Looks good. I'm leaning toward having a body shop paint mine titanium silver and clear coat, but would be happy to use a less expensive solution if anyone has one that will hold up . . . .

Yeah I'm also looking to have mine sprayed BMW Titan Silver 354. My X is already Titan Silver and the more I see other X's with the "Titan Line" painted mirror trims, door handles, and hood grilles, the more I think I'd like to do the Titan Line retrofit for a cleaner, more updated look. But that makes me contemplate (pardon the pun) that the skid plate needs to be more of a brighter aluminum or stainless steel so I'm not overkill on Titan Silver and have some offset. In which case the Plasticdip looks tempting since the one is the photo looks very good. At least if I don't like it and or doesn't hold up I can remove the coating and then have it sprayed.

Kristophe your X should look similar to tmv's, if already Titan Silver it should already have door handles, mirror caps, and grilles are separate (although cheap, I bought my set for $80), but I dont think tmv's example is an overkill on Titan Silver at all.

I really need to get one of these. Tmv's prefacelift X5 is nearly exactly what I want.

I would really look into plasti dip because it is just so easy to replace if it gets scraped.

Get in on the group buy

TMV's TS X does look sweet with the skidplate.

Whoop Whoop I just received an invoice from Slimbones!

Riggodeaux 09-25-2014 02:26 PM

Me, too. its in the form of a paypal request from Richard Hagen, reporting a ship date of 9/29/14. I assume the paint experience worked well?

Ricky Bobby 09-25-2014 02:52 PM

Got my invoice as well, will pay within 24 hours.

I'm excited to get my original back hahaha
