(You cant apply stone guard until paint cures from what Im told)

For those having this work done to your X5, X6 M package cars make sure you get the same set up. If they paint your existing fender flares you will just have stone chips again the second you drive off the lot. So unless you plan to park your truck for 90 days while paint cures you will want to ask BMW to send new parts...

Hope the info is helpful and PM me if you need any details on who I worked with to get things squared away.
This is so good to know! Thank you for the info.... Greatly appreciated!
