Pics of my car with the AE kit installed

My wife got me the AE Kit for Christmas! Check out the link below for pictures. What a difference the kit makes. I love it because it's clean and simple!

I think it would look better on a darker color.

This has a very subtle change so I really see almost no difference.

Very nice.

Did your wife buy it from the dealer? I can't wait until I can afford a body kit.

I thought the rear looked funny when I was originally looking at it. You're missing the middle piece.

Looks awesome. Even better in person, you must be crazy if you think it doesn't make a difference.. It completely changed the whole look of the car.. By the way naerok, your car looks great..

the "areo" kit as nissan calles it does not come with the full back 3 pieces only the side two. i got my kit the bought the 3 piece kit and had it painted to match. so if any one needs or wants the 2 piece rear kit i have it in sterling mist.

do the splash guards come with the A.E. kit or else it a special splash guard for the A.E.? Mine doesn't have splash guards and I don't think regular ones will fit

I honestly like the look of this kit, its clean. Plus it looks like it belongs on the car. You live in Jersey so, not sure i'd drop it with winter and all, your choice I suppose, all I would do next is the AE headlights. Chris

The kit was around $1k from Dave B. The body shop charged me $100 to install it. I actually like the way the rear looks with just the end caps. I think it makes the rear bumper look a little more aggressive. Thanks everyone for your compliments. I'm still debating whether or not to get the splash guards.

Personally I like the shape of the AE kit better than the similar Stillen Aero kit, althought it isn't as tall so it doesn't make you car look much lower...
