I fixed the pic now.

Well at least I got to crush everybody's dreams about cheap flares. I was going to say the ones that I posted were well rather ugly, so I was wondering WTF you guys were going to put those on your X's for and that's why they are probably on sale.

But then you wanted the 4.8is flares, I should have guessed......

The running boards and supports are one piece. There's nothing else to remove. Check out the DIY on the homepage for pics and link on install (so you get an idea how to remove it).

The rubber grommets are the ones you'd have to remove one by one I guess ... that would be too painful!

I usually just clean them with a damp towel. I don't know about polishing them ... they're anodized.

Newest MOD - X-Pipe.. very nice.. gotta admit the 4.8 itself has a nice exhaust note that i love every time i start it.. i hear the subtle difference once in a while with the X-Pipe.. not overpowering.. just a slightly louder purr... grow.. sorry no video sound.. but here's the equivalent to my reaction:

That was hilarious!

Back on topic ... the Dyer's 8-71 blower is about to go on but my mechanic said it might take a bit longer to adapt to the BMW motor - as its designed for Detroit muscle.

I can't wait to hear the sound of that thing, not to mention it sticking outta the custom carbon fibre hood I just got for it. I'm still debating whether I need to tub it out or maybe wait until after I add the 150 shot of nitrous.

What do you guys think. Should I have just gone with the add-on rear-mounted dual turbos for supercharging or do you think the Dyer's was a good choice?
