Thanks, RallyNut

Yeah, I can't stand seeing the overdone cars either. I'm a bit of a Sube fan too, but I just can't get past the newer WRX styling. Those headlights are a little too funky for me. I work with...

If you can, try to make sure your cars are on different frequencies if your seller/dealer will let you specify them - it'll save you some $$ on buying crystal sets later... I believe there are 6...
