Why?

I like the rims, but the blue is a bit too much.

I agree, that is way too much blue... I would have rather liked to see small things like the ciggy lighter, dash, maybe the grill...

But that is just ridiculous!

Dude, PLEASE tell me that's not Eric's old car (mine now). Please.

EDIT - NM, there's no wing on the car. At least it's straight otherwise, so maybe someone will save it.

It's fine. Anything better than Porsche.. err I mean wide body kits...

I like the new LED undercar kits that change with music. More when they are parked than moving. I would not run the lights while moving. Allergic to getting pulled over.

I've messed with the underbody neon kits that pulse to the music. Their sensors tend to be really sensitive during music and will pick up on anything that produces a beat. I just turned the sound pickup off and had them alternate flashing sequences. Tho, that was a few years ago on an old truck.

But, it does grab people's attention when they're on. Can only image about that 7.

On the controller you can pick patterns also so it really does not need the music input. It's only a matter of time before more things come out like OLED skins for cars. Watch TV on your hood...

Which is why I said I had the lights go into alternate flashing sequences. StreetGlow makes some nice LED products with an easy module. It does get looks when you're pulling out of the McDonald's parking lot, tho.

Perfect for cruising the beach down there in Gulfport, makes you want to jump in there and get down to business.

i had contemplated having a neon in the engine bay when i open the hood on my project car (when i am done with it)... kinda wanted to show off the motor a bit , but now i am thinking i would rather not... that looks hella tacky.

+1 on misguided, too much initial D/F&F and not enough real life experience will do that to a kid.
