hahaha, because they are being "original" by copying other peoples ideas. This is why I no longer will talk about my plans ~ because everyone and their momma will then copy me. Sure copying is the greatest form of flattry ~ or something like that? But I dont want to be named for creating a new type of "rice" cause everyone copies my ideas :)

copycats = :flipa:

Modding your car to be ORIGINAL, yet you COPY other peoples ideas... hmmm... lets think about that one :devil:

Yeah, I understand the original thing, even though it's not that original. But why the hell do you want to blind the shit out of people behind you? That's going to cause mad accidents the way some have been talking about what they want to do with it. That's just fuggin stupid if you ask me. Hey, let's do something that might kill people. Not cool.

ps.. I aint gounna be driving around flashing people, its just for show, thats all, if you really think about it strobes are dangereos to, but if used in a right way, there alright. see what im trying to get at?

But where does the line between rice and nice lie? Being "original" can be a good or bad thing ... www.riceboypage.com has "original" looking cars but that kind of original is just too much? ... When did performance or appearance profit from having a hidden high intensity light to blind drivers?? :confused:

What is the purpose of having a High intensity light in the back of your car ne way? I could see use to it if you were backing up and couldnt see, but why the hell else would u put a light back there. Thats just gonna fuc with peoples vision proboly blind them, and worst of all they wont even get a glimps of your hot ride. Not to mention how illegal that would be. Put them under your car that would look hot.

hey g2002 if you didnt get my point the first time ill state it again, everything thing can be used in a two fold way, for good and bad, i want to use it for good at car shows, ive never seen it done in real person, so thats why.

What the fuck are you talking about??? :finger:

I agree with Kicker... why would you want a bright ass light on the back of your car... so people will rear end you?

:coolguy:... NOT! :bandit:

i swear to god you guys are a bunch of idiots dont you know how to read...i want to do this mod so i can use it at car shows, so that my civic will stand out.

Really guys, if you want i can hook you up with hooked on phonix if youd like!!!

Yes we know how to read, but helping you out without messing with you for a little bit is no fun. I know exactly how to do that, my cousin owns an auto body shop and I've seen him do this before. Oh wait, nevermind. I'm too stupid to know anything like that, I guess I'll just go back to my hooked on phonix. :rolleyes:

if u go to enough car shows u see it-- i've seen it in person 2-3 times-- (as in they hit tha botton & tha lights went on) - & i've also seen them w/ tha car off b4... @ a show in english town...

its pretty phat i was gion to get it... BUt i realized that its not original anymore--.. although not many peeps have in.. I might do a spin off of that HID lite theng-- but not tha flip down plate.. i gotta do it another way..

fucking loser! Grade 12 diploma, eh? Long story short....I'm 17, I graduated a year early. They tested me, realized I was way ahead of everyone in my grade level, and most of the people a grade ahead of me. Thanx for thinkin I'm stupid though, I like to fit in with people like you. :)

Graduated early from some hick school, well thats good for you. Maybe they tested you and realized that they couldnt help a dumbass like your self so they kicked you out.

wtf kinda stuff are you all smoking? thats just lame.. what do you think that will accomplish.. im sure the cops will stop chasing you if you cover your licenceplate and blind them with a bright light. modify your car.. dont create abortions on it. your probally the same people that put fiberglass body kits on and call it kustom... be orignal ...create something worth looking at.. and do it in metal!!!

Okay, seeing as you are new here, and this is your first post here...I'll be nice.

Look at the post and thread dates. You'll noticed the pervious post before yours was made 12/24/2001...ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO!!!! This is a thread that has been DEAD for almost 3 years!!!

Check the thread dates before you post. Try and not post in old thread, and tyr and not bring old threads back from the dead. Bringing up old threads, especialy threads THIS OLD, is generally frowned upon here at AF.

Anyways, wih that said, welcome to AF, and don't bring old threads back from the dead next time!!!

that seems to be the new thing, making your first post on a reaaaaallllyyy old thread, rather then taking any risk, or just lurking until you get the hang of things.
