FINALLY ordered the Aero kit for my X. Along with the UTR grille, 06 reverse lamps, clear side markers, and SAT radio. Anyway, started off at 9am this morning and had the side sills installed and front bumper replaced by 11am. The rear bumper took about 2 hours and ended up removing the rear bumper for the install for more maneuvering room.

Going to slap some 19s on there in the next couple of weeks and I already know that you can fly an airliner through the wheel gap

Yes, I had them re-powder coated about a year and a half ago.

Have you had any problems with the tabs on the UTR grille. About half of mine needed fixed within a few hours of installing.

As a matter of fact, I will be picking up some epoxy to cement them into place tomorrow. They need to come up with a better solution instead of the bubble gum they used to stick them on.

I used the 1 minute epoxy on mine and all has been great since.

Wow, all that time waiting for them to make this grill and that's the best they can do??? Pathetic.

If I ever get some time I will take mine back off and take some pics.

1) take off tabs and re-glue with epoxy (1-minute stuff works well)
2) when cured install mesh
3) take off old grille (4-top plugs and two snaps)
4) install new grille

Looking forward to the 19s. The car overall looks very nice, I'm just not crazy about the current wheels. Maybe it's just that dark wheels need tire dressing even more so than polished wheels.
