so i finally got these fogs wired up with the switch and all




i think i spent maybe 3-4 total in getting these installed mainly because i cut my finger really bad trimming the fog covers and also how to run the wire into the car. if i had to do it again this would prolly take like 2 hours

also earlier last week my visors came in. took maybe 10 mins cuz i started following the acura instructions which required pulling the window trim when in reality wasnt necessary

I believe the acceleration got smoother and it got a tad louder. Heeltoe did a dyno and it gain around 7-10 hp. I got it for 50$ with two thermal gaskets so I can't really complain lol. Brand new with 2 thermal gaskets cost around 150$ so yea. I will go for a cruise after work and see if there are any differencr.

Sanjay, I heard it's not that hard to install if you have the right tools. However, I don't really want to do it myself because if I did something wrong, there is a possibility that the engine will shit the bed. You know how to build engines so it will be a lot easier for you. Want to help me install it? I have an impact wrench, low pro jack and a stand. Even some other tools. Ill provide the beers/food. Lol

Gldcrzy, i just got the tbs

don't say they are ugly, they are Sanjay's favorite wheels according to his facebook. I think he should rock them on his TL VIP style with some pulled fenders haha
