Your right about that for a page...let me hit up the Scion FR-S page on G+.

Getting my gun now...lol. It's funny, my Z had everything (aside from push-start) that is mentioned here, and I would have preferred to have the Base model, if I were to buy another one.

I had the Touring Ed. 350z.

I think it all comes down to your needs for the car. For me, I just want it as a nice fun daily driver and am fine with the extra luxuries. I have a DE car and a race car, I don't need the FT86 variant (whichever I get) to be barebones. If I were building it as a DE car, or TT car, or race car I'd want it as base and cheap as possible.

They are not that expensive for the manufacturers to add...but the biXenon ones with the autoleveling are more expensive.

You can get decent aftermarket conversion kits for less than $100 including the bulbs and ballast.

i dont want a conversion.. i like stock headlights, plus i love how stong they are, if i can get them at a later date ill be happy with that too and just sell the stock halogens

You got ripped off. Its just a HID bulb. You can get good ones for like $40 a pair. HID bulbs are cheap to replace and they will last at least 3 to 4 years...maybe longer. On my 8 year old 350Z I have replaced them once. Cost me $45. It is kind of a biotch to replace the bulbs on a 350z though but it is doable.

The car under the cover, could possibly be a stripped down 'track' model.

I'm assuming he meant the entire housing, not just the bulb.

I agree~



I already get blinded from people who can't level their HIDs correctly and Bro-trucks lighing up my entire car with their lights... I need less of that. lol
I actually quite like the new Fusion - it certainly looks much better than both of the traditionally best sellers in the segment (Accord/Camry) and i like the aggressive styling better than the swoopy design of the Sonata. The front end looks less Aston Martin to me and more gaping-frowning-fish-mouth.

:thumbup: Those PNP conversions SUCK. We used one of the new digital ballast ones for the race car. I think they ended up in the trash can.

ha. i'm not a MINI owner, just something i know from MINI owners. I should clarify: i'm talking about Xenon units, not HID bulbs. big difference.

I'm looking for a Daily as well. Maybe it was just the Z's heated leather seats that would set your arse on fire that I had a problem with...lol. I don't like Leather by any means though.
