I just got the aero bumper and grill back from the paint shop. I had been looking at the grill for a long time and right off the bat decided to paint the flat surround. Feel it makes the car look more upscale.

I will get mine installed not too much longer. I just ordered the clear bra for the bumper to match what I already have on the front end and actually found pre-cut pieces for the grill surround. Now if I could just find ones for the headlight rings.

Once I get that installed wait a few days to dry, wax, and install.

Putting the factory driving lights on and really hate the idea of cutting slots in the grill. Saw another solution I liked until I read you had to cut a slot in the little vertical lip along the back edge of the bumper along the top. Grill is cheaper to replace.

definitely get the clear bra done, and don't forget the side skirts near the rear wheels. Lots of damage occurs there.

I just felt obliged to go outside and snap a few photos to contribute to this thread. Here are some pictures of the aero kit on an MC (apologies for the bad pictures), but alas:







The front bumper is painted matte black in a poor, poor attempt to match the textured black, but is was the only option available. In hindsight, my car's been through so many cosmetic changes, but I think she's finally done!
