Default What mod should I do next? *pics* 56k nono

My bamboo bank that I got from Taiwan cracked in half today (too dry here in AZ) and I discovered $106.75 worth of quarters that I have been saving over the past couple of years.





So naturally extra money goes towards the box.

I can't decide between spoiler or fog lights. Both are around $200, spoiler just over and fogs just under.

Spoiler would complete the look of the box but no other real function. Fogs would fill in those ugly holes on the front of the car and would actually improve visability at night.




Help me out here, what do you guys think?

I LIKE the factory fogs...they really set off the front end of the car. They blend in with the overall look of the car too...not like aftermarket, that look like they are just stuck to the bumper.

The spoiler is nice, but personally I think that it breaks up the blocky look of the rear end too much. I bought a box...I want to see a box from every angle!

The fogs are not very bright, but I love the look of them. I hate seeing foglight blanks on any car, it looks cheap. I say go with the fogs.

Yes fog lights are cool, but try changing your stock steering wheel!

I didn't get them on either of my xB's because they aren't bright at all, and they are way overpriced....

the fogs make a huge differance at night, at least mine do.
when I turn them on it really expands the peripheral beam of your headlights

fogs. I'm glad I didn't pay dealer price for mine but I probably would have either way. Completes the front end of the car IMO.

Looks like fog is the majority, and I like the idea of putting Luminics bulbs in them since I am already getting a set for the headlights anyways.

Fogs. Turn your headlamps off and you can see what they light up, then turn your headlamps back on. There is a difference. You can also replace the bulbs with Luminics.

Someone will say it, so I will counter now... YES PARKED..
