Black is such a beautifull color and the wheels are very sharp. Enjoy.

Are those mud flaps OEM for the aero kit?

Yes, they're the Aero kit version of the mud flaps. Put them on my self. Have to take the wheels off to do it correctly. The push pins are buggers to get in at times. I would advise anyone who self installs to get extra push pins from the body shop guy before starting the process becuase you end up breaking a few in the process.

Aluminum. Got them at Ultimate Pedals (www.ultimatepedals.com). I simply used two sided 3M tape on the dead pedal. The other three require drilling. They give you all the hardware in the install kit. They want you to leave the screw heads on the four corners of the clutch and brake exposed. Becuase they are nicely countersunk, I cut down some of the extra rubber inserts and used epoxy glue to glue them on top of the screws to hide them.

What can I say. I live in Pittsburgh and will drive the car in the winter. I need to keep the salt & gunk off the car.

As you might guess the winter is long and very hard overhere.

Salt, salt, salt and and gravel is the name.

On top of all, most cars overhere use wintertyres with spikes for 5 months,
so tar and rocks (and spikes) from the streets is also flying around.

I can understand the mudflaps (in the front, maybe), but it is like putting
a sack on a beautiful ladys head...


I have no damages (in the lower bodywork) even if I don't have any flaps.
