I know there's a thread on lighting the grill (seemingly more love/hate and controversy than clearing the diffusor for the rear lights!), I'll have to look when I get home and see if it can be done for <$100. Personally, I think it looks pretty slick.

I see "redlightingsvx" as the one thread author, and "letitsnow" as the other.

In addition, threads on the internet are just that - public property on the internet, anyone can view or link to them.

You are both in error.

Cruisen 15 had the idea first, started the thread, and it evolved into a nice idea with links to How-tos. However, as it involves mods, it should always have been in the Mod forum from the beginning.

Zandar copied over the idea to the Mod forum, and let it run. However, he also was in error as there is actually a rule here that threads should not be multiplied, but continued on from before if a previous thread exists.

Which it obviously did.

What we can do here is connect the two threads into one, and delete the original from the Technical forum. I think that's what we should do.

Exclamation Um, okay . . .

Yes, the original thread was cruisen_15's. Check the first post, wherein I intoned, "This was posted under "Technical Q & A," thought it would go better here." Admittedly, I neglected the forum posting rule prohibiting thread repost.

As for the rest, I'm so so so so sorry I didn't source cite for t3h int3rw3bz post. I do surely hope that the copyright franchise board doesn't revoke my posting license, and I vow that all future proceeds from this thread will go straight to cruisen_15 .

Honestly, and all sarcasm aside, I find this forum a great and useful source of information about a car I have come to adore. I haven't come up with a single idea in this thread, and the only reason I posted it was to promote and promulgate cost-effective enhancements for our beautiful rides.

That being said, I suppose I could include a "credits" section in the interest of utter ridiculousness; but then, of course, I would have to include every poster who has had an idea in this thread, everyone who showed them how to do what they can do, the founder for making the site, the original site designers, the web host, the MS font developers, the electric company, the best boy and rigging gaffer, the founders of the Indo-European tongue and all subsequent language contributers leading up to English, and, naturally, Al Gore for giving us the internet.

If a mod wants to change the name on post 1 to cruisen_15, I really couldn't care less. I don't see how I can "steal" any credit in this thread as I admit to simply reposting a post about other people's ideas and then maintaining it.

Dude, um . . . I don't know how to say this without being insulting . . . it's spelled "retarded." Sorry, I can't help but point out blatant irony when it stares me in the face.

Maybe you just meant that you were once very sour, then sweetened, and are now sour again. Okay, /spellingpoliceoff.
