My thought was maybe get the dealer do it - at least when you have issues they can be addressed when you in there for service.

Mineola - just a couple towns from here. Do you happen to know if they do aero kit paint/install? They mention 'car accessories'...

If not, anyone know any reputable body shops in the area that do?

I saw a post on this forum of someone who had it and I was totally put off by the clearly visible edge going across the hood/bonnet. It's not for me...

I have purchased a fair number of Meguiar's products that I plan to use on my new X5.

Meguiar's products are phenominal they are by far superior to anything on the market. Just my .02 cents

I use Meguiars myself and really recommend the exterior trim dressing spray for all the plastic trim. That said I still have a clear bra as no wax I know will stop a stone chip. Dealers seem to use different ones. Standing at the right angle at the right distance with the right about sun yes you can see a line but I like the sandblasted look less. Also they can be removed at a later date.
