    Interior makes sense, the rest don't.

        because it's pointless!

        in order to get a desecnt amount of front turn signals a pair is gonna run u about 50$; and that's if their even good; u neeed tower ones that have bulbs facing in all direction; and then u need load equalizers in order for them not to flash as if their not blown;

        as for the tailights it's more important for better led's as the output is gonna be garbage; stickkkkkkkkkkkk to just the interior;

        if u realli don't like the look of the amber bulb showing thru a clear lense; i wud recommend going wit a chrome dipped bulb; looks silver but lights up amber

              My 1.5 Pro does that every day on the way to work lol

              It takes just as long to get up to 100 too.

                  Stop bragging about the civic, lol. One of my friends suggested getting a Motec standalone ecu. Anyone have any experience with these?

                    I think your friend should stop re-watching The Fast & The Furious.

                      Haha thanks fire I'll make sure to tell him that. He has a Scion tc if that makes a difference though. What do you guys suggest for a standalone or if anyone even uses them? This is one of the things I really have no clue about. Hence the newbie in my sig. Also, I was wondering if lengthening the IAT sensor wires was possible. I changed my intake, yet again, and now the wires too short to reach the intake. I think I remember reading someone else lengthened the wires, but just wanted to make sure there would be no problems. Thanks a bunch.

                        Stand along engine management is for when you need to adjust the engine management to a point beyond what can be done with with factory computer involved ie: highly tuned N/A, high boost, or race applications.

                          Thanks for the info fire. Now I know not to waste money on anything like that. So what's the difference between that and a piggyback system?
