Aero Grill Installation

I know the aero kit grills won't fit easily, or without modification, on my '05 MCS. I, however, do not want to attempt the installation myself. Is there anyone in the OC/LA area who does this installations?

Thanks in advance.

I'm about to do it myself.

Here's a link to mini2.com for some detailed info. Requires that you either drill/dremmel into your MCS bumper or cut the tabs off of the aero grill and glue it (I'd rather drill for a cleaner more secure connection).

Read this whole thread - very interesting.

I'm in NY or else I'd offer to help you with yours. :smile:

I may try the DIY approach but I'd much prefer the pay someone so you can blame them and have them buy you a new aero kit grill set approach.

Thanks.

the whole front kit only costs $80...and you could easily have a body shop charge you $400 for it...it took tuls and i about 2 hours to do it all ourselves...and a dremel...pretty easy.

Well that was really the point of the question; to find a body shop that would do it at a reasonable cost.

You can do it yourself. Kind of a PITA but worth the effort.
