Final dollar amount: puchase/install/paint aerokit

[chrisngo]

This is a survey to find out what people are spending on their aero parts. If you don't mind spending a few minutes to share your thoughts, I would highly aprreciate it.

*Please do not turn this into a flame war*

1. How much did you spend on the kit?
2. What brand is the kit?
3. How much to install the kit?
4. Was any "massage" work required to fit it properly?
5. How much to paint the kit?
6. Final price, from start to finish?
7. Where are you located?

I want to find out if their is any justification in purchasing authentic aero over non-authentic. I am not concerned with people buying "knock-off's". This is a non-bias survey that I am conducting on this forum.

I appreciate your honesty!

Thank you!
Chris
