It's true- We finally have factory, pre-painted AE "Aero Kits" availiable. They look really nice, the kit comes with very detailed instructions, templates, & hardware. The price is $1065, shipped to the central states, $1070, shipped to the east or west coasts. i wish the pic was better, but it was really bright out!

Could you also

scan in or provide a copy of the instructions. I am very interested but heard it is difficult to put on even by the factory people. I imagine it is available in all colors, including sterling mist?

Uh, I think he means the "aero" body kit that comes with the Anniv. Edition SE (in the US, he he...). It only comes with the AE...

I wish I can mix and match color like that (without it being permanent on my car). How would sterling mist with a grey lustre kit look?

It probably wouldn't look that bad, I remember seeing in one of my magazines a gray lustre max with everything below the rubber door guard sterling mist with a sterling mist stillen kit. It looked kinda cool!

So what is the difference between the AE kit from Nissan and the Stillen kit?

rocketshipon19" you have a Stillen one and it looks tight! I think it looks better then the AE one I've seen on Sterling... Maybe just my imagination... Also, what is the difference in price between these 2 kits?

I think a Sterling Mist kit would look SWEET on my Icelandic Pearl Max. What do you think?????

I've seen the AE kit in person and I think the Stillen looks BETTER from the pictures. I've never seen a Stillen kit in person, but the AE kit looks stuck on and NOT an integral part of the car. I could see lines/grooves behind the AE kit edges, whereas the Stillen kit appears to cover everything and looks almost molded to the bumpers and side-skirts.

The prepainted part is ALMOST a closer for me though. Since, I can't find a paint shop to install AND paint the kit. Plus, I haven't seen any good pictures of the NEW Stillen kits. I'm going to wait and see what happens. This is probably the hardest decision for me personally, besides what style rims to go with.

Good questions! I had not thought of the exhaust issues, the pieces have both screws and peel-n-stick stuff on them, and there is a bag of hardware w/each one. In response to the Colonel & others, I'll go over the instructions tomorrow, I think if I seperate the pages, they may be fax-able. I am also availiable for q's at 888-254-6060

I met this Jamaican guy with a white AE at the car wash and he was removing the rear passenger side piece for some reason.. It only took him 30 secs. All he did was remove 2 screws & that was it....

Yes and no...because the lip of the car is lower the bra won't fit entirely. Check out srmtn's (he's got an AE) sig for a pic of his semi-bra.
