Looks great, RB. My X5 is Sapphire Black, but I'm afraid the skid plate will just disappear if I paint it black to match. So Titanium Silver is still the plan, though at this point I'll probably wait til closer to Spring ....

I think you are right, unless you are standing close to your X it will blend in too much. If I could use one I would see if there is a vinyl that is the color I wanted it to be. It would cost less to wrap and replace if damaged.

selling mine..still in box unopened..PM if interested
reason is im done modding the X and selling the E34

im interested..how can i get it?

Hey guys! I finally had my skid plate painted and installed and had a moment to take a quick pic. I love it. There was a lot of cleanup and stuff involved in the paint process. They had to pre-bake it 3 times to suck out all the oils which left alot of little air holes on the surface. Painted in Titan Silver with a flat clear coat They also installed it with 3 stainless steel star pattern bolts that are used on Mercedes G Suvs. :thumbup:

Also, if you look closely you can see my white german shepherd in the backseat. (dont worry the seat is covered... but white hair/black leather interior... :dunno::()

^^^Looks great!

Yes the shop did a ton of prep on mine, they had to spray the clear down extra heavy because of the air holes as well, mine came out great with a regular clear coat.

Looks nice and clean/simple!!

Well done rdeyoung. Looks great. :thumbup:

Now only if the weather gets warmer so I can install mine...

Very nice! :thumbup:

Any chance you got a picture or two more from different angles? And perhaps even a close-up of the bolts?

The reason i ask is that my X is practically identical to yours. Sterling Grey right? And i am currently debating with my self whether to paint my skid plate same color as the car, or go for Titan Silver like you did.
I'm worried if the contrast between those two are noticeable enough to make the skid plate 'stand out' from the body color.

Well the Titan Silver matches the grill mesh, personally I did body color match and happy with my choice.

Either way you'd be happy, personally I'm a body color match proponent, even on black (flat bumper contrasts with gloss black plate nicely)
