

Thanks! I agree with you on the split exhaust, but not sure if there's such after market option.... and it would need some mod on the rear bumper.

Pardon my English... what do you mean? or is this a joke ("clear bar")?

LOL - I can see how you would think this is a joke if you are not familiar with the product - guess I assumed most people know what a clear bra is. No, it's not a joke. A clear bra is simply a protective film that covers the front of your vehicle up to a few inches on the hood. Covers the bumper, front of hood, lower apron if it's painted (like yours) perhaps the side mirrors, and whatever else you want to be protected from kicked-up stones and debris on the highway. The product does a great job protecting from small chips and the like... It's almost like a thick layer of clear coat that you can barely see at all. Lots of discussions about it on the board - do a search on "3M" or "clear bra" and you'll find lots of info. Google would work too. There are several manufacturers and I believe 3M is among the best. I wish I got it on my car before I drove it as I do have a few minor chips on the front end now after 15,000 miles... Good luck & hope this helps!

A "clear bra" (as in brassiere) is a clear, plastic film that is installed on the nose of the car to protect it from chipping. As you know, little rocks are always kicking up on the highway (usually from other cars), hit your hood and chip your paint. A clear bra helps prevent this kind of damage. When done correctly, the "bra" is almost not noticeable, which is why it is also often referred to as "invisible" or "clear" bra.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for the info on the "Bra"

I think I'll pass this one. There are very few highways here and are pretty well maintained... hardly see any big trucks around either. Also, knowing the workmanship here for window tinting is only average (my friend had to bring in the car three time to get the tinting done right), I'm not sure if they can do a good job putting the bra on!

Thanks again for the info.

That's because, like me, most men only have experience in taking those things off!

I just saw your X3 and I wanna say it looks SWEET!!!!!!!

[broknlgs24]

u know, to me, it looks a little like the Z3 Coupes, but obviously a little taller.
either way, i like the look.
what ever happened to the Z3 Coupe/M Coupe or whatever it was called?

[BigO1120]

I hate to say it...but it kind of does.

[simoncpw]

Thanks Guys!

I agree on the Z3 Coupe.... in fact if you meet the beast in person, it looks very much like a Blown up hatch back! I'm still toying the idea of adding the "Roof Rail" to add a little be more SAV look. What d'you guys think?
