Looks beastly! I love the black on black on black... on black!

Where did you find the gloss black grilles, badging, tips etc? Was it all custom painted?

With the spacers added do you feel any difference at all (steering, handling)? And do you generally have to do a wheel alignment because of the new camber? Or is a few mm not a big deal? I just paid the stealer $150 to do it for me because when I got my 20s on (from regular 19s) from the independent shop, I don't think it was ever done.

That looks like a beast but a nice one, very tastefully done thats an excellent looking X5 you got there. Are these your wife's ideas or all your own.

Dechromed the whole truck. All badges, front grill and exhaust are gloss black along with the rear roundel as well.

You've got a special vehicle....one of a kind!!!!!!!! The only thing I can't understand is you've dechromed the whole truck including badges,grill and exhaust. My question is why would you have ordered those SS running boards? I know, I know you like them but why bother doing all the other work and having those dudes stand out like a sore thumb. They should be standard equip on a minivan. The rest of your ride is out of this world !!!!!!!

Very very nicely done.

I'm also interested to know how you de-chrome the badges. I've been trying to find a way to do mine. Did you just paint over them?

Thanks.

This X5 is your wife's or yours, it seen too testosterone-ish for a women.

How does it feel with the K&N air filter? any significant more power?

Good idea with the rear fog light for the rear camera.
