Anyone ever done this? In the p5 I bent those little light covers up and out of the way, making them actually put out some useful light. (flame away, I liked the fogs better when I could actually see them doing something)

The fogs on our cars are pretty worthless, and im wondering if there is any way to pull the lens off the housing, kinda like with the headlight assembly... and take that little guy out and hopefully get more output from these.

Yeah I purchased two tone leather when I bought the car. I went with a silver insert and black surround for the seats. The silver was the closest I could find that matched the headliner, so I went with it.

Im at work, so I cant really take many pics of it. The rear seats match as well, and it seems they have more of a bucket style in the back than before, maybe its just all in my head. oh wells. Yay for the smell of leather.

900, through the dealership, w\ a 5 year warranty on fading, cracking etc. Pricey but worth it IMO, plus I added it when I bought the car, so im paying it off with my car.

I asked about how much it would be for some rx-8 wheels while I was there, 3,000 bux. I was like riiight on, thanks but no. 200 per tire, and 500 each rim... I think ill just keep my eye on ebay for them. I figured they would have some off someones 8 that went aftermarket....
