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.

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 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.

Kudos to you then. Just that I've seen plenty of people run with stuff like that while the car's driving. No, I'm not joking.

Like I said, to each their own. As long as you're happy, that's what matters.

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

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?
