The fog lights...I'll let you search on that.

The intake...looks like an Ebay one. You could change the filter on it, but you probably won't notice a difference.

Foglights are way too big you are better off going with A.P.T foglights..

Get an AEM Dry Flow Filter for the intake and you're all set.

Also, go with either the APT/VRD Fog's or the OEM's. All the other ones look like poopie in my opinion.

i agree i wasn't really worried with the intake i mean i could make one out of pvc piping and get the same gain lol
just wondering if a better filter would give a better outcome or sound

and for fogs i was feeling the vrd knock offs on ebay the apt's or whatever

thanks everyone

the apts arent vrd knockoffs, they are the REAL manufacturers of the foglights. Vertex racing just jacked the price up

yes, the word is they are the manufactures that produced them for vertex racing who decided to sell them for a huge profit. Then found out and decided to sell them on their own. Many people have gotten in a vertex box from apt

the APT is a better kit to install.......the other ones I have installed did not use the stock harness that is already in the car and we had to run a wire and it sucked.PLus the other ones fitment is ok at best,it is a little off on the snugness.APT fits perfect and they really do look cleaner.

My APTs came right from Ebay and shipped from Japan in like 5 days......the seller even sent me the Sparks manual via email on how to install......

apt is a great seller, they answers question really quickly. Rosedelany806 bought his used and one of the boots was missing and he emailed them and I think they sent out 2 new ones for free.
