+1

The choice depends on your preference. As for cost, the RSB would be cheaper, I believe.

Well haha here's how it boils down.

I like performance over looks. but at the same time, my night vision has been a bit off of late, i dunno if it's just attributed to Snr year in college and lack of sleep or i'm seriously going blind.

so it's

1) fog lights for the aesthetic value + it helps me see better, but this will cost more..and i have no idea how to do the wiring

2) RSB helps my turns better, and it's a cheaper mod, but after my current mods I don't know if I want to jump back under the car again.



although in retrospect...i DID just order the magnaflows...if i'm taking off the mufflers+exhaust it'd be alot easier for me to install the RSB.

but.................being able to see better, is more comforting to the mind.

i can keep going back and forth about which i want more, but in the end i know it sits 50/50 so i figured I'd just decide based off the poll. though atm it's sitting 50/50 as well T.T

Ok, here you go: Do the fogs first! Safety first. Then...do the RSB. You can do the hard one (fogs) first, and then do the easier RSB. You can end up with both! But safety first.

safety first. in this case, do fogs first though I voted for RSB before knowing your safety concerns.

i dont know if the fogs would help that much as far as visual safety goes. you would have to get HID fogs and even then, i think the stock HIDs do a really good job as it is.

i would personally say the RSB, cheap and it helps out a lot.

I kinda agree about the fact that I doubt the fogs would help you see better. Personally, I'd do the RSB then go get an eye exam. I have horrible vision that can't even be corrected to 20/20 and I don't have any problem seeing at night with just the HIDs.

RSB is functional; fog lights are useless.

RSB - in my opinion you'll get more bang for your buck and long-term satisfaction. It really does make a significant difference in the handling of the car.

Maybe to some people...I've never used the fogs on any car I've ever owned, even when driving in the fog . Reason - no difference in visibility. To me, it's simply an aesthetic thing.

I have never used fogs either unless it's pitch black, but under normal driving condition, fogs are unnecessary.

I think you should upgrade your springs, get lowering springs they'll look a bit better and handle a bit better as well.

However if you do in fact get the RSB make sure you get tires that are capable of keeping up in the corners.

LOL i WOULD consider Nightvision goggles IF the flare from oncoming cars didnt fuck everything up lol...

i dunno, maybe it's just cuz i've been getting 2-3 hours sleep for the past 3 months, but i've been having a hard time seeing at night...which i guess is what made me want to get foglights
