Valve Stem Lights

I saw some valve stem lights today that look pretty cool. I think it would compliment the rims well. I know that they are a hot target for theft, but that is a chance you have to take. What do you guys think, would they look good? I need honest opinions, to ricey?

They are very tacky. Ghetto. I saw them in action at night at Hot Import Nights, I was laughing at that car so hard! You need to go really really fast in order to actually make the light have a full rotation. or it'll look choppy

But then again....don't listen to people...buy what you like.

Thanx.

BTW, I noticed you have the Inspire 32V emblem. Did you change your "A" to an "H"? I really want to get the Inspire emblems but I dont think it will look right if I keep the "A" but I dont want Honda emblems.

You can do what you want but I think that it belongs on a civic or tercel rather than a TL. But, it is your car and if you like it, go for it.

Whatever you like, you do, it's your car. But, my opinion is that they are silly, just like those washer nozzle lights.

Not yet. I am planning to replace front grille first. I am thinking about putting either INSPIRE/SABER grille from Japan or MUGEN grille on the front. Then I can switch to H later on. But I think that's little RICE, too. Don't you think??
Because I have all the ACURA emblems inside and have H on outside??

Well the only thing that says ACURA inside is the airbag cover on the steering wheel right? I'm getting INSPIRE door sills too hopefully. Think it would look stupid if I left the "A" and put INSPIRE everywhere?

I am not sure about 1st generaltion TL but mine has Acura Bose System on CD and Acura Navigation System on NAV. I guess you're OK since you replace Headunit.

Yeah, I've seen INSPIRE emblem on 1st gen TL and I thought that looked really nice. Go for it.

My friend got some for free cause he works at a wholesale performance shop and a company sent them to him to try out. Anyways they looked really gay to me I wouldnt drive with those things on for anything.

But hey it's your car do what you want

they're ok looking. the stem is really noticeable when the car is parked. so dont think about keeping them on for too long cuase they'll probably get jacked sooner or later.

If I were you, I would just forget about the steering wheel. Who really cares if you have A on steering wheel and H on outside(or even INSPIRE)? I would just do whatever I think it's good.
