so can civics..... sleeper is when any car is faster than it really is. Not only a slow car that is fast. SLEEPER can also be a Z06 vette TWIN TURBO'd and running 9's or less. a Z06 is already fast but after TT you can only imagine.....

A sleeper is definitely a car that would normally look average and then blows you away. I don't really agree that a car that everyone already thinks is fast going faster is a sleeper. I think there is the element of stealth surprise. A Corvette Z06 is not stealth nor is a regular base Vette.

Either way our 8 is the opposite, not as fast as it looks in a straight line. Around the corners another story.

^Thanks, And as far as looks, not really worried about that anymore. Everything i'm doing is strictly for Solo this year since i'm doing some National tour events.

It will be getting a BBK shortly though

I'm not a big fan of blacking out the 8's tail lights. People are crappy drivers as it is and having my tail lights be dimmer than stock is just asking for trouble.

The fog lights are different bulbs. Not stock. They are men`t to be yellow. I like the look of yellow fogs and for driving in the dark or bad weather yellow is way better then white i think.

The tail lights are still plenty bright. they have all LED`s in them so when i hit the brake pedal it is bright. Have had police behind me never gotten pulled over haven`t had anyone not see them or tell me they are hard to see. But thanks for your opinion.

Thanks kyle

Yellow is definitely a better color if you're really going to be driving in fog or low visibility conditions.

I have LEDs for brake lights and they are noticeably brighter than filament bulbs. That should work for you since the LEDs put out more light.
