Any idea what resulted in the horsepower increase?

I believe the deadly combo of rear fog lights and side markers resulted in the increase.

Thanks for the pics! The exact color I'm getting. I'm guessing b/c the pics were taken during the day, the Christmas green dash lights are very subtle looking. Oh well, I'm more stoked about the graphite wheels. I missed those on my old IS300!
