I've had my eyes on the '01 AE for a couple of months now, but haven't been able to swallow the price (like many of you here). My question is this, what does the Aero kit cost if you were to do something similar (Stillen?) aftermarket? It may be a place to start some negotiation with the dealer. I'd be willing to pay a few thousand over a stock SE, but not much more, in order to get an AE. It's doubtful that the additional cost could be recouped on resale, but damn it's a fine car!!

Great site, thanks for the good info!! Esp. that 1k below MSRP is reasonable.
