Oh Oh - Slimsride - 01-24-2006

give me a ticket...for what...parking and having them on?
I'll throw a donut at the cops if they try and give me one.....Seriously if i'm sitting in a parking lot...with them on..there is NO reason to get a ticket...besides i have no intrest in running with them on anyhow....
Oh Oh - Flofocus - 01-25-2006
Dont throw him a donut, he'll find other things wrong with your car if you do. ;)
Oh Oh - ANTHONYD - 01-25-2006
Wow, the car looked good. Looked the operative word here.
What's the point?
Kida reminds me of the madd tyte programmable horns from the 80's.

Oh Oh - ZX3guy2000 - 01-25-2006
nice little toy!!
Oh Oh - Slimsride - 01-25-2006
The point...hmmm....
I guess the point here is to be different. Now, i'm the type of person that doesn't like alot of flash...like big ugly wings, and crazy skirt systems. I like subtle. My car has a few things done to it yes...but unless you look at it, you say "hmmm there is something different here" And thats what i'm going for. If I'm sitting there and my car looks fairly stock, and i flick these things on...people are gonna be like "whoa" didnt' expect that.... and again, that's what i'm going for.
I'm trying to keep all my mods clean, and well installed, to give it a clean almost stock look. Yes i'm aware that Strobes are kinda old school, or some may even say they are "GHEY"....but hey thats cool.
The point, is to be different. Cold Lake is a small city..and i have the ONLY lowered ZX5 in town...The only one with a Cold Air Intake, and now the only one with strobes...so my plan worked.

Kudos then.
Strobes are HARLDY subtle....
Your opinion is ALL that matters.
You handle critisisim A LOT better than most on here.
Oh Oh - Slimsride - 01-25-2006
Critisim is a good thing, some use it to be assmunchers however.
So in my Opinion....if you can't take critism or atleast some teasing, dont' bother posting your pics..
again thats my opinion.
Oh Oh - ANTHONYD - 01-25-2006
I have creative right to critisize....
I have a bug deflector the size of nantucket strapped to my car.
Oh Oh - NefCanuck - 01-25-2006
and I have an exhaust tip hanging out the back of my car that looks like a handle :P
('sides, as others have said, as long as your happy with your ride, who cares what others think? :D)

Only if I push the engine past 5K or so, then you hear the baby fart cannon a-going :P

Oh Oh - nass - 01-25-2006
oh I get it you use those when you have an engine fire a la VW and then the strobes go on and you can find your way out of the car. Gotcha.
hehe but being serious it's not my thing on the outside. I would put it inside if anything. You're right on the being different than others. The thing you have to keep in mind is does being different have you put on something not that useful ie: strobes, spinnaz, star jones sized spoiler for the sake of being different. It'd be better if you could be different with useful addons that are worth the money for both performance and looks.

Just curious does it just make the stock lights flash or did u have to add lights to it. Anwyas +1 for being different. IMO no different then el-wire underglow or anything of that stuff, it's all just for getting attention :D
Oh Oh - paolo - 01-25-2006

No, it's actually a strobe bulb. i had to drill a 1/2 inch hole in the back of my tails...i just had to make sure i had room for my actual reverse bulb....
Tonight i do my headlights...pics to follow UNFORTUNATELY...BWHAHAHAH
Oh Oh - meford4u - 01-25-2006
i kinda like it
but then again we have leds under the car
and our car kicks ass!
suck it you non belivers. keep up the work. good or not.
Oh Oh - euro_zx5 - 01-25-2006
Well... around here it's common and a joke, usually installed on lawnmowers (Civics and the like). But for your clean ride, without you abusing them or trying to pull people over, it looks great. I love the little unnecessary toys... just wish I could afford them all.
So for the headlights, do you also have to drill a hole... or will there be a special bulb and/or harness to adapt that?
