Wow!!nice! Is that hard to install?

No I have a buddy in Spanaway that charges me a few bucks to install these

Taran.J · 09-21-2015, 11:02 AM

Just did the paddle install this morning with the help of r33_RGSport online PDF. A hell of a lot better than the M sport ones. No more chunky paddles

Taran.J · 09-21-2015, 11:03 AM

A pic showing the difference of both

Taran.J · 09-21-2015, 11:05 AM

It's not very intuitive app but if you click on the red circle with 1 attachment again it allows you to attached additional pictures.

Go to Taran.J house and grab it.

Let me know if you want it. I have 2 more sets in stock.
I also have my own design the extended one.
Here is the picture with custom coloring on the + / - sign.

Yeah Bruce I can help you install it too if you need to.

Taran.J · 09-29-2015, 12:26 AM

Not hard at all. Just pulled up. Three torq screws for Idrive and unplugged the buttons on the left and it was free

Taran.J · 11-16-2015, 10:31 PM

Night time vinyl work. Finish off my roof finally been long enough

Taran.J · 11-17-2015, 01:11 AM

Finished... smoked the third brake light too.

Will snap a pic tomorrow. Looks good IMO

Taran.J · 11-17-2015, 07:09 PM

Some day time pics of the roof finished up

Alan l. · 11-18-2015, 07:53 AM

I would have left the side part of the trunk door white. From the back view it looks fine but the side profile shot makes the rear window shape of the X5 appear more slanted than normal and as a result makes it look less brawny to me.

Just my 2cents.

I know what you mean, I debated over that for this long too, it wasn't meant to be wrapped in the first place but it works in person since the main roof portion was already done.

Kzang · 11-18-2015, 08:20 AM

Taran, This is just my opinion only, so take it with a grain of salt

I agree with Alan's thoughts.. and I'm not a fan of roof wraps on a SUV especially since you can barely see the roof. Also since your front splitter (visually) is gloss black and the rear diffuser is carbon fiber that mismatch pattern looks awkward and doesn't tie/connect together seamlessly. Perhaps from a distance you can't really tell but people who are interested in looking at your car will be up close and personal
