Hey cool man, that is a cool car! I was thinking about geting more blue lights for my Accord, but it is illegal here to have red, blue, and green, (not so bad for green).

Right now for lights I got these things called tireflys and they are something you should look into. I have had them for over 2 months and have just loved them. Here is the exact thing I have...

They get me alot of attenton, some wanted, some not. Hehe

I will keep an eye on this thread. Keep it up!

Be careful with those tireflys. I received some free ones from Hot Import Nights. I put them on my sister's car and I can't get one of them to come off which is a pain because I need to put more air in her tires.

Overall, I think tireflys are rated RICE.

You know Crazy I had one get stuck one me. I define stuff as needing extra tools to get the thing off. I just went and got an extra pair of rubber gloves and it came off with some effort.

The only thing that really pissed me off was one went out on me in the first week. So, I just ordered another pack since they are cheap. I did sent a email to them telling them about it and possible RMA, it went unanswered to so FYI to all I would be wary getting anything to pricy from this company.

But, I stand by what I said. And not that I take personal offense, but I do have a ricer man, itÂ’s a Honda Accord and I have had it for two years. I have loved that car to death and sometime late last year I decided to add a cool air intake.

I liked it a lot so I then preceded and added a custom exhaust and a high flow cat, custom 17 inch rims (6 spoke ultra light weight aluminum) and Faulken rubber (512 style) . I have also messed with the engine management lately to get it sucking in more air which although is killing my gas it has really helped me hit a better top end speed and faster acceleration, see torque.

So yea, you know man, its ok I like to upgrade my car. I am learning as I go, and although I am not into adding baby blue food coloring to some retarded drop down body kit I think its fine I enjoy working on a car that has been nothing but joy driving for the past year.

I hate being thrown into this 2 fast 2 furious category. I was not around back when my father worked on cars but he has said that he used to do the same thing, sept with a 67 Chevy or have you.

Sorry man just bothered me. I am not a reckless driver, which is another category that a "ricer" is thrown into. I love the sound of my exhaust, and the extra maneuverability that my tires give. I have never gotten a speeding ticket or an accident, and been driving for years.

Man...I got to stop. I could go on all night about some issues with our culture. See degrading of women next...

My definition of a ricer is All Show No Go or All Bottle No Throttle. Hes actually makin perfomance mods. So what if he adds a few little things to make it look nicer. That doesnt make him a ricer. Hell atleast he didnt put a soup can on the thing and call it a muffler and say he pimped it out.

I wasn't calling you guys rice. I was just saying the tireflys are rice. They are a cheap accessory that produces light when your tires spin (no performance gain and they look aweful during the day). Kind of reminds me when I put baseball cards in the spikes of my bicycle when I was 6 yrs old because it made an "awesome" noise. Thinking about it...I don't see any kids doing that anymore. What happened to the youth today???

My point is, I thought they were cool at first, but the appeal died quickly. Oh yeah.. and they attract cops



ducati748r, do you have any interior shots?

Nice shots, Duc. I'm not running any in my truck right now, but I'm kind of a StreetGlow freak. One thing that looks cool in the right spot is some plexi with a reverse vinyl graphic on the back. Spray it all with your favorite UV paint , and toss in some StreetGlow blacklights. Of course, PC cathodes work great on the interior, too. 12V all around! Good luck!

I remember the first time I saw the Scion at a Toyota dealership while I was drooling on a Tundra...

The salesman explained that the Scion was designed to appeal to a 14 y/o demographic. When I mentioned that a 14 y/o isn't old enough to drive, he said,"No, but they are old enough to start begging their folks to buy them one"...

I found that funny.

Although the mods done to both those Scions would be ruined within minutes around here after the first washboard gravel road you hit, I do have appreciation for the craftsmanship. The car itself reminds me a bit of an old Subaru Sambar released in 1961, but never in the US.



There are more modern versions that look even more similar to the Scion, but still with motors too small for the American market (typically under 1300cc...for a 7 passenger car!).

I'm can't really dig the xBs. The xA or the TCs look nice, I think. This guy I know has one, he was one of the first people in the area to have one. It's silver and sitting on 20s, with three TVs (one in dash, one in each headrest), and a crazy sound system. It doesn't look bad, persay...I just can't get over the whole they-look-so-much-like-a-box-it's-crazy thing! roflmao

Anyway, a vehicle is a vehicle, and I applaud anyone for stepping out of the stock genre and trying to do something different and unique, especially with Imported cars.

Best of luck and definitely post pictures here if you plan to do some stuff you feel the Pimps here would be interested in seeing.
