I agree with those who said leave it as it is. Spend your $$ on a more useful mod.

Yeah it would be around $4k total. I'm really considering it but not sure if I wanna lose that "tough" front end and side profile look + the 87s might not match the facelifted front end that well.





I plan on keeping this X5 for a long time with no intention of trading it in any time soon. I'd like to put the money in other mods but think everything else is complete on it. I figure I can sell some of the prefacelift parts (sport xenon headlights, bumper w/ 4.6is spoiler etc..)to get some of the money back. I will definitely keep you guys posted!

I think 87s still look great on facelifted Xs. I love this X! :

I'd be interested in the 4.6is front spoiler if you do facelift (I'm guessing the rear stays?). In the future, I'm hoping mine will look more or less like yours does now

If I facelift the truck, you get first dibbs. But the rear spoiler will be staying.

Only my 2 $cents, she is a beaut, but trade on a 4.8is, would be the way, honestly.
