yes!! very important..when you install the skid plate the rear or should I say furthest away from the front part will mount easily with hardware that is already on the X5..you will see the screws needed to take off and then put back on while fastening the skid plate...That is pretty straight forward.....The KEY! when drilling the three holes for the front...be sure not to drill your three holes to big. Be very careful in sizing up how big holes need to be... You will be using the hardware that comes with the skid plate. I would start by drilling the holes a tad small to be safe..should they be to big then you will not be able to fasten the front..without being creative..
