Thanks for the quick responses guys, appreciate it. I'll looking into the custom projectors even though it can be a real pain in the ass since I've done it before. I'm probably going to end up with a SRI since I know it sounds pretty good on my friends 3.0 CL.
And by the way I do have the I4, which I'm hoping is a lot better on gas than my previous car (5-speed IS300 that only took premium fuel).
