Hells kitchen, that is the one. Only thing is there are lots of speed cameras on Ortega Sundays, so you have to have iron self control.

Just curiosity. I've always like the Aero kits and I've always liked the wide bodies. But I'm not particularly fond of "bare" narrow bodies nor the wide body aero kit.

My hunt continues for an '02-04 aero. However, I just stumbled upon the even more rare arrow kit on autotrader.

The only thing "rare" about that one is it's using MK1 aero rear bumper on a MK2 car. It definitely didn't come from the factory that way.

look more closely, it is a mk2 rear bumper, with added trims at the sides, probably from the mk1.

I'm convinced that the MkI Aero will become an appreciated car in a few years.

What are everyone's thoughts on Porsche aero kits installed after the car was manufactured? I'm hesitant to buy a non-XAA car with the kit installed as I think it will delay the car's value in years to come. Thoughts?

Like the original fascia? No, it doesn't.

Nice to know that Glacier White Mk 1 Aros are still in demand. Mine is still running strong and I'm in no hurry to part with it.

Go for the XAA car if you can. If the aero parts are put in after just make sure it is OEM parts, especially the taco. Also make sure they did the front bumper cover. My car is not XAA, but OEM parts. I did not do it for the appreciation, but because they make the MK1 look 100% hotter.
