Does anyone know what size I need to order for the fogs from vvme.com? There are a ton of different ones.

The headlights were 9007-3...but I'm unsure on the fogs.

I think I'm going with 8k again, to match top/bottom.

That's a Lightning 2v you're thinking of. I'm talking about a 5.4 4v and putting a S/C on that. Either Positive displacement or Centi would fit just fine. I'd lean to the Centri or turbo though. I will admit, getting the 4v in there is like squeezing a fat chick into spandex.


I always love posting this picture...

A couple cans of spray paint from autozone haha, didn't cost much at all.

Just cleaned them up, taped off the tip and sprayed them.
