Someone took a band saw and went to work on the stock bumpers. I am not a fan of the end result, but to each his own.Interesting bumpers.
Your more tactful then I.Interesting bumpers.
As a non-X owner I'd like to chime in with what I hope are a few neutral observations. The bumpers don't detract from the car. As mentioned get a stock set and store them in the attic for the day of having an unmolested car. The balance is in keeping with the size of the car even if the ends are a little "blunt." The wheels don't work for me. Too great a contrast between the dark paint and the very light silver rims. Make them look too large or separate from the composition. Possibly a darker color would solve that. I don't remember the name/# but there's an X member here in Las Vegas with the BEST EVER looking rims on his car. They just bolt on/off so another simple solution. In several pics the front wheels seem to "stick out" too far. In others they look OK. The "too high" off the ground look could be helped by lowering the front only slightly IF THE wheels clear the fenders. If my 850 were finished and I again had a 6 car garage I'd be bidding so as to no longer be a step-child on the forum! After I sold my sheet metal shop I acquired Art and History teaching credentials. The "vocabulary" available to describe the balance/design impact of a glass of water could be applied here but I think "Nice Car" says it better.
No suspension mods. A/C front end is there, engine-side components are not.Bumpers can be removed or replaced. Wheels can be changed. I've asked on BAT whether the A/C is operational, and whether there are any suspension mods. I might be crazy enough to bid on this one.
Never got that far! However since requested I'll elaborate: "The composition of the aforementioned subjects is symbolic of the dynamic flow of energy throughout the Universe. What would appear to be repetitive cartouches in the central section are in fact timeless Egyptian symbols (usually associated with a name) capturing the power (red) and instability of life. The placement of even numbers in numerically ascending rows is suggestive of the endless cycle of nameless personages forever falling from the black void above toward the field of violent red below. The upward curve of the row ends is indicative of the attempt to render immortality to those nameless individuals condemned to pass to the sea of red lava below. If given names within the cartouches one might begin to become empathetic with their plight. Without this personalization we witness the society we live in as blind to individual worth. This entire composition, nay manifesto, is a cry for recognition of those nameless souls before us."
This is the kind of stuff you need to write to get a Bachelors degree at UC Davis by challenge. No, NEVER done acid, heroin, whatever else.
Seller seems a little cranky
