What did you do to your X5 today?

is it yellowing? Probably still serves its purpose well. I had PPF but only on the front fenders and part of the hood. no idea why they didnt cover at least the whole hood.

Doesn't seem to be yellowing yet… I'm assuming that's an indication that it's gone bad?

It just gets unsightly. might start lifting at some edges. It will still protect the paint better than not having it.

Had the Power Stop Z23 brakes install today front and back with new sensors . Loving it so far...

Two weeks ago I installed H&R spacers from RG sport. 5mm front and 12mm rear. I didn't want it too aggressive with 15s front and back.

HR makes a 13mm rear spacer they claim is the correct size made specifically for the f85.
I got them, I think they poke beyond flush 1mm(?) See pic on page 2 of this thread.

Thanks for the info.

Obviously would depend on what wheels you're running, whether you have adjustment after lowering etc. With my aftermarket wheels, I'm running 25s in the rear and 20s up front. Btw I've not lowered my car yet, the springs are sitting in my garage…

Good thing you have PPF protection! That front poke would leave some serious road rash without. Looks sick, best color too lol

[9vapors]

Yup, hopefully lowering it and adding some camber will fix that, but probably not. But with PPF being so cheap (here at least, like $300) for rocker panels and more, I'm not sure why everyone doesn't do it

Finally got my H&r VTF installed. Waiting on a couple of missing clamps to wrap up the Akra cat-back, and the rear BBK kit from DentPro Tony. Fingers crossed on getting it all done by Weds.

Nice parts list! Did you install the VTF yourself?

Yup.. Not too difficult when you have on a quick jack or get both front wheels off the ground at the same time. Helps to have a 2nd pair of hands to assist on taking out and putting back the strut assembly back in the car.

No, those are the horrible factory red reflectors I wrapped then grilled, plastic coated aluminum. I fabricate/customize Harley stuff mostly. I just made a grill to cover the weird honeycomb rear diffuser, I'll post a pic.
