Thanks for all the replies. After getting more definitive numbers from my body shop, the difference between just getting a new front bumper and getting the Aero package was closer to $2,000, so I decided to forego the Aero kit for the time being. Thanks again for all the replies. This board is great. Now, if someone could give me an idea how to get my dealer to take the knocking valves issue on my car seriously, I'd be forever indebted......

What color is your car? Want to buy my front bumper? It already has clear bra on it...

Sapphire Black, otherwise I would have been very interested. Good luck selling. I am sure it is only a matter of time until someone with the same color has a little mishap.

I just saw my first 550 and first M Kit this morning, and it looked fantastic. Car was a black 550 which sadly was, like mine, in at a San Jose body shop, and it looked incredible.

Saw an M-kit the other day and it looks much better. Now the regular bumper looks too plain!
