hey i was wondering if it keeps the front signals lit up too, and do they still blink, or is it the outer part of the tail lamp tha blinks after the mod. How can i light the turn signals and still have them blink? Oh and Craig, how much did you pay for your carbon dash i want one too, eventually!

As for the lights.....

the yellow part will blink and the coner part will be a lot brighter (like it is when the turn signals are on normally!) and the front signals remain the same!

The Stillen front lip.......

makes a HELL of a difference!!!!!!! it makes the car look a lot more aggressive and low in the front, but it's not too "ricey" thus keeping the sports sedan feel(which I like)!!! I'm just waiting to get my hands on the rest of the kit or a decently priced set of Erebuni sideskirts, then it'll look really sweet!!

um, I'm not really sure what you're asking; are you talking about front or back or both
the rear thing just switches the bulb holders for the outside of the brake light with the blinker that is right below it so both still operate normally, but the position is switched
corner light rewires-1. make corner bright all the time, regardless of turn signal 2. make the small orange bulb blink alternately with the front bumper signal - in the second case, the blinkers still operate normally except for the fact that the orange bulb will blink instead of normally just coming on solid when turn signal is on
clarify your question and I'll try to help out some more, I just don't get what you're saying (I haven't had much sleep recently so that's probably why)
as far carbon fiber dash, go to http://www.woodtrim.com and get it! I think it looks very nice and it worth it. I was looking for something to improve my interior since that's where I am most of the time and this was definitely the way to go for me. Fits pretty well and looks good. I got mine last xmas and it cost just under 200

if you want a carbon fiber dash I think the price was like 130 shipped if you go trhough me, i had a semi-group buy (more like 3 person buy)

Yeah sort of but,

the group deal price I got was too good and plus I got it painted for $100 and put on for $30!!! It doesn't look bad at all though, and to me even with the front lip only it looks better than stock.(since I have no other "real" appearance mods)

The group deal I was on...

got it for $150 w/ shipping too(I think , but can't rememeber)! $30 off the original price at that time, but for $140 and only $20 to install why miss out on it!! and if you got extra loot shoot for the whole kit, if you've seen Candiman's car, theres no beating it(except for the Erebuni kit, but whos gonna pay $1k+??)

I checked with the DPS here in Texas and they said it was an illegal mod. Anyone from texas know or hear otherwise. I did it for a little while (1 hour) and I totally dug it! I thought it looked pimp as hell, but I don't need a ticket.

Front lip...

Dang, Jonathan.... for $140 shipped, I'd get the front lip. I just have to wait until my next payday, though.

I never heard of the rear turn signal mod. Hmm who knows what the heck that is. Yea, you should wait until it heats up in your area. I hate try to splice and crimp things when your fingers are cold and frozen.

TOO COLD?!?! I did a complete front brake job and sway bar install yesterday afternoon with it being 25 degrees out. Of course it was in the garage, but the door was still open. Too cold, sheesh

you don't necessariyl need a quick splice connector, any kind will do; that's just a really easy one for most people
you can connect the wires any way you want
as far the rear signal mod, look at the webpage and there are some pics of it there

can i just...

snip the wire then put the three ends together (the two ends form the wire I cut and the new wire I add) and hold it together with one of those twisty caps that combines wires?

i wouldnt suggest using a 'wire nut'(thats what i call em ) what i would do is get some of the crimp connectors and put 2 wires in one end and crimp it, and put the other wire in the other end and crimp it. thats what i did. u can tape it up after that and it shouldnt come loose

yes you can, that will work fine. they are called wire nuts as Foo said. Just make sure to tape it up after you do that so that nothing (like water for example) could collect inside the wire nut if it got turned upside down over time
