Crap, never even heard of it. Those are cheap **** rims, headlights, tailights, and probably just a leather kit done at a dealership...

However, dealerships have been known to make their own "special edition" cars. There was a mercury dealer here in town that sold Cougars with body kits and some extra things and gave it its own special badging and such, and a limited quantity thing. So thats probably all that it is, some stupid dealer thrown together package...

The tail lights are painted Morrettes (sp), the normally come in a flat black... not cheap by anymeans.. I have seen them for around $450... As for the headlights I think they would have been better if they painted them like this:

(I yellowed out the license plate for the picture that I have shows the actual numbers/letters, and I don't want to post it since I do not know who the owner is)

I agree that they do look better painted like that but why go with the morettes (kinda fugly) when you can get STI projecters

True true, that's what I have on my car and it COMPLETLY changes the whole look of the car... It gives it a nice mean look when looking straight at the car, and seeing those two little round circle of light, I love it!

One thing I don't like about the Morrettes is that grill piece, I understand that they kind of have to have it for the design of the one lens, but I was never a fan of those grill pieces. To me it makes it look cheaper... :-(
