The car was looking sharp, one thing I don't like about the FR-S though is the Daytime Running lights, has anybody replaced them with some LED bulbs or Nokya Yellows? Are the DRL's in the FR-s part of the highbeam bulbs or are they separate bulbs? That would seem to be an easy upgrade. What kind of bulbs do the FR-S daytime running lights use?

They use the High Beam Bulbs. Just at a lower wattage.

The whiteout was most likely me. I live in converse and work, oddly enough, at Rackspace so I'm constantly driving in the area.

Cobb tuning in ATX may do it, I know the one in Plano does it

I asked them about the AP about two weeks ago and got a very non committal answer.

Also if they don't corner balance, they'll know someone who does. The Cobb folks are good people.

I placed an order for my frs at universal in sa & they told me they should be getting me it by the Monday... I'm so anxious & nervous. I want the week fly. They don't know when yet exactly, but they said no later then Monday but hopefully by Saturday.
