Successful bumper swap story (with pics)...

[genemish]

So I am turning in my 2010 X5 (lemon'd) on Monday 1/10/2011 and wanted to sell the aero kit and the hitch (http://www.xoutpost.com/classifieds/...-lci-sold.html).... after negotiating the sale , Justin from NC came up to NJ (during a snowstowm) and earlier today we had Marc at Marc Motors in Madison NJ perform the bumper swap and hitch install.

Mad props to Justin for making the 550+ mile one way trip on his 20's in the snow... hope you get home safe tonight buddy.

Mad props to Marc for taking on the project and performing excellent work in 5 hours!

And finally some props to Nautilus diner in Madison NJ for letting us hang out for 5+ hours while only having breakfast.. We did get plenty of dirty stares and finally the manager asked us to vacate the booth and then politely asked to order or leave..

Below are some pics from the beginning of the project.. Justin was too busy to take pics of the end product and had to start driving back .... Justin, please post some pics later.. (My car has the NJ plate and 19's. Justin's car has no front plate and 20's.)

Justin, Marc .. if you feel like chiming in on the experience, please do so.

Overall, very pleased with the whole experience and glad a fellow X5'er was able to get a great deal on the Aero Kit and Hitch rather than giving it to the dealer.
