    skid plate

    Does anyone have a source for this? There's somebody making reps but I've been told the turn around time is awful.

    Any suggestions on an alternative add on to put in place in case I can't find the one I want?

    Its no longer made, that is why we are getting replica's made on the outpost.

    Other option is to put 4.6iS front spoiler on ($430 + paint) but your X will look silly without matching rear spoiler (#500 plus paint)

    You'll be searching for a while. The last one in North America was sold over a year ago. None in Canada or European markets as well. Trust me I did the search end of last year.

    If you don't want to get in on the replica plate buy then go for the 4.6iS kit

    I would take the rep but some are saying that orders from earlier this year...like around match...still haven't been fulfilled. Do you know if there is any truth behind that?

    There is a running thread on another forum for the skid plates. It looks like no one has received theirs yet

    Yes, I'm on the group buy list and no orders have been fulfilled yet. I'm a little PO'ed about it but what can I do. The guy making them is a true stand up reputation on M5Board and E39 forums, so I doubt he would pick our group to start screwing over.
