Question so at this point since i have a 2006 4.8IS... i have rear IS flares but no real flares up front right?
so people look into purchasing the "lemans" edition flares for the front only and that looks more matching to the rear flares? these parts i would find and purchase? Quote:
when i look at the rear of a X5 with Lemans Flares, it looks like the rear flares are also wider? or maybe have a different piece toward the bottom bumper area that almost look like a mudflap? there are so many different pieces to these cars its insane i cant keep up with them.

LeMans rear flares are the same on every 4.8is. Not quite sure what you are seeing. But yes, you can also add mudflats.

only thing is now i dont have running boards but plan on adding them later. i want to get the flares now since my dealer can get them so i guess ill just gave to hold off on installing them until i get my running boards.. if i try to install them now with out running boards it looks like i'll have to cut some tabs off that are requires for the running boards later on. |

i just placed an order at my local dealer for those front flares came out to $628 with tax. im curious.. why did 4.6 and 4.8is only come with rear flares and none on the front? but when you look up the part#s 51 71 7 049 867 -- FLARED WHEEL ARCH, FRONT LEFT ------- 1 51 71 7 049 868 -- FLARED WHEEL ARCH, FRONT RIGHT ------ 1 they come up on ECS website as 4.6/4.8is flares as if tey were supposed to have come on those cars? were they euro only flares that didnt come on the USA models? |

I thought front flares were nla? Which dealer can get them?
Also, while I appreciate the ingenuity of trimming the tabs off the flares to save cutting the slits in the OE arches and putting in rivets, I would think it would seriously devalue the front arches having their tabs trimmed. At least for me it would. I would want to install them properly.

later on when i get running boards, i WILL have to cut the tabs on the flares since the wheel arches the flares are mounted on are meant for NON running board setup... and if that the case then im better off just going ahead and cutting the tabs off right now since i will eventually have to do it anyways with the running board kit install since it comes with different wheel arches to mate with the actual running boards and then mount the modded front flares with screws to the running board wheel arches. does that sound correct? my flares came in today at local dealer and i picked them up so im looking forward to getting home to install them. |
