tint overlays on tails, tanabe NF210s, wheels, tanabe exhaust (maybe TRD I forget), and a few other odds and ends.

As far as I know, my xD was the only real modified (outwardly) one at United other than Mike Ma's orange xD.

My wheels, overlays (front bumper, tail lights, turn signals), tints, the fin, the drop and that was uber shiney caught their eye.

Oooh you installed the fogs! Where did you put the switch for them? What was the installation like?

That black piece on your bumper looks better on the xD than it does on the tC. Cleaner with the defined lines on the xD's bumper.

The installation was time consuming and I located the switch per instructions.

Did you by any chance take high-res shots of the materials? I want to see what the kit looks like, or at least some up-close high-res shots of the lights themselves and where they're mounted. How bright are they? Make any difference while driving?

Here is a high res shot of one of the lights installed. The quality is on par with the rest of the car. The foglight uses an H8 bulb, so I guess it is bright as the headlights, I installed Sylvania Silverstar ultra lights the first day I got the car, so I can't compare to stock lights. The foglights 'brighten' up the road in front and illuminate to the sides, but nothing drastic. The Sylvania's were a hughe difference from the stock headlight bulbs.

I am looking for a set of fogs that lights up the road more, as far as bumps and what not. Low profile tires and lowering springs = me not being a happy camper when I hit bumps, pot holes, etc.

Thank you very much for this. How do they clip in?

The stock headlights with the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra bulbs do a great job of lighting up the road - very close to HIDs ( my previous car had HIDs and these come very very close).

The foglights are a three piece affair; the light itself, the front bezel and a rear bracket that is held together through the opening in the bumper by four screws. The kit comes with a self adhesive template that you locate by the four screw holes, and then trim (I used a Dremel tool) some bumper material to allow the front bezel to mount flush.

The front bezel is concave and the factory panel (black part) is flat (and has clips where the foglight's screws go). Hope that helps.

I have silverstar ultras in already, and feel as if the road directly in front of my car isn't lit up enough. Riding around in my brother's xA I see every bump, as does he because he has to avoid everything, since he's SLAMMED on coil overs.

How much of the bumper did you have to cut (silver on yours) or did you just cut the black fake brake duct piece... It's hard to understand how they actually mount.

You might have to adjust your headlights since your car now sits much lower than stock. Here are the instructions for the foglights:
