Does the aero package only have the spoiler, or something more (front chin too maybe)?

They didn't do a bad job but it doesn't sit as flush on the trunk as I have seen on coupes that had it factory installed. When the installer drilled holes in the drunk he must have let some of the shavings fall inside of the trunk lid. Every time I open the trunk I hear the shavings rattle around inside the trunk lid. Also I have the additional brakelight in the window that I don't want/need.
The areo package from the factory comes with under body diffusers. I asked my salesman would I get those with the spoiler when I had it added later and he said yes. When I went to have it all installed they only had the spoiler. My salesman was on vacation and the people there said you couldn't get the diffusers if they didn't come on the car from the factory. After complaining they changed their tune and said they would order them and put them on but I'm still waiting to hear back from them saying they have them in.
Also I'm a VPP customer and since aero wasn't on from the factory it wasn't factored into the VPP price so I ended up paying a little more than I should have.

Nothing that I can think of yet. I'm happy with the car I have exactly as it is.
Infiniti's Navigation system sucks in comparison to the systems offered by other car makers, but I'm still more than glad I have it.
It offers real time fuel economy monitoring and historical records of previous fuel economy measurements. You can keep track of your oil and oil filter change intervals and you can set it so that it reminds you to do those maintenance features at whatever milleage interval you want(up to 7500 miles, I think). The Nav system also has some built in warning features such as a warning if you try to drive with one of your doors open(and I'm sure there are other warning messages as well). It also stores randomly interesting information about your car, such as your average speed, and total time that the car has been running for.
If you are running low on gas, the Nav system will tell you, and supposedly it will automaticly tell you where the closest gas station is.
It's just a fun feature to have, whether you need it for directional purposes or not.
The clock on the Nav is also a lot easier to see and read than the crappy one that is on the dashboard, and in general... the Nav system makes the car seem like it's infinitely more expensive than a car without it.
Any friend or date that I have taken in the car has always been very entertained and impressed by the presence of the Navigation system.... and by the fact that it has a popup screen. You could also wire in a TV-Tuner/DVD-Player into the nav screen if you wanted to at some point in the future.
Get the Nav!

I debate with myself all of the time about whether or not I wanted a 6MT or if I'm happy with my AT. I'm really not into racing anymore and the comforts of an AT weighs better than the fun of the MT. I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE driving a MT but most of the time (especially in Austin traffic), it can majorly suck.
I'm very happy with my car. I was gonna get the white one but the dealership didn't have it. So I was "stuck" with a Diamond Graphite, which turned out to be the best in my opinion. The black one is awesome but its just too damn hot in Texas to be driving a black car.
