    200,000 is a fair bit for an '02 but not a bad price mate, gotta love the tiga mica i was pretty keen on hunting those down when I was looking at getting my car, also definately get urself some foglights, they make the front end look 10x better than having big black holes in ur front bumper

    thanks mate . yeah foggies is the first thing i plan on doing, hate those black holes haha. if i understand correctly the looms are already in place on the Spac yeah? and do you know how hard it is to cut out a stock foggie switch on the dash?
