Opinion on Aero bumper?

3002 tii · 12-19-2010, 06:10 PM

So if I'm ONLY doing the bumper (no side skirts or rear diffuser), can I get away with only the main trim pieces listed below (basically everything minus any screws, nuts, fasteners, etc.)?

Also, on Tischer's site, the kit which is priced at $630 includes fogs & grids. However, their price on just the bumper is $444.42; I'm assuming the difference of about $190 is the 2 fogs (which are listed at $106 each below). So are the grids also included? if I purchase part number 51110149440?

Another random question, for the guys doing this upgrade, what are you doing about the side reflectors? Are there any options for clear reflectors, or are you painting over them?

You can use your current side reflector.

the post-facelift non-m's have rectangular side reflectors, not circle.

what about the grids? do those come with the bumper or do those need to be ordered separately?

Diokaef · 12-20-2010, 12:10 PM

I would email them.

my aero bumper does not have deflectors but you can re use the one that you have

1st_Knight · 12-20-2010, 06:51 PM

Yes, the Center & Left & Right grids were included with the Aero Bumper alone...

Did it had the hole for the reflectors?

No it did not. My son selected the bumper without the reflector holes..

Diakof I'm almost certain there are no holes for reflectors. Every aero bumper I've seen, US and Europe had no side reflectors. So the bumper probably includes the L/C/R grills and for us non-m guys, we need to order the fogs, that's it.

I wonder though, what's the difference between the fog lights listed in the Aero Kit (63176925007/8) and the fog lights that normally come with the 03-05 models

Diokaef · 12-20-2010, 10:50 PM

^ I believe the fog's on the kit come with the same connector shape of the one you have (rectangular ones) and not the old stile connectors.

Diokaef · 12-20-2010, 10:51 PM

I contacted Jason to see if he can do a 10 Front Aero Bumper kit GB price for us and 10 Aero Skirts I should know sometime tomorrow I hope.

I've got a nice hole in the bottom lip on mine. I might be in for one, depending if it's fixable or not.

I am but I doubt he'll do it plus he charges freight shipping of $150 or $175 on these parts so I think you're just better off getting them a your local dealer at $444.42

3002 tii · 12-21-2010, 04:09 PM

Bump just had my local Indy shop put in the order for the bumper and 2 fogs, hopefully that is everything I need to make this happen

Diokaef · 12-21-2010, 04:38 PM

Jason say that it's possible to go with lower prices then the special prices they have posted but I don't know how much yet

We need to fill out at list 10 people, please also post if you need the fog lights.

I'd be down depending on price.

Diokaef · 12-21-2010, 07:18 PM

The price will be similar to what is in the website, We can't expect miracles, probably 5-10% discount over the current discounted price.
