Re: Aero Kit or Tire Wheel Package

It's really a matter of personal preference. Depending on whether you want to keep your car stock looking, then go with the OEM rims and aero kit.

I think a big factor would be "how much" you're spending on the parts/labor... If in the end it's a large sum of $moola$ just to get OEM parts with labor to install them (Dealer rapes you!), then you might want to "consider" aftermarket aero kits and/or rims and personalize your G a bit. Once again, it's up to personal preference...

So question would for you would be: OEM stock (or) Customize/Personalized look.

My advice is not to rush into it, and do some research on the parts you're going to get. Stillen, Greddy, ING, Ken Style, Unlimited Tuning (rear lip spoiler) all have some really cool aftermarket stuff. If you're going to spend the money, might as well make sure you're going to like it and going to be happy with what you're getting in the end... [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Happy Hunting and best of luck with your search...

Re: Aero Kit or Tire Wheel Package

It's going to be FAR easier to retrofit the aero package pieces than to completely overhaul your brake system to fit the Brembos... GET THE TIRE & WHEEL!

Re: Aero Kit or Tire Wheel Package

the tire and wheel package comes with things other than the 18" wheels like a VLSD and the titanium interior trim... i'm assuming you're talking about getting a 2004... the front lip you can always buy later and install yourself... and the lip spoiler is pure looks while the VLSD actually does something... and one last thing... most people will notice the 18" tires more than they will the lip spoiler if thats what you're going for... ideally you would want to get both

Re: Aero Kit or Tire Wheel Package

Personally the aero kit would look weird on just 17's. The bigger the tires the better for something that includes a lip spoiler, etc. Also I have the 17's and the car is already low. With a lip spoiler that would be really low. Only problem with the 18's are they are high performance tires so if you encounter winter weather, you're going to have to swap those out.

Re: Aero Kit or Tire Wheel Package

If you can open a car door you can put on clears. Its kinda scary to think how easy it is to take the originals off. Definitely more prone to be stolen.

Re: Aero Kit or Tire Wheel Package

Tire and wheel IMO also, think about it the aero package will be cheaper to buy after and easier to get then the price of wheels and tires for the coupe, thats if your staying stock though?!?

Re: Aero Kit or Tire Wheel Package

get both.. the tire and wheel package is around 900 right? you are gonna change the rims anyways so sell the rims and tires to someone for 900 easily and get the free lsd and titanium trim.
