- XB LED fog light assemblies was yellow Lamin-X film (these things are just a hair dimmer than the HID headlights, totally worth the price and they bolt right in!) Had to get adapter harnesses from Spoonz Auto.
- Trunk LED light


From HID Powerhouse:
- JDM clear front side markers with their brightest amber LED. Took a sharpie to the base of the bulbs to cover up the yellow plastic as it showed when they were off. Definitely brighter than stock and look great.


Still waiting to go on:
- XB LED front turn signals from TRS, just waiting on my Tapturn to come in.


No pics as the car is dirty Damn pollen everywhere and just enough rain to make it look terrible.
I was thinking about getting the same fog lights. How is the fitment? Is there any gaps around the bezel? I know it's really hard to take pix of lights but do you have any output pix?

What mods do you have? I want a torque curve like that, because I can definitely feel the dip hard right now

edit: may as well throw in a virtual dyno run for shiggles. I'm not sure it feels like a 197hp car, but it's definitely satisfying. No massive torque dip like stock either

JDL UEL header. Expensive, but worth every penny, IMO. Stock midpipe & muffler too

Fitment is perfect, it's a direct plug and play swap (so long as you have the adapter harness for the wiring). I'll try to get some pics soon.

Just test fitting it. Bayson R STi style sideskirts.

What do you guys think? I always wanted these side skirts.

Installation is very straight forward. The biggest thing was routing all the wiring so it looks clean. Here's a link to the kit I used, it's inexpensive and a very affective way to light up the engine bay when desired. Available in white or blue... http://www.ebay.com/itm/OPT7-Plasma-...39f007&vxp=mtr

I've had mine for a while and I love them. They're not as nice as the authentic ones, obviously, but they're clean and cheap. The whole kit is a worthwhile investment if you live anywhere that gives your car a beating (climates that see varied weather conditions).

Thanks for adding the STI emblem on yours! I've been sitting on mine for almost 18 months now. I need to apply them, and now I'm more determined to do so!

Personally I like the CS style extensions but the series blue style naturally fits the car. Looks good man

Yeah as ricey as they seem, they're very functional at lighting up the engine bay at night. I guess you could go with the white version and it wouldn't be considered as ricey. Not likes it underglow LOL
