New Car

[silver2003PR5]

Wow, I'm going to pick up my car on friday and i can't wait. There's one other person in hagerstown with a PR5 and when i see them i give'em a dirty look. LOL. I wanted to post this question... What are some really cheap options for incresing my rides feel, sound, or overall performance. Talking $100 just to start. I'm getting into a new car, laon, and appt at the same time so you know what i mean. If any one has had that feeling, of wow that was cheap and llok what it did, then lemme know. I appreciate it and see ya on the road.

PS i saw on here the showing of love to other PR5'ers, I'm all for it!

Thanks - light question

THanks to everyone for those quick responses. I 'll look into those. I also am wondering about my stereo i have a Pioneer DEH-P9400MP (obviously a x-mas gift) That is a single DIN head unit. This obviously will not fit the whole left after factory stereo removal. What do you recommend. I want this stereo, it very nice and grandma would be offended if i did'nt use it more that 5 months. I refuse to consider circut city after what they did to my 94 Proteg. Jerks. So anyway, if you have pics that'd be even cooler but i am really looking forward to customizing this car, though i love it already! Another thing this has been on my mind, when highbeams are in use are the actuall lowbeam lamps still active, and are the fogs still on in HI. I'm hoping yes on both accounts. I know it's trivial but means alot to me.Thanks again for the great ideas!!!

When the Hibeams are on the lows are still on but the fogs turn off. In most states it's illegal to have more than 4 front facing lights on while driving, if all of them stayed on then that would be 6 foward facing bulbs on.

:-: Will the dash kit look good? I c you have a single DIN alpine, does it look good.

:-: THanks for the light info. I can understand the law being in place but it'd be nice to have'em all going around here. Headlamp positioning and thw pattern or swatch of light that my car throws out must be perfect. It's my thing. My 94 Proteg's single lamp heads out perform my mother 99 accord in HI. I was upgraded to PIAA Super white 65/45 perf @ 110/85. Here in lies another question. What type bulb do each of the six lamps use. I have those 9004 PIAA's sitting right here!?!

H3=fogs, H7=Heads, 9005=Hi's.
