I have it in my sig, they are made by a german company but they cost quite alot. If you want to buy one we could order 2 to save on shipping?

It's fookin lovly I would prefer an 8v turbo, it's more unique plus it's cheaper to get 200 bhp out of than TB's.
thats one sweet ride, cool vid too, is that an mr2 that got the dust?

Liking the car mate looking real good now, especially when comparred to the first pics of it on your web site. Out of interest is the rear middle brake light a standard thing on the pontiac?
Also do you guys on the otherside of the Atlantic have a simular forum?

What did you use for the clear rear fog light by the way?The rear fog lights are not (yet) mandatory in Canada, so I used this for a halogen backup light. Looks cleaner this way IMO.

Also do you guys on the otherside of the Atlantic have a simular forum?The rear brake light is standard. As far as the forum goes, there isnt much interest in the Lemans, however, we are quite active HERE (http://www.daewootech.com/forum/index.php)
