Put it towards ---

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.

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

Oh, and a Simota1 sticker!

when you say nice for the wife wat do you mean? cause my wife loves handbags and those things are not cheap at all...

take her out for dinner? 100 will net you a decent meal but a nice dinner enough for her to buy a 1500 exhaust?

hahahahaahahahahahahha. hahhaahahhaa.... hahahaBLAHHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!

jk

stick with the foglamp.

Jeez

Back when I used to date, $100 got me a LONG! ways. Most of the women I went for cared more about things I put some thought into or made than things I bought or paid to have done (Dinner at a resturant,etc.).

I would buy a bottle of decent wine (decent to me is a good vintage in the $20-30 range, meaning not Yellowtail crap from Wal-Mart, lol) some candles, and cook supper and take her to a park and lay it all out for a midnight dinner if the weather was nice, and stuff like that. It cost all of $60 or so and a few hours of my time. Knew of a nice park where no druggies/hobos went, and was left unlocked/patrolled at night at the time.

Meant more, spent less. The women loved it.

well, you just answered your own dilemma.

RockStarKick · 03-08-2011, 03:39 PM

Update;

Decided to go with the rear fog light, I would of went with the intake tubes
if they weren't on backorder and chose against the "cheap Y pipe" because
of CBE plans really soon..

But thanks guys for all the excellent suggestions...

glad to hear.

now time to buy some rocker switches with the money left over. check out the interior section, search 'rocker switches.' or something.

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.

Switch Panel on console

here you go.

Liquid_G · 03-08-2011, 04:24 PM

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 ?
