New 03 EB MCS in Orlando

Hi!!!

Picked up a sweet 03 EB MCS with 10K miles. Drives nice and clean...no mods. I love the car!!! Picked it up as a second car. My weekend car is my 500HP STI

Noob question:
I want to add the two fog lights that I see a lot of people run right below their bonnet stripes. Where can pick up a set? Hows installation...I hate electrical work?

Yeah, Im familiar with the search button. I use that more than anything else.

My MCS and STI are different beasts. The ride is much smoother in the MCS, but the STI has a lot of suspension work. The steering is far better in the MCS even with a lot of steering, strut and bushing work on the STI. Cant even compare the two on the power. The STI pushes a bit over 500hp to all the wheels and the MCS....well it stock. The seats are about the same. Braking...the STI can stop on a dime compared to the MCS. Car sound.....STI rattles more inside than the MCS but the boxer engine in the STI sounds 10x better than the MCS.
