Completed Flares and a bit more

After months of hassle with my dealer telling me it was impossible to install flares on my 4.4. They actually tried convincing me that my X had the flares I wanted, what gives
Anyway, these are the stages my X went through. After finally finishing off the flares, I went for the 4.8 lower bumper trim because it turned out I didn’t have to change the rear bumper. After the doing the flares and trim, the rear was just begging for the 4.8 exhaust tips.

I know the pics could be better, I promise to take nicer pics soon.

Looks awesome, now you need to do the 4.8 front bumper spoiler too. That will complete the look.

Or a cheaper option would be the decorative front skid plate...
I have the 4.8is kit as well but in Toledo Blue. It doesn't make too big of a difference in the darker colors... I don't really think it is worth the money and trouble.

Yeah, I really want to get the front bumper. I've also thought about the front skid plate and that might look really cool. I'm going to be patient ans see what happens.

benathon, did you change your bumpers?

Is that 315s you have in the back? Or maybe the flares are playing tricks on my eyes, but those tires looked a bit skinny to be 315.

Yup, those are 315's on the back. The pics do make them look narrower but in real life looks good.
Some members use spacers but I'll pass for now.

No need to thanks . You have the nicest color combo, the better loooking wheels, SP, R.boards and in top of that a very clear cabin helped by beige leather and the fabulous moonroof (i belive that´s the name of it).
This is the perfect X and it shows you´re a man of good taste.
Could you post some pics of the interior. Thanks.

This site helped me choose my X. The guys at the dealers are shocked everytime I come in requesting a new mod. Turns out my X is the first to do the flares mod in Poland

As requested, pics of my interior taken last year.
