More details.

Also, in terms of pricing, all parts and mods are clumped together to form a single pricing scheme, based upon different OEM trims. There are no prices listed for individual items. The magazine normally does list prices for body kits, though.

People now stare at my car with its empty fogs, thinking it's some mod. Just a warning to you peeps out there - watch out for your fogs! Peace to all my people.

Globe,

Maybe I'm assuming too much, but the thief probably wanted my fogs because they are yellow, rather than clear. Seeing how the yellows only come with factory installed HIDs, they probably wanted their non-HID GS to have the yellow fogs. Halogen lowbeams come with clear fogs, as you may already know. It's really stupid because all GSs come with fogs as standard, so there's no reason to take them other than the color. Blah.
Maybe a GS400 owner stole your foglights as many GS400's come with the halogen headlamps/ CLEAR foglights. Plus many GS300's(mine included) came with the factory HID's/ Yellow foglights

The fogs are really a non-issue at this point. Thanks for everyone's support, though. Whatever the reason for them being stolen, it sucks any way you look at it.

But onto the good stuff... more pictures! I think the last five are even nicer than the first five.

1SickLex, there is no invididual pricing for the Tom's kit listed in the magazine. I'll scan the pricing for the entire setup, although it's in yen amounts.

I'll get pics up right after dinner. Have to do all of this by the time my Patriots play at 9pm.
