We are really happy with the choice. Definitely a unique color and we don’t see many on the road. At first we were concerned that maybe we should go with a more traditional color (black, white, grey) but we decided to roll the dice. No regrets and we get a lot of compliments because it’s so unique. In our opinion, the black m-sport package really works well with MGM. |

I installed the spoiler. There are a number of threads in the forum with some tutorials that did a good job of explaining it. I also used the video below as a reference on how to remove the current one. Overall it was a pretty easy. I had the front lip installed by the performance shop at the same time they were doing my springs and spacers. It looked like a more challenging effort so I took the easy way out and let the pro’s do it. |

Ride quality is great. I’ve lowered other cars so I’m use to a slightly stiffer ride. When we got the X5 (with the 22” wheels and no air suspension) I actually thought it was a little “floaty” for my taste. I’m sure other would say it rides very luxurious.
The springs firmed up the ride a bit, but in a good way. Little more road feel and less body roll. Feels more planted than before. It’s my wife’s primary vehicle and she didn’t seem to notice the change (or at least didn’t complain about it) so I would say it’s subtle enough that she couldn’t tell the difference, but changed it enough that I feel the improvement. Been about 2 mos since it’s been lowered and the spacers added and I have ZERO regrets. Ride is still great and it looks SO GOOD! I agonized over the decision for months and very happy I decided to move forward. |

I have the same Manhatten grey metalic X5 with Mpsort package and 22 inch wheels at my local dealer. Do you still like that color? Easy to keep clean? |

Looking good! Long time Lexus family here as well. Skeptical when switching to X5 and wife asked why we didn't switch sooner. I have a question about your option. Did you get M professional? I see you have black grille but not the mirror. I've seen some like this and others with both black grilles and black mirrors.

I put a ceramic coat on it so even when dirty it still looks pretty good. I think the color masks any dirt pretty well. |

It does have the M-Professional package. But I modded the mirrors and added the black m-sport mirror caps. The original mirror caps were MGM color. The black makes it look more aggressive. |
