Hi all,

I have just ordered a MC and am now thinking about installing an aero kit when I get the car. However I don't really like the black grill that comes w/ it. Can I install the aero kit and keep the standard chrome grill? (My MC is Black)

Also the sport exhaust (MSRP $675) -- is there an apparant difference in the sound than the standard one? I've been trying to find a local dealer in my area who has one installed, but no luck yet.

Any info will be great. Much thanks.

Thanks! Any complex modification to do? Something simple that a bodyshop can figure out?

a body shop can deffinatly do it.

what i beleive was done, is they created a flase foundation, because the grill would be sunken in, if you just put it in. So they created a foundation, with like bondo or something, then sit the grill into that.
