Grille Light Modification.
Hey everybody,
After seeing svxcess's grille light modification at Reading I knew I needed to make my own. I bought a nice grille from a junkyard a couple of months ago and bought a multi colored LED strip off of ebay. I installed it and here is the result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hK-oMD_I30 I have to thank svxcess and ZMan for the partially completed how-to guide which helped me with the modification. I am almost finished with the How-To document so hopefully it will be up here soon. I think this beats the stock 97' Grille. I like the fake light ones better anyways, mod or no mod. Let me know what you think! Last edited by fun173; 08-20-2011 at 12:06 AM. |

Re: Grille Light Modification.
I bet you're loving this!
Just make sure cops don't see it. They'll go all Sarah Palin crazy if they see blue lights on your car.

Re: Grille Light Modification.
I loved that post, I hadn't laughed that hard in a while (Thanks Alan) but it needs some serious updating. There are far more douchier cars on the road now. I mean, can anyone say "Scion"?

You think Scions are douchy? You have got to be kidding me. The only way a Scion could be douchy is if it is 1 of 2200 and BRIGHT Yellow, that would make it douchy. Thanks for the comment SVX1999 |

Re: Grille Light Modification.
I never minded the Lancer's but they are in an entirely different class than the SVX. The SVX stands out more than a Lancer by far because of the unique styling. I'd drive a Lancer if someone gave me one and I'd probably love it... Just not more than my SVX..
Now a 3000GT... That'd be fun.
