or

ebay test pipes (~$125 shipped)

Or that "Cheap Y pipe" (see intake exhaust thread I'm too lazy to link). Good gains and sound for a tight budget.

Or save $100 a month for a year and get an F.I Exhaust (same price gets your a guided tour of kenchan's garage...better value. Take camera. Get spy shots of new wheels).

I'm another one who really likes my illuminated scuff plates. Your $100 bonus, plus savings by bringing your lunch a couple of days, would do it---well worth it.

Let's hear em...
Put it towards lighted kick plates if you don't have them already. About $40 more. Or just save it for some expensive performance upgrade, which sounds best of all to me.

How about the LED interior/exterior kit? Nice LEDs for map lights, trunk light and license plate lights.

Oh, and a Simota1 sticker!

glad to hear.

Ken, are you talking about a switch for the fog light, correct ? If so, I plan on
wiring it to the license plate light so that it's on when parking lights and headlights are on..

yep, for your fog lamp...

oh i see... but remember that the fog lamp is VERY BRIGHT at night for people behind you on a clear day. might make it a tad annoying and hard to follow you due to glare resulting in a crash.

for the foglight..

Buy a 2 stage bulb and socket.. 7443 size.. It can be found on autolumination.com. It will take a little bit of cutting the hole in the foglight to get it to fit but nothing major.

Wire them to your tail lights.. This way you can have it light up dim when the headlights are on, and light up bright when the brake is pressed.

Man, thanks a lot ... This is exactly what I was looking for..

So, there is not a dual filament bulb that is the same size as the foglights ?

What size is the bulb in the foglight ?
