Tiiiiiiite! EL pedals? damn y0!

Do you need them so you can find the pedals, or just for illumination so your boyfriend can find your small dick in the dark?

Whats so custom about a bolt on lighting accesorie that every other import ruiner( oops most ricers call themselves tuners...my bad ) add to their car?
Same thing goes for Altezzas, indiglow guages, l.e.d. washer nozzles, l.e.d. valve stem caps, side markers( though these aren't quite as bad ), a black light mounted to the headliner,....etc.etc. Do any of these mods sound familiar? Is your car set up for Autosound competitions( at least some of these mods can be cleany integrated into an installation ) ?

i don't try to rip people for appearance mods, but some of the current ones are garbage....save your money, spend it on body mods if you want your car to stand out! A set of shaved door handles, a shaved trunk lid, and a clean body kit will be appreciated much longer than the impression people get from this weeks current lighting accessory.

When you start looking for body mods( assuming you take my $0.02 ), try looking other places than SuperStreet or Import tuner for inspiration. I have looked at these, and the custom imports are all starting to look alike? Can no one in the custom import show car scene come up with something original anymore? I looked through an import tuner about 2 months ago, and I counted 5 cars with the same Skyline tail light conversion ( 3 of wich were at the same show! ).

If you want to make your car stand out, try this philosophy," cleaner is better ", or maybe, " Less is more ". adding fiberglass to your car doesn't always add to you car, sometimes removing something increases the cars appeal more than just bolting another bulky wing on.

Sorry for the rant, and don't take anything personally, i am just on an ANTI-STUNNA control mission as of the past few weeks,.....Later

The ricers aka tuners that do mods for looks do so to make their cars stand out. But there really is no way to do that. If you get a body kit someone else has had it or will have it soon. Really the only way to make your car stand out is to make it as fast as you really can. Well that is my opinion anyway

just stick in the fuse box, attach it to a fuse for the headlights or the cornerlights. easiest way dude. hook the red wire to a fuse, and ground the black one. dont let them ******** bust on you. u want el pedals? u put on el pedals. F*ck rice. JDM is becoming more and more rice everyday. pretty soon everyone is gonna have JDM hondas and then what?? it wont be "original". this aint japan.

NOT TRUE........no matter how fast you think you can make your car, there will always be somebody faster........if you spend a grand on i/h/e........do you really think your car will stand out.....hell no........but if you spend it on looks, you will give your car little more personality and character.........i'm tired of haters flaming people cuz of little cosmetic they do to there car........., some people can barely afford their car payment, much less an Apex exhuast or Spoon products, so with the money they have left over, let them do what they want in peace......yeah some of the people do makes you wanna laugh..........i see plenty of -looking cars around town, that make me want to point and laugh, but respect people and their taste.........a lot of you flame everyone who does an appearance mod thats not JDM, but would you really have the ***** to walk up to someone's riced out car and flame them in person?

plus if i drove a civic, focus, integra LS, non-turbo eclipse or any 16+ sec car, there is no way i'd even spend money to make it faster........you can't unless you do an expensive engine swap or turbo uprgrade.........i would spend it all on appearance upgrades........yeah, it wouldn't be fast, but at least i'd turn heads and pic up some hood rats

open your fuse box, and on the lid is a chart to what slot has what. then find the fuse for your dash lights and then find the wiring coming outta that.
