well, if you care so much about that, why didn't you ask them to refund your money and cancel the bid with them? IMHO, they didn't have to offer you anything if you're okay with waiting. So, $10 gift card for $30 item you ordered sounds pretty generous to me. would you be happier if they didn't offer you that $10 gift card?

Whoa, big fella!! Maybe a little decaf would be good!

I have said repeatedly, and to the seller, that I appreciated the offer. What I still don't understand is what good it can do me when they have nothing else for me to buy. Can you answer that for me? Or, tell you what, you order something from them, and use my $10 gift card, with my blessing!

Wow.

Wow.

thank you for your generosity transferring that discount to me. however, I believe that I got everything I wanted already. I bought the cluster rings and angel eyes from them. I love my 4.4 grilles than their whole chrome grilles. I don't think they have anything else for my X now.

FYI on the rings install- I helped GUINNESS out with his gauge rings today and had a hard time with cleaning the inside of the gauge cluster clear plastic. Use a lint-free cloth when you clean the inside, and maybe a high powered vacuum wouldn't hurt either before you put the cluster back together.

I just got mine today and just finished installing those cluster rings. I also bought them from Bavarianwerk off Ebay as well and got them in just 5 days --> best Ebay shipping experience. I also got the chrome kidney grilles. They look great. One thing: do your rings look a little "dirty" around the inner but visible part of the rings? I tried to clean them off with Windex window cleaner but they don't come off.

I also see that you guys have clear front corner signal light and angle eyes head lights. Does anybody care to share where they got them and how to install them? Thanks much, guys.

I am the friggin' lord of the rings. Helped a friend of mine install his on his '05 CARBON BLACK X5 today (damn it looks good on the X), didn't have to shave any of the plastic at all, the rings just snapped right in.

I might have to take you up on that

JV, how did the rings look on? I'm gonna have to swing by there soon to check it out. And I'm telling you, get the 3 Xs together for a shoot.

So what is the least expensive anyone has found these for???

I see them on ebay for $29 plus $9 shipping!

I agree with JVZ104. This is an easy mod to do. Did mine in about 20mns all together. The only part a little bit tricky is to take the gauge cluster apart.
