The turn signals are little light modules that plug into the back of the pod. With the new cluster came a new set of turn signals, although they look identical to the old ones to me - I suspect the only difference is the length of the wires so they fit around and behind the guages properly.

Very nice mods Paul. I have noticed that you have started to focus on cosmetic mods now that you have pretty much exhausted all performance and suspension mods!! What's next on the mod list? Rear bumper, side skirts, front bumper? Come on, spill the beans!!!

How much was the new guage cluster?

Did you have a rear STB before you did the EDFC mod? If you did, what STB did you have and what do you have now. I am guessing you did not have one to begin with as I have not read any posts from you regarding it.......

I have the Cusco rear STB and I need to find out what I can replace it with when I do my Tein Flex / EDFC mod next month.

Hehe, thanks. You saw I also got the RMM strut bar though. Sure adds some bling bling under the hood!!!

I'd still like to get the 6 piece Tom's kit at some point too. Then I think I'm *really* done with the suspension. (yeah right, hehe)

$151 from da man, Steve Ganz!!! That's in 'impulse range' so I couldn't resist!

Yup, I had the Tom's. Still on with EDFC, no problems. It works fine because the mounts are separate from the 'bar', and the EDFC units are high above the bar. I can't take a pic now cuz the lining is back in but trust me it works fine.

So maybe my Cusco might work just fine as the mounts are also separate from the bar.

good pick ups bit! the lights r a must, give the rear a more clean matching look, the dash looks very fresh..and the strut bar is a very niece piece...not 2 much bling, just enough i guess
