I don't think my interior lights come on when I unlock the doors. If I think of it I'll let you know for sure. I have the outside lighting disabled since I don't want the HID's flashing.

The black stripes will look nice, red and black go good together. They might make it difficult to wax the car though, you should try to find a wax that doesn't leave a white residue.

On a side note, one of the LED strips under my headlights went out completely the other day. I haven't messed with it so I'm hoping a wire just came loose.

Well I ended up reseting the whole system and it worked :). The light now come on when I unlock the doors :D. Later I read in the owners manual that it's the button with a car with 4 doors open to set this -on the center ceiling console.

I'm going to try to take off has much kids from the GP now since now I gotta pay sales tax in order to get the tag. I'm hoping to personalize it to say MALEFIC

Those buttons on the overhead are confusing. I pushed them when I first got my car and the interior lights didn't come on when I opened the door. So once I got the lights to work I haven't messed with them since.

I agree, haven't touched them since I bought the car and turned on dome lighting for when the doors are open..

occasionally I hit the on that turns all lights on if I'm driving at night and the wife wants to check on the dog..

Recaro makes "racing seat" style baby seats IIRC there's a red/black one. I know there's one that matches the STi's blue/black interior. Not that I'm planning on needing one anytime soon.

I would do either Corsa or Borla. Corsa sounds amazing on everything, but I have heard Borla on a friends G8 and it's really nice too. Catbacks don't really gain power though, so keep that in mind.

If you want to run 12's, you'll probably need headers, a decent tire and a tune.

Go with the Corsa system, You won't regret it.. It's a pretty penny, But its a pure stainless system.. It's built very well.

I bought mine from Precision Motorsports of Florida.

In your opinion. Also, Why is yours rusted in the rear?

His is rusted because Solo uses the cheaper 400 series stainless and Corsa uses the more expensive 300 series stainless.

Which is why you should go with the Corsa system. Outstanding quality :grin:

Decent quality stainless shouldn't rust.... especially in a year or two... The cheaper catbacks/headers will always be less quality because it costs more to produce.

400 series stainless will develop surface rust but it won't rust through like plain steel. Most factory exhaust systems are 400 series stainless, and basically only the expensive aftermarket systems are 300 series stainless which doesn't rust at all.
