Just to be clear, I didn't feel in any way, that Cody was shaking his finger at me.  I for one appreciate his input... thanks Cody.

I feel bad for mentioning it. I merely wanted to make them aware, not discourage. Like I said I wouldn't personally be opposed to such a transaction. 

Not sure running euro lights is a felony though, is it? Regardless if it is or isn't I've got them on my car ;-).

I would love to go full stromung, but I don't see myself keeping this car more than another year or two so I can't justify it.  Any economical solutions to this issue?  Besides just gutting the cat (I only drive about 3-4k/yr, but that still seems uncool).
