Black ones from AM that are always out of stock. Couldn't stand the glaring orange on a black car. They stuck out like a sore thumb. Need to find some stealth amber bulbs though. Had to run to walmart () and get some regular amber ones in the mean time.

Maybe. They just need to be the right color. I prefer the look of incandescent bulbs.

Yeah I have amber LEDs, they are nice and orange, but white when they're off. I tend to agree though, I do like the regular bulb light spread, but I like the more vibrant color and instant on/off of LEDs.

I think the LEDs look stupid behind a clear lens during daylight

BMR's directions say 240, I just double-checked. Sounds like your talking about the bolt that connects it to the diff.

Interesting. Most of the aftermarket parts ive installed use the factory torque. No I was talking about the UCA to chassis bolts (both front and rear)

BMR instructions says the bolt under the rear seat torque to 240 ft/lb. Not sure what factory is but I could not loosen it without a long pipe on my breaker bar. So It was a lot more the 129 ft/lb. The other two bolts for the mount are 129 ft/lb. This on on my 2013 older car might be different.

I'll be picking up a pair of gt500 mufflers from a guy locally on Thursday. Getting them for 175. Once I have 800+ laying around, I'll get the Corsas! Sorry Burton and Patrick it's just too good to pass up right now.

Not bad. To get it looking good, $175 is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Sean, no worries. Just know that you'll be $175 (plus install time from yourself you'll never get back) short when you do get the Corsas

Just giving you grief and kidding

I didn't know you were actually muffler-less. At that point, no choice. If you couldn't swing the cost of the Corsas, GT500 for now, then recoup cost later. No worries, you're still accepted on this forum
