Could I get some suggestions on how to get started on a couple things that I need to get taken care of....
1. How do I shop of the correct fog light replacement bulbs. 2. Any guesses on how much it will cost to repair some deep scratches on the back bumper and re-paint both the front and back bumpers 3. How important is weight when shopping for 18 inch wheels. Any pointers for shopping for wheel sets for the CSVT would be appreciated.
Thanks!
PS Took my car to Midas for front pads... they had a b*tch of a time getting the right ones.

1. Bring in your bulb and make sure what you get matches. If you have the stock fogs you should be able to use the little finder thingy in the parts stores to find the correct bulbs (I think they cover fogs also)
3. Depends. Do you go out and cruise around looking cool in your car or do you enjoy how the car performs ? Looks up the difference between sprung and unsprung weight and remember that wheels are unsprung weight. Pointers : Wheel FAQ
Lighter is much, much better. 1 lb of rotational weight is equivelent to I believe 10 lbs of dead weight.. so if you get wheels that are 5 lbs lighter, you've effectively cut 200 lbs off the weight of the car.
