DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD SOURCE FOR THESE???

So far the best dealer price I have found is about $1500... Better than $1700+ list price, but YIKES!

A few days ago, a guy on this forum told me he would sell me his used one for $700. While we were working out shipping details, I asked for photos to verify the condition.... all of a sudden, he totally stopped responding to me???

I think I have settled with keeping the stock 4.6is flares and keeping it original (as in the pre-facelift version)... with blacked out kidneys and (hopefully) adding the underride protection ...sort of a version of the car in the video, but in "IS" form instead of the aero kit.

...NOW, does anyone know where to get the underride protection???
(new or used?)

My vision of what my car should look like includes this part (underride protection); I have got to have one, but I can't stomach $1500+ for this.

Can anyone help me, PLEASE???

Thanks!!!

Love the graphite rims, but only that. No facelift, its hard to sell it later...
Just my opinion, sorry.

Yes, I considered that... I have come to the conclusion that the best option is to keep it as close to original as possible. I'm even thinking of changing my headlights and taillights back to OEM.

Unlike a radical change that will cost thousands and will never offer an ROI, I have decided to accomplish simple things that can easily be reversed and will not upset the value of the vehicle.

Today, I put a black kidney grille in place of the titanium grille and it totally changed the attitude. It gave the X a more menacing look. This was a simple two-minute (reversible) changeover.... for only $50! I love it. The next item will be that elusive underride protection (If I can ever get my stinkin' hands on one! ). It bolts on and can also be removed.

Once that is done, I will take a step back and decide on whether or not to go with the graphite rims...

BTW....I saw a (brand new) black M3 the other day that had the OEM graphite rims and it looked pretty sweet.
