Santiago's Front Aero Protector Install - Lot's of pics!

[santiagodraco]

Well, finally managed to get my front Aero "protector" installed on the FX. I have to say I am much happier with it that I thought I'd be. I think having the car lowered a bit really helps. I had the work done at Austin Infiniiti (bought there as well) and I have to say they gave me a great price and both the lip and the install... not to mention letting me take a full set of photo's throughout the process as well as helping with the install.

Without further ado... here's the link to my SmugMug gallery with ALL of the photos. Currently there are no captions but the order is accurate per the timeline of the install. Later I'll go through and add notes and remove dupes as well as create an updated install walkthrough if folks feel it would be helpful (there's one already in the DIY).

If you check the gallery you'll see a ton more photos that show where screws/holes go and other parts of the process.

One thing I like about the lip is that it's not 100% painted. The bottom is the same black plastic as the front without the lip. So a bit less worry about scratching if you are lowered. See my gallery (from the link) for some shots of the underside. If interested

Looks great. The difference between the new FX with and without the aero lip is night and day in my opinion.

Wow that looks great! That's it damnit! I'm ordering mine today. I ordered one last week from that website where it was $372 and my order got cancelled. Bastids! I'm going to order it today from Perry Infiniti for $418. That's 10% off. Does that seem reasonable? How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? Thanks in advance.

It's been about a week now and I have to say...all my trepidations are gone. I love this thing too. It really really brings out the spirit of the FX. Best purchase so far.

Time to take a new picture of the front end and update your avatar :smile (2): !

Definitely best purchase for the money. Gives the front end a whole new look! Subtle yet aggressive!
I have not stopped staring at the front of the car since I installed it on Friday!

They should have made a front lip for the 1st gen FX.
