LOL yea man people have been hounding me for info but I answer every single PM so it's all good.

Splat, the exhaust is not loud at all. Just damn expensive.

Everyone else, again, I appreciate the praise. I'm glad to have inspired so many. The SC is a car that has the potential to be great, it just needs to be brought out with carefully selected mods.

I was asked for a pic of the lights. It's horrible but it's the best I can muster at night. The lights are so intense that photographing them accurately is almost impossible.

Fog lights look more white than the HID headlights. Does your HID more towards white (4000K) or blue (6000K)?
I guess that PIAA Plasma bulbs are pretty white.

Thanks.

The HID's are 4100k. They are more white than anything else until you approach the cut off where they are blue and purple. The PIAA plasmas are white but have purple hues at certain angles. Piaa has other colors for you and if white is what you like then check out the Xtreme White series. I've had great luck with those. My older LED wedge bulbs were much more purple than these new ones. The older ones kept burning out. These are more on the bluish side but they still match the hids at cut-off angles.

I've come to the conclusion that it's impossible to catch the true hues on camera. That pic is not very representative of how it looks in person. Especially since the distance and angle that you view the lights from widely varies the way they appear.

Thank you very much for your input. It helps me a lot for my next project. (HID upgrade)
I was concerning about what I shuld do with the fog lights after head light upgrade.

This is absolutely true Jose.....you just cannot capture the correct color variations associated with all of the kelvin ratings. Plus, what would seem blue to me could be purple to another...and so forth....otherwise, your lights look great.....
