Thanks everyone! I did a few errands this morning just to get to drive it again... 
MiniMac2005 : Unfortunately I'm going to be gone that weekend - taking a road trip south to my aunt & uncle's in Mississippi. That will really get me familiar with the car.
I'll keep an eye out for other events tho! I live in Lake Zurich - so not close to the city but still near enough.
As for colors - I was shooting for 1) Dark Silver/Black or 2) BRG/Black. Either one fits my taste nicely. Worked out perfect - my last name is Grey and my car is Gray, albeit named slightly different...

I think if you get off at the Woodfield exit, you should be ok.. unless you get off at Algonquin Rd and make your way from there...

Welcome to the Gang....
Clean install in the gauge faces. You must have worked for a while to get the aero kit mid bumper piece to fit as well as it looks in the picture. I did a buddy of mine, and we worked for HOURS to get that grill to fit perfect. Good job!!

Thanks!
I spent about 10 hours working on the two installs and unfortunately the grille doesn't fit as perfectly as I'd like... but I was tired and freezing so it is going to have to do for now. I definitely could have used an extra set of hands... or someone more mechanically inclined than I am to help!
