dpavlakos91's lip is an interesting solution because it's black.
Good call. Actually thats why i left it black. I like the look more it looks really good in person with the black wheels too.

I actually prefer it frame off the "black hole". I think it makes it look more like a hole vs an area with 3 sides.

I recommend the Aero kit personally. I'm glad I got it on my MR. I love the side skirts, and the rear skirts. Mostly I love the front lip. I feel it gives it more of a refined and aggressive look. I also like how it matches the paint color instead of running carbon which can look ghetto to me. I'm not a fan of running carbon in places where it's not really needed.

The Aero Kit + mudflaps will prevent rocks. I'm surprised the one guy said he doesn't have any rock chips because every single X i've seen has them on the rear doors. I immediately clear bra'd my car. I didn't clear bra the side skirts though, I wish I had.

You're more than welcome to drive my car btw... I live in McMinnville if you're close by.

migs can you take a photo of your aero kit parts? i even had the nasty chips on my GTS on the lower part of the rear doors where the body flares out a little. it went down to the paint's primer... i bet whoever says they have no chips on these cars is either lying out of their *** or they're just ignorant and dont even notice a thing

What part of the aero kit are you trying to find pics of? There are a ton of pics with and without the aero kit, from all angles in the official colors threads.

If you play your cards right you should be able to get it for free. If you look at the car from the side, it looks incomplete without a lip. I suppose it's a matter of taste, but it looks more aggressive from a side angle.

, I know, I'm shocked too. I think its a combination of I don't drive it much and when I do the roads are generally nice and the top speeds are relatively low.

I still can't decide if I want to get the aero kit or not.

They both look good, but I might add a front lip later down the road.
