Quicksilver will become famous soon enoughQuicksilver will become famous soon enough
When it's installed does it work?
Clear bra is very expensive.
Either way, your choice

It definitely works I can see the stone pits to prove it. The only thing is if the clear bra gets dinged it still looks like its on the hood. The clear bra is a rip off as far as price, buts seems to be a neccesary evil if you want that perfect front. I'll just have to gamble(X fingers) and put it back on for the long drives .

If I put it on ( I don't have one yet)
It would blend in perfectly.

Does it scratch anything with the
install, or staying mounted?

What color is your X? No install clips or screws touch the actual paint in the hood there are clear button cushions and adhesive pads that goes between the protector and the hood.

Yes it works.
The prices in link are list. You can negotiate a better deal with installers, and these days its even better deals as they barely get any business.

I'd leave it OFF.

Since the X5 is my winter car I don't mind the stone chips (a dozen more from last season)... adds character.

If the X5 is your baby I can see how you could be concerned.

Definitely without the hood protector for me.

And if you do go for titanium silver grill, you might want to go black for the outline of the grill (that is currently chrome). Have a go first on photoshop or just use black tapes before actually painting it to see how it turns out first.
