I was just voicing my .02 into what ioTus said.

 

Rx7carl: I couldn't have said that better myself. I wish this would have been said a long time ago. I hate it when people flame other people on what their car looks like when they don't ask for an opinion. This goes back to the Purple Car. I have seen a few threads where newbies ask what body kit it has. All anyone says is this car is stupid. It looks like a ricer. Who cares. He/she just wants to know what body kit it is. Not to be told it is a rice car.

 

Ok, I guess I can understand why you edited those as you do make some valid points but I still feel that letting people post their opinions on how something looks (especially if it hasn't been done to the car yet and they are thinking about it) leads to some great discussion and could prevent someone from making a costly fashion mistake on there car that they could regret later. Just looking out for the fellow rotor head. I think this is really true to those people new to the rotor game who do not yet realize how different and unique our cars our to the mainstream import scene. As they get to know more about the rotary and rotary culture, they probably will be drawn away from the general honda type atmosphere, but I may be wrong. If you have to edit this one to I apoligize and promise not to respond any further on this thread. I was just surprised to see that my thread had been edited, It was the first time it's happened to me

 

If the person makes a fashion "mistake", then thats their own fault. I say, if the person doesn't ask for an opinion, don't give an opinion.

 

What about "flattening out" the tail lights? You know the way it looks serrated from the sides....does anyone know how or where you could get it changed it so its one flat piece?

 

And did you feel violated?

 

Wankeled, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Do you have any pictures?

I'm also going to be working on anothre type of tail light, which will place 4 round tail lihgts (like from a truck) INSIDE the stock unit, w/ either a silver or black (or carbon fiber) surround. This would give you another style of euro tail lights. I pretty much know how i'm going to do it, but i have yet to actually start experimenting.

I'll let you know what i come up with (IF i decide to tear apart anothe rset of tail lights ;-)

 

Wouldn't the crazy LED replacement bulbs from Manntis do the same thing or have the same effect?

 

Ugh, theres one in every crowd.


I felt it was appropriate to handle it this way.


At least someone is on my side. You get it, thank you.



True, but I wont tolerate attacks, nor hijacking to tell someone that what they like sucks when they didnt ask for opinions. Yes you may be wrong, I may be wrong as well. I just dont wanna see people turned off to this place cause they get picked on. Notice he hasnt been back on this thread, I wonder why?

Exactly. And who are you, or me to decide that its a mistake.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Youd have to make new lenses. I'm thinking of some lexan from Lowes.

I think he means remove the outer lenses and use a flat cover out of clear/smoked plastic, like a late model 300zx. At least thats what I'm thinking of, cept I wanna make the lens one long piece for a cleaner look.

Truck lights are too tall BTDT. Youd have to do some creative surgery to make it fit. I'm gonna stick with a style like what the late FC's have.

Nope, I have them, doesnt give the 4 seperate round light look.

 

Heres that page.

And heres the construction of it.

I hope you come back and read this and stick around.

 

That's exactly what I mean. Especially if it's one long piece like you suggested, that would look pretty sweet.

 

Lowes sells a piece of lexan that might be long enough. Not on my top 10 list right now though.

 

Thanks. I feel the love..

I got a new Avatar just for the occasion.

 

Thanks Carl, I'll definitely be looking into that.

 

wtf?

why are all there edit links?

and btw.. THAT ONE IS SWEET FB

i wonder it will look like on a stock body FB.. with just a front spoiler.. side skirts.. no wide body..

and a roof scoop plus the wing..

i reckon it will look sweet

 

Well Carl (and btw i totally agree w/ what you did), i gave truck lights as an example, i'm not standing right next to my car w/ lights in hand, i just used that as an example for the round-style tail-lights.

 

Good God if that ever happens to another RX-7...

Sorry "RX-7Carl".... but... ugh.. I mean I'm not here to flame the kid, but more like save him the trouble. I almost got the windshield sticker and clear taillights on my Integra when I was younger, but thank GOD I didn't have the money, otherwise I'd have done it... ugh... I think we all do in our younger age if we don't have someone else to show us otherwise... I refer you to the "Should you get a Tattoo?" episode of Red vs. Blue:

 

Honestly, if it had the taillights returned to stock, the car painted white or black (blacked out taillights if white) and the wing removed, i'd be alot more impressed with it. I personally think what he's done is decent aside from those two aspects. Altezzas just don't look like they belong on a sports car, rather sedans.

I think this kid should hear the bad comments we have to say, i used to be just like him until i was woken up by the negative things people had to say about my bad taste. Editing posts to leave the good comments and being rid of the bad certainly isn't the way to do this.

 

So Alex, in your new avatar, which one is you?

 

Well,

Since I am a *****, and "prickly" - I would say I am the Cactus. No idea on who the old man is.

Funny pic though.

 

LOL, I know thats not you. I seen that pic along time ago. Someone at work had found it.

 

And if you got your sticker, and clear taillights, and 10 years later you decide you dont like it anymore, would it be the end of the world? Should I do nothing cause 10 years later I will regret it? I dont see a point here.

 

Ah, now we're getting somewhere. Your offereing up some suggestions. Something positive, while still stating your opinion which is fine. No flamming, no cheap shots. Taste is a matter of opinion. Remember that. Theres no law against bad taste cause no one is in a position to judge what is good and bad taste. Opinions are like ********, everybody's got one, and they all stink. SOmetimes its not just what you say, but HOW you say it.

 

well... i see your point man, and i guess it was alot to do with me because i made the first reply with the"". so, im sorry. i wont flame people as much, but on the flip side of it, some people need to be flamed. heaven forbid this thing shows up every week like the purple car (which i havent seen much of lately), then flaming should happen. but yea, your point is taken in.
