Hella Angel Eye Fogs/ PIAA Super Plasma 5000k bulbs (After more than two years, the winter of 2006 caused both light housings to crack, and the passenger side bulb burned out - They've been replaced by Pilot foglights which shine a TRUE fog beam pattern which is low and wide - As opposed to the Angel Eyes that cast a 'driving beam' pattern that is long and narrow)
I opted to install my "cold-air" intake as a single piece and keep it as a "warm air" intake. This takes advantage of the high-flow properties, but keeps the filter located in the stock airbox's base, where it can draw cold-air from the ram-air ducts. I did this because installing the full CAI involved cutting part of the car's metal inner fender and accessing the fender insides itself. Plus, for rain and cold weather this setup is safer and lets the car warm up properly while staying dry.
I'll update if I do more mods, thanks for checking out my ride!
