I've recently ordered some flood lights: https://www.rx8club.com/group-buy-center-85/big-willy-puddle-lights-189002/

Once I get these I will be putting my old LED footwell lights back in. (courtesy RotaryRasp)

I contemplated changing the rest of the interior to red LEDs as well, but decided against. I think the standard white is better for reading purposes. (maybe use white LEDs instead?)

Nate: Take the ACT as many times as you need to get the score you want. Look into what score is required for the BrightFlight scholarship; $2000 a year that you could pocket out of your GI bill! I took it 4 times, if I recall.

EDIT: Eligibility and info: http://www.dhe.mo.gov/brightflight.html

Front splash guards (mud flaps) are not considered part of the "appearance package", but IMO they complete the look.
