It's a shame really that such a great car would come with such a non pleasing to the eye option. Yes I realise that the hood protector is an oem option and yes it probably does its job although I've wondered why it dosen't protect the front bumper bar as well, it's like doing only half the job. Agreed on a black car it would blend in somewhat.
Something else to consider is that if the b/protector was such a cool option wouldn't the majority of members have one ?? JT///MC recently bought a 4.8 with clear bonnet protector and IMO it stands head and shoulders above the protector in question. JT's Quote: 'It does have a 3M clear bra on it so it doesn't have any rock chips on the front which was awesome' So just be aware that their are other options. I know which one I'd prefer. If you look real hard you can just make out the edge of the tape.

X5 South City,
You should have a read of this thread on the E70 forum, very interesting. http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e70-forum/...ris-dings.html Make sure you check out post #7. Note, nobody there is talking about putting on an acrylic bonnet protector to "add to the beauty of their X's", in essence everbody is endorsing the clear tape supplied by Xpel 3M Clear Bra: https://www.xpel.com/products/paint_...&submodel=6108 It's not cheap but then again neither is your car. Good luck.

dont buy it. get the 3m clear film kits they make which are great for paint protection. that bug guard is as pretty as those bras people put on their cars

I don't agree with that at all. I think it all depends on the mods already added to your X5 and of course, it's colour. Below is my Sterling Gray X5 with the Hood Protector, Running Boards and Style 214 wheels on 20's. You be the judge!!
