Strange...That just shows how much you know. That's an OEM accessory, for real, you can even ask Osama.

Being an OEM accessory does not mean it looks nice!

... and I don't know what does Osama have to do with this issue?!

I LOVE MODDING!!!!!!!

But, there are two things I dont see the sense of when it comes to modding the X:

-Removing the roof rails?

The roof rails are a part of the ''design'' of these cars, and when removed they leave the holes (which many plugs with plastic plugs)
Why not just get a 5 series station wagon? It rides better as well.......

I did this mod myself, on an Audi RS2 (european Audi made by Porsche), but I did the whole 9 yards, welded up the holes and had the car painted. But this is a VERY different type of car.......

-Lowering the car?

It's an SUV, and its supposed to have some ground clearance. The biggest + about these cars is that you sit high up and have a good view.......
If you want a sports car, buy one...... the X will never be a sports car, no matter how much you lower it.....
Again, why not just get a 5 series station wagon? It rides better as well.......

just my 2 cents, and this is not meant to upset anyone who has done these mods.
