Pics of my Hartge X5 with ADV shoes

Just wanted to post pics of my 08 x5 that my buddy took this morning,

Here are a list of the simple mods

  • Full Hartge Kit
  • 22" ADV1 7's
  • Color matched front reflector and side sills
  • Custom exhaust
  • Lowered


Special thanks to JBarr Studios and Jordan @ ADV1.

Comments/criticisms welcomed.

Nice!

On a side not I see that you have the same rear bumper issue that many of us have been complaining about (clips popping off).

Since you did ask for comments/criticism...

I like the overall look they (Hartge) are trying to achieve with the body kit. However the quality, fabrication, material used and fitment just leaves a lot to be desired. There are uneven gaps just about everywhere. Was this kit installed professionally? It could be either a poorly made kit or poorly installed. Not sure if it's fiberglass but it clearly looks like it was bolted on and the paint finish does not match the vehicle color. When you paint metal and plastic the same color they don't look the same. One little ding in the parking lot and that bumper will crack!

On the positive side, absolutely love those wheels! And some nice photography...

Not to be harsh but there is some poor fitment with the body kit.

Wheels are .

Very agressive on that first pic. The only fitment issue I see is the where the rear bumper meets up with the hatch and that pic in the right front corner where the black seam isn't perfect. All in all though, still an awesome setup, stance and wheel package.
