| It is an automatic. I don't get into the throttle too much, but my wife says she can feel some gains and says that it doesn't take near as much throttle to accelerate.
She did say that she burned some rubber today without even trying.  |

| After reading through it there is one typo. The other socket is supposed to be 12 mm not 1 mm. |

| Don't have any fog lights. Sorry. I think this one seems to be high enough not to get in the way. |

| Its an ebay item. Just be patient and you can get it for around $120 shipped. It really is a good sounding and quality part. I have been very pleased thus far. |
