With the streets around here, 6 may not be enough! A lot of these roads have no streetlamps. I have the lowers on a seperate switch, so I can pick and choose my lighting. Upper, lower, both or none.
I don't think I will lower it, as I had a Brembo 2011 GT, and it road like a truck compared to this. I like the lower look, but don't want to give up the ride comfort.

Thanks all!
The install of the Roush lower fogs was a royal pain. First the bumper comes off, and using a template, the holes are cut. The housings have an adhesive, then are clamshelled and screwed together. Behind the bumper itself, there is a bit of cutting to do as well, but Roush includes some rust inhibitor for the area after cutting. Once installed, I had purchased a new Harness with a switch to wire it up. Finding power was a bit of an issue, as I wanted to retain the factory lamps, but didn't want all 4 or nothing. All in all, I believe it was worth the extra effort. I only wish that Roush had included LED bulbs instead of the incadescent ones. But I found some on Ebay and they are on the way. As soon as they arrive, I will get some night photos posted.

I hear that Roush splitter is pain too. Your car looks outstanding. Just the right amount of "Check me out". I love that color leather. I would've gotten that if I didn't want the Recaros so bad.

Actually the Roush Spoiler isn't too bad, if your disregard thier instructions! It actually bolts up to 90% of the factory holes. Just 3 on each end, and I just used stainless steel screws.
I loved the Recaro seats too! Wish they did come in saddle...and in convertibles. But the stock seats are pretty comfy none the less.
