Ah gotcha! Well get yourself a better camera so they show up better! I've never seen 12,000k bulbs in a non-projector housing.

We see them all the time here, only they're limited to Scions. Those guys never get anything below 10K.

^yes because they are :rice:

vipstar 02-02-2010 11:23 AM

everyone in my town has jumped on the hid bandwagon and they all want "blue lights" so to stand out i put 6000k on my suburban and the 12000k on my acura. and no this is not a joke but i am seriously thinking of running the pink lights when i get my Lexus. i just think that shit will look fly and especially when the window rolls down and u see my supa dupa fly gurl. oh yeah.

Go90go 02-02-2010 12:58 PM

Pink is already played out here. Besides, pink is what normal HIDs look like when they're about to die, haha! Would it be your girl driving or you?

~Cheers~

Probably 95% of the time - me!
But no one has pink here so y not. I'm all about standing out in a crowd. So being a guy driving a black car with pink HL doesn't bother me. If the Lexus was blue then I'd go with 8's if it's burgandy or silver I'ma go 6's. It all depends on da color of da ride. I'm prob gonna shoot for an all black or all white. After working on this Acura I'm thru with doing a full color changing paint job on a car. It wasn't hard just time consuming.

ok ok. i finally got my new iPhone so i took pix last night of my ride, so you can see my headlights and see that the glare is nothing like the other cheap-o cell made it look.

and no i didn't paint my hood blue and black. remember how i was going to have it airbrushed, well long story short...the guy took too long and i went to get the hood. I have to remove the tape he laid down and wet sand what he did get sprayed.

^ Faggot.

Anyhow, iPhone cams suck in most situations, unfortunately. tmnhs81 tried a bunch of times to get the shots of his car right but just couldn't do it. You should definitely invest in a good camera. Even some older point and shoots in the 4-5MP range are really good, even better than the current 10-12MP models, especially in low-light.

The only airbrushing I'd do would be something like this:

I know that selling that Ed Hardy stuff is your business, but the people I've seen around here that rock that stuff have been rather... disgusting. Overweight 50-year-olds shouldn't be dressed exactly the same as their 30-something year old daughters, Ed Hardy from head to toe...:ugh:

Not really feeling most of the mods on the car BUT I love the tail lights. How did you do that?

BTW, I didn't mean you, but the bot whose post was deleted, haha.

Anyhow, I think 5000 years of civilization trumps gaudy skulls and roses. People tend to agree:


Disgusting Thing I Have Eaten Drinken #31 - Ed Hardy Premium Beer

I just read this very well thought out defense of Ed Hardy—the tattoo flash art inspired brand for bros that offends the sensibilities of the more forward thinking set thanks in no small part to de facto poster boy and ex-reality show fame junkie Jon “sans Kate minus 8” Gosselin—while nursing a hangover brought on in part by, you guessed it, Ed Hardy.

The couture equivalent of a Thomas Kinkade painting.

Granted, you sell what people want, because that's how you profit. I still offer that stuff, but in my area, not too many people are going for it. It's there if they want it, though.

Colt did that, too, IIRC. He taped over the lense area and painted the trim in between matte black.

i took mine to the guy that was gonna tint my windows with ceramic tint. i told him i didn't want them to dark and he applied some type of film over them, don't quote me as saying he put automotive window tint on them bc i honestly don't know if that is what he used. i do know it has some film over it tho.

well this is a pic of my ride after being in storage for over a year. i just gave her a quick wash and she was on her way to get a new distributor, ignition control module, rotor button, dist cap, plugs, and wires installed. I left her bc I had a business trip in Atlanta. I just hope she is perfect by the time I get back. I miss driving her.

These are the new shoes. I have to admit I love them way more than the previous wheels. I miss sitting pretty. I had the stocks on my car for way too long.

http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r...2/IMAG0062.jpg
I'd like to get her low enough to just show the rim and then add the Vip lip kit. After that I'll prob drive her for a lil bit longer, she has 93,000k miles now so i'll prob sell her before I hit 100k. I want to buy me a Porsche.

Here is one of the last videos I took of my car. I realize my ride isn't everyones cup of tea but its what I chose to do with it. I had sold the car then ended up buying it back bc the kid couldn't keep up with his payments and I bought it back from the loan company. But I'll prob sell it bc I want to try and get me a LS400, SC400, or a Q45.

No way! Stick with your first gen. Much better looking than some Lex-lax or a Infinitlydumb. You see those cars every day. Our first gens are unique and sexy. :thumbsup:
