Default New owner in LA (818,LAX)

just saying hi to all
I'm new to CL and a new owner of is-f in LA county

got the car few days ago.. and done only few basic mods: windows tinting, smoked out taillights and reflectors, 8000k headlights, HID fog light conversion, LED DRL & interior lights...
that's it so far...

sub &amp is up next and I'm kinda stuck what i would be needing cuz i
never had amp and sub with OEM head unit for my previous cars..
i currently have 2 x 12" sub and an amp... what else would i be needing? any suggestion?


also thinking about shiny black cover wrap on roof top... if any1 done it, can i see some pic?

a thing i noticed.. hid fog lights are much brighter than the headlights... i thought our headlights were HID already thats why i only bought the bulbs, not HID conversion kit... hmmmm

Congrats! The ISF do come with HID's already. Changing them to a different color is for looks. OEM bulbs are the best for visibility. Fogs appear to be brighter because they have no beam pattern.
