Do you have the part numbers for what was needed?

I know you need the following:

02+ Bumper Cover
02+ Headlights
02+ Fenders
Headlight Trays
02+ Right and Left front trunk harnesses
Sidemarker bracket

Anything else?

Thanks

Control module if you want the auto leveling to function for the litronics
2 Clamping bows for the headlights retainers 996-631-273-00
Air duct, the center piece. Depend on what bumper.
what front bumper? you will need a few more things to complete the whole assembly.
New rear bumper? you will need the bumperette assembly and new license plate lights mounting frame.
Good luck

I don't know what front bumper I want. Its between the Aero II and the turbo bumper. I'm not doing the skirts or the rear for now. I believe the Aero kit front comes with the ducts it needs.

A couple questions:

What are "clamping bows?"
Did you install the control module? Is it easy to retrofit at a later date?


BTW, your car looks great!

The clamping bow is the metal rod, about 10" long, works as a locking mechanism between headlight and tray.
No I did not install the control modules and yes they could easily be fitted later.
I think you still need a few more things to fit the aero 2 bumper, I would recommend to have the bodyshop try to install it first and they will tell you later what you need.
Please..spend a little more money to get the side skirts because you don't have to pay them later for the paint job and you car will not look completed without them.
I have all parts number if you want.
Good luck
