Hey everyone
I want to start simple so I have a few questions-

Can I hook up fog lights that will come on when I turn the headlights on, rather than having a seperate switch?

What is a good exhaust tip (would love a cat back, but not going to spend the money right now) to replace my oem tips? I'm hoping to find black.

My sunroof visor hisses pretty loud, and is ugly, so I want to remove or replace it with A/M visor. Any suggestions?

If anyone can think of any other simple quick mods to get going let me know.

Thanks in advance for the help.

To answer your question about simple first mod. most people on here go with Tail or Head light overlays. The overlays are good, for Tail overlay you might want to take it to a local Vinyl shop for the install, its really difficult process.

Have the rear overlays on order from LBC-ebay.
Is hooking up fog lights a PITA? That is probabaly my next purchase.

overlays can be put on yourself with the help of a friend, just be very patient and take your time, they tabke about/at least 1 hour per light if you want to do it correctly.

fogs are fine for an easy mod but it depends what kind you get. you can get fogs that have a seperate switch which you push through the firewall and into the cabin, or you can get fogs with an oem plug and get 2 relay harnesses. plug one relay harness into one fog and one headlight, and plug the other harness into the other side, then your fogs will come on whenver your headlights come on. just make sure your fog lights are the same plug as your headlights, which oem fogs are.

I'm watching some fogs on ebay which have the oem hookup, so I may buy them this week.
What is the level of difficulty in doing a conversion to HID's?
Any input out there on exhaust tips?
