Oh yea, its pretty much just a fan. I found some kits which include the perforated material and the fans. You remove the leather seat cover and install the pad. From there, I figure it's probably not too hard to somehow duct the AC from the rear seats. I dunno.

The vert switch is in the same place as the heated seats.

White turn signals are legal, at least in NC. White or amber in the front, red or amber in the rear.

Here is another state's (CT) laws: Link

What is actually illegal in CT (and probably many more states) is the little light on top being white since that can be seen from the side, it has to be amber.

You are right, my they do not work as a park light anymore, but they do light up white and not amber. Was thinking about changing the turn signals to amber, but we'll see.

Hmmm... I would have thought you kept Amber for turn seeing as they are not permanently on as parking light

I actually prefer the parking light delete, but if I wanted park lights (and amber blinkers) I would def use switchbacks.

I might switch them to amber, I prefer white blinkers, but amber is more visible, especially being that close to the headlight... I will be deciding this weekend.

Swapping the diff, or just the gear & pinion? And why the 3.692 instead of the 3.916 gears from the Vert?

I ask because my old 3.692 gear & pinion are collecting dust in the attic, and I've been wondering if I should try and sell them to a RWD/AT owner who wants to upgrade.

Still a 10% increase in the final drive ratio. And assuming it bolts directly, it's a heck of a lot easier to swap the diff than the gears.

I have no idea how that will affect the drive in a MT car, but I'm sure the change will be significant. G'luck!

It's a direct drop in. Even the abs tooth count is the same. I did my homework lol

Edit: slight lie, the axles use bolts and nuts rather than just bolts. I have to drill out the thread on the current axles. I sourced the OEM nuts and bolts though for cheap. Should be easy enough. Worst part is the bushing

I want to install the Sport rear diff in my 7AT at one point. May to stick with the 7AT Sport diff since I dont want to have to swap flanges. On a side note had my bumper off to install the Takeda intake and now my car's horn sounds like it has a stuffy nose. Polarity is correct on the top horn seems like it did not like being removed and reinstalled. Maybe its time for a Hella horn upgrade :0).

The RWD/AT Sport rear diff will net you LSD that you don't currently have, but the gear ratio will remain the same. If however I'm reading you want to upgrade your gear ratio from 3.357 to 3.692...

...then by all means, make me an offer.

Are those 19s or 20s? I am assuming stock ride height? Just trying to get an idea of what different size wheels look like at stock ride height since I am in MN and would rather not lower my car down.
