I saw one in the showroom and granted I'd still buy one... I just HATE that option. I don't think it looks good at all. Makes the car look kinda BULKY.

i think that they look awful, they also add weight to the car, which everyone complains about, i dont care for the sss package either, the crappy stereo, i would only take the hids, if possible.

as of today, there are NO dealers in NE (as far as i know) who have a base GSR on their lot, now that stinks

i think the sides of the front lip look really akward, out of place really. The sideskirts aren't flush with where the front fender mounts, they actually stick out a bit and its distracting. The rear valences are pretty subtle though.

I think it looks decent from far away and certain angles, but overall I wouldn't get it. Aftermarket (Varis, Ralliart, etc) will provide much more appealing, subtle additions.

I love the effects - think the normal one looks too Lancerish.

it looks like a cheap after market kit imo, not something that would be offered from the factory.

To be honest i think the new X looks more like a ricey Mazda 6. It has been growing on me though.

I like the kit and got it. I like how it adds an extra line of barrier under the mustache. It makes the front look more aggressive and the car looks a lot lower.

no man your not, I'm so glad I didnt get the Aero kit. I think its ugly too. The side skirts look ricey, the front bumper looks like a snow plow and the rear add ons do nothing for me.

Eh, I don't have a problem w/it, but for me the extra $2k isn't worth it. I don't like the front fascia as much w/the kit as compared to w/o it. The rest of the kit is subtle, IMO, which makes it not worth it to me.

When I first saw the kit in pics I thought it looked good but after checking it out in person not so much.
