Having my kit installed and it came with 2 separate lower peices for the rear bumper. One has a cutout in the center with a filler and the other is a solid piece. The dealer has not done one before and had me come by to take a look. From what I have seen on this site looks like you only need to use the one solid peice. I told him not to bother with the other one with the hole. Is this correct? Does anyone know what the other is for?

Yes thats correct just use the solid piece If you dont have a need for a tow hitch. The other one is for cars with the tow hitch. So when you remove the cover it'll allow you to hook a trailer to your car.

See post #24 for pics.

Ok i'm an idiot especially because I printed that picture to take with me to the dealership. Guess I should have read the fine print.

Foglights Question

I also may just install the front and side skirts and am wondering if the kit includes new fog lights or if the original fog lights are utilized in the M-Aero front.

Answers anyone?

The M-Tech Kit use different foglight housing so you would need to buy the new corresponding foglight housing.

Oh sorry yes.. the WHOLE KIT includes it which also includes the rear bumper. But since you said you wanted just the front and the sides then you'll need to piece meal the whole thing. The front bumper donest include any of the accessory pieces.
