M Sport Aero Kit - From Ebay

[toomuchhype]

Hi there,

I am interested in upgrading my X Line to the M sport exterior aesthetics. There are many posts I have read that confirm that it is a bolt-on swap (with the appropriate ducting/support pieces purchased). I am considering buying this aftermarket kit from Ebay, but I haven't been able to find any real world experiences or reviews on it. Has anyone used it? Any comments on fitment, quality, overall impressions?

Also, is it just me or are the side skirts not correct?

Seems like a good deal. Although I agree, side skirts do not match factory M Sport.

Interesting. Price seems good. Curious how they fit.

Closing the loop on this - I decided to take the plunge and go for this body kit. I self-installed it. I would say that the fitment and quality is 8 or 9 out of 10. The kit is complete and all of the mounting holes line up as they should. The only reason for the 8 or 9 is that some of the gaps where the bumper meets the fenders etc is not 100%. From a discerning eye, you can see that, but you really need to look at it.

I was worried about the side skirts, but they turned out to be accurate to the M sport style.

Overall I am very happy that I was able to get the M sport body look, at a very reasonable price. I can send photos or more details for anyone that is interested.

That is a lot less than my OEM conversion. Did you have it painted, then install?

Post pics here?

[toomuchhype]

Yes ordered the kit. Gave it to my painter and then installed. I’ll post pics if I can figure out where to upload/host the images.

Here are some photos. I also vinyl wrapped the window trim and the roof rails in gloss black. Painted the chrome exhaust tips from the kit gloss black before installing.

Looks great! And it didn't cost you 6k like mine...lol.

[DenBel]

Was yours $6k including paint?

[UcanTry]

Car looks good!! I’m debating on wrapping my window trim as well. Any closer up pics?

[daytonaviolet]

Yes it looks really good. From the pics, I would of never known it's not oem. Great job

[Lifeisgood20]

Congrats on the mod as it looks fantastic! It’s a double win for you-you saved alot of $ and got the look you wanted. Enjoy!!

[parkstr8]

Yes - all new OEM parts, retro kit, sensors, paint match and install labor. His was def a better deal and looks great! His was prob about 1/2 total of mine.

@toomuchhype Did you do the vinyl window trim yourself? Looks awesome! Love the stealth look. If not, how much did you pay to have it wrapped?

Sorry for the delay - I wrapped the windows myself. I hired someone to wrap the roof rails though - the curves and the contours was too difficult. Windows were easy once removed. If I remember correctly, the roof rails cost $120 to wrap.

Thinking of this kit for myself - Did you need to purchase extra parts for mounting and fitment?

I took the dive and went with this kit also. Had it on the car for 2 months and love it. Had it shipped straight to my body shop and they did the work in 3 days. They had to make some slight cuts to the front of the inside fender lining. Seems that the M Sport sits a little closer to the frame of the car. Other than that, everything fit perfect.

I thought that the kit came with exhaust tips but it didnt appear so. Didnt matter to me since I will be doing a custom exhaust but just a heads up for anyone considering this route. Also a good idea to add mud flaps to the front to keep snow, dirt, salt and crap from screwing up the painted side skirts.

Best bang for my buck I have ever spent on this car. Very happy!
