I got a Sport as well. I can't say that putting 55watt HID's in the sport will compare to putting them in a GT unless you upgrade the projector in the sport.
The GT has the proper projector for HID's that gives you the right cutoff, and it's adjustable. HID's in a sport without upgraded projectors will end up projecting too high and pissing off/endangering others on the road.
There's nothing wrong with the Sport trim. I got it mostly because the deal was much better from my dealer vs. the GT he had. My last car was decked out with leather and all the fancy s***, but it was a P5 putting less than 100whp to the ground. My Sport MS3 doesn't make me miss my old car much at all (although I do prefer the exterior look of the Protege5 to the MS3).
Oh wait, there's a Sport vs. GT thread in these forums. Sorry about the derail!
That NASIOC thread is a good read! I'm on page 11! I was drooling over WRX's back in '04. And I'd love to have an STI or '09 WRX given the opportunity.
my lights arent high at all. i actaully think they can be adjusted atlittle higher which i will do when i feel like pulling off my bumper again
as i said, IMO the GT isnt worth it b/c the blose system i would have pulled out b/c its not good enough quality. which means my radio as well so thats the fuel computer taken out. i would have upgradeds the factory HIDs b/c they are bright enough for my liking, the leather seats are nice. but i hate cold seats when its cold or hot seats when its hot.
i dont want anyone scratching or puncturing the leather.
so the only thing i want off the GT are the LED tail lights
