If you like LED and Euro style, you might consider waiting to purchase any LED tail lights. I've heard rumors of a LED Euro tail light kit that is currently under development. I'm not at liberty to say any more, but I'm hoping to see some prototype of them soon!

I hear that.
I was reading about an air intake system that was "easy to install", so I looked up the manufacturer on-line and dowloaded the directions. At the top of page 2, I saw the words "Using a jig saw, cut..." and imediatly shut the webpage down. Car maintenance that requires a jig saw doesn't sound very "easy" to me.

Thanks for taking the time to photograph and document everything. Very handy reference, as I didn't know much about this cool mod.
