A couple new things for the X

[blackbeast]

I've yet to see this on any other E53 (possibly for good reason haha) I painted the plastic mesh inserts on the front bumper bright metallic silver. Had to remove the bumper and they just clip right off. So far I think I like it. I would never do that on any other color X though...


Also scored a free pair of OE ski racks, plasti dipped the rear emblems, hood vents, and of course the wheels.

What do you guys think?

I think it looks awesome, I hope a rock never puts a hole in the mesh lol!

OE Sport package E53's had silver mesh, but it was not bright silver. I always liked the silver in my 3.0 and have considered replacing my 4.8is with it.

To RB's point, I did have a hole in mine and the silver color made it noticeable.



Last year around this time, I even screwed around in Photoshop and tried to see what the 4.8 would look like with it. I still kinda dig it...

Give it some nice contrast over the black. Probably does the same on Lemans or Imola as well. Nice work.

I think that looks really good! The grills come on and off fairly easily once you have the front bumper off the car.
