SSS package is the perfect package for a nice daily driver. Been driving with it since 1/19/2008!

 

thats true i was like thinking o maybe im just gonna maintain my Si and then just get a base GSR...

better off saving up and going for a fully loaded GSR i want that aero and navi just as bad as the SSS option

 

base gsr is the way to go, save the 2 grand on SSS and put into power/suspension mods and you are allset for a daily driver

 

The quality of aftermarket would not match the OEM Aero
Have you every installed an aftermarket body kit before? I have installed
A lot of them, from cheapo kits to, brand name kits, some of them don’t even fit the car perfectly. Paint on aftermarket kits fade allot quicker, just from my experience
Plus if you have it installed, you get the same warrantee as your car.
The invoice price on the OEM Aero paint match is $1499, with a lot of dealership and part store giving you 20 to 30% off on parts. You can always buy the OEM kit and install it yourself.
Even an Aftermarket kit will cost to close to 1k for a nice set, plus you will have to get it painted.

 

Unless you go Carbon Fiber, at which point its durable, light, and there is no paint to come off.

I'd skip the OEM kit and wait, if you end up liking it better then the aftermarket, then aquire it, but no sense limiting your options from the getgo of a car.

 

I wanted to put a CF Hood and Trunk on my X. Does anyone know if CF can be painted back to Phantom Black?

I'm not a fan of the CF look especially on Black.
