I think it will and over time just create more opportunities for rust to start forming, especially since salty winter elements will undoubtedly find their way under it. |

The top of the bumper is the first part that gets dirty on my cars and it drives me crazy. This mod makes it two parts that you can't keep clean. You, sir, are a masochist.

Personally, as of right now I like it. Changes the look from any other X5 in my area.

I found a company on Ebay that sells a urethane version, unpainted, but white in pictures. EDIT: got the one from Ebay. Heavy and not as pictured. Might send it back. Has the high sides. I removed the link.. Not happy! I'm going to try the above version.. Last edited by 1norseman; 01-21-2019 at 03:09 PM.. Reason: removed the URL... Ebay item not as described.. |

I'm waiting to hear back from the seller. If they don't change the main picture, I will have to leave a bad review. Nonetheless, I'm considering keeping it, and reshape it, then try to make my own out of fiberglass or carbon fiber. Got a buddy with experience in carbon fiber parts, could be a fun project. More to follow, but really disappointed in the part I received. |

Here it is.
Not a quality piece at all. Brand name AeroFunction or AF. Covers about 1/2" of the bottom of the rear door glass. Sits level, so no need for drain (if you caulk against the glass, not happening) Made to be glued on, no space for double adhesive tape, to cover edge of it. I'm thinking with a few hrs of work, I should be able to improve on the design. Cut down the tall ends, make it slightly less deep for better fit without touching the glass etc. (or maybe it ends up in the scrap pile) Will need "longboard" treatment, seeing the lines are not perfect straight. Going to wait for warmer weather, and once I have it shaped the way I want it, I might try to make a CF copy. Though that will depend on how frustrated I am with the project at that time.. haha Last edited by 1norseman; 01-22-2019 at 01:05 PM.. |

The one you wanted was basically just a flat pierce that slightly curved upwards right? Does it follow the body line of the trunk?

The lower edge follows the body line/bend that is a few inches below the window glass. So lower edge looks ok, but upper edge should not be against the glass, too high IMO. Also, correct, I wanted a flatter profile. The curved up sides looks like crap, IMO. Thus my thinking of trying to reshape it, and remove 1/2" to 1" from both edges, make it smaller, so it mounts against metal/paint only. Won't stick out as far, which is ok. But looks like it could be made to still follow the body lines, which is what I wanted. |

Maybe if you are able to reshape it a bit it may make a good mold. If mine followed the bottom body line, it would have fit perfectly.
