    Only thing I know about integras is that their coil over kits work really well on Offroad trailers :cookiemonster:

    Fog lights. I live right by the water, and take wooded roads to work at 5am, so it's always dark and foggy.

    yes :oops:

    honestly though, it probably won't happen until after the move. weekends right now are filled up with getting the house ready to sell, and visiting/helping my mother who just had spine surgery.

    I can work on the Fiero for an hour in the evening. can't quite go wheeling for an hour on a Wednesday night without breaking some kind of law.

    but now that you're in the RWD club, we can not wheel together while we work on the new "piss of the wife" hobby as you so accurately put it :D

    I've been going there for years, and Alexis fell in love with it on our "where do we want to live" tour this summer. a pretty incredible place with something for everyone.

    it'll be with a different company.

    Well, I'm not sold on the looks of them, and may swap out for some different lights in the future, but perormance on these lights is hard to beat. Great output, but diffused lenses in locations that prevent you from blinding oncoming traffic. And of course the amber lenses is great for fog/rain/snow

    Lights are spaced out far enough to not block flow to the radiator. Just by chance, I got lucky, and they don't hit the splitter braces either
