The lights look pimp, but are they legal? Did you smoke them from the inside? Did you use paint or what?

cruisen_15 · #3 01-30-2008, 06:47 PM

perfectly legal,atleast here that is, and if as long as you can see light through them, its a spray u use on the outside, u cant use normal spray paint or your lights wont show through.... i get the paint from a local rice shop... if you cant find them on the internet i possibly could ship them to people for a small fee, though they are like 6 or 8$ a can lol....

What happened to your exhaust? And who spray painted your lights? I should've given you some old cracked ones to paint over instead of those..heh...

Maybe theyd work on a black car.. or something...

OK, I REALLY thought I would like the tail lights... 'till I saw them.

Too much tint perhaps? The black is a little overkill - but I do think our lights, especially on the red cars, look super hot slightly tinted... I am trying to think where I saw a picture of it...

Maybe lower the tint a little by taking some acetone/paint stripper to them? I would guess that would curb some of the haters a bit at least...

1) Posting pictures or sound clips or video clips or mod lists or... whatever will get you mixed results. If you ask for opinions, you will get them.

B) If you have an innovative concept, then that's great! If the conversation goes like this, though, you may wish to reconsider:

A: "I'm going to jump on this trampoline, and it will take me to the moon!"
B: "Other people have tried it; it won't work."
A: "But it might work this time!"
B: "It's a mathematical impossibility. It won't work."
A: "Wait... maybe it will work with this other trampoline!"
B: "Look, f=ma, gravity, distance, stuff. There's all the information you need to find out why it won't work."
A: "But I think it will work!"
B: "Save your money."
A: "I just bought another, different trampoline. I'm bolting it together right now."

And third, selective hearing is not good social practice. If you get good feedback in opinions or support on projects, you're hearing what you like - good. If you get criticism in that people don't appreciate your project's aesthetics, that it may actually be illegal, or that it simply will not work, then you have to hear and consider that, as well.

Applauded and criticized? Yes, and fairly and deservedly so. "Whipping boy"? Not so much.

Edit--While looking at these less than successful mods, either functionally or aesthetically--did anyone else notice the related youtube posting??

I thought it was interesting, but wonder if it might have useful applications for some of the motor build experts on here. It would be interesting to find out what other mods were applied on this engine. I realize it is for an offroad vehicle, but some should be onroad applicable.

Just a thought.

I think the main problem here is that people don't give constructive criticism in a more friendly manner. I'm not gonna quote anyone to call them out, but its more

"Looks ugly y u do dat??!?" vs

"It's not my taste, perhaps too dark of a tint"

which would you prefer to hear? ive seen many of the first type of comment on this site but havent called anyone out on it since if they commented like that to begin with I felt that criticisizing them would just lead to them saying "stfu bla bla bla i say what i want" etc etc. It is true that you can say what you want but it doesn't hurt saying it in a more dignified manner, you can still get your point across....

Nice video. It would be interesting to have some sleeves made that where the pistons are slightly smaller than the original specs and see if they hold up better to boost.

[edit] Nevermind, just finished watching the video. 1000hp would be nice indeed!
