Dont care about oncoming traffic.
I live in the city and travel only on Highways or one way streets.
Thats their problem fi its blinding them.
As for visibility, I dont care. Their is lights all around me
I actually really wanted the type of lights my mothers 06 BMW M5 has. They are a blue/purple mix, factory. If you flash them on the wall.. In the center they are a white,, then a blue... then a very purple at the top. Really nice and AMAZING visibility.
Anyone know what those are? If I could find those, I'd get them. Otherwise im going to stick with some purple or pink. They look good on a white car. Rice or not, Idc. I will eventually end up putting Neon lights in my wheel wells and underbody aswell. Its my taste...
And not exactly rice. Once I get a new Exedy Twin HD.. Im ordering my Crower S3 Cams, Springs and retainers, arp headstuds and cosmetic gasket, and a ATP GT35R turbo kit, ets 3.5" FMIC + piping.
Looking for 400+ - HP on pump.
Not exactly a ricer

OK Homie you and I went at it in the other thread so I'm leaving you alone on this....just hope you have your flame suit (once EVO purists see your plans for Neon).
You should care about visibility for others....cops can give you a ticket...moreover it makes a case for states to try and ban OEM HID's. I had HID's in my motorcycle and civic so I can't really say much. They wern't retrofits...but I made sure they were aimed down so I didn't blind anyone.
Oh yeah there are MUCH easier ways to get 400HP. You can do it with the stock turbo...but thats for another topic.

Oh yeah I forgot...the reason you're mom's car's HID's look so cool is because of the projector lens....not the bulb. If you truly want that look you will have to retrofit some BMW projetors in your EVO.

Opening headlights, huh?
Well, Ill just get those 6k's for now then..
THEN! Oneday I will get another set of Evo 9 heads, and try it out. I have plenty damaged headlights with lenses from BMW's
As for the flaming with neons, haha, I know. Oh well, its my car, my money, and I do what I want with it.
I'll only do the neons if I do find some chrome type rims. For, they will have a nice effect bouncing off the crhome and caliper and all.
Otherwise, it looks bleh on black wheels, so ill pass.
What color should I powdercoat my Rims?>
They are black. Im thinking blue, orange, or green. Not sure :/

Im a kid
Im still stuck in the Fast and Furious movie scene, ya know.
Oh well
I dont have them on right now Nor will I until i find nice chrome riims ( like HHR's or somehting of the sort), but those are for 3k+ and I am deffinetly not spending over 1 grand on wheels.
Which limits my options to no nice looking non ghetto, but "race" rims..
Poo.
But seriously..
I have a near stock car apart from a full 3" TBE, ETS air Intake, and BOV.
Sitting on Stock enkei's p[owdercoated black..
How could that possible be an example of rice.
No bodykit, no ghetto rims. No louds trunk vibrating sound system, and flashing lights all over the car.
No.

As for powder coating rims......Not a fan of really weird colors, esp with stock wheels. I'd leave them black but I ;like understated in certain cases...completely a preference thing.

I love some of the Evo's I seen on here. WW with wild colors, like bright orange or a bright neon green and so forth.
AND! Blue..
I think i will end up getting them coated a Midnight blue ( dark).
The black is.. ehh..a bit to common now. I actually saw a WW Evo ( 8 or 9?) today with some JDM Tails, a Gialla Front bumper, and JDm rear on the highway a few minutes ago..i95. Wheels were black :P
Looked sharp though. I tried to catch up in my sisters car, but a damn camry got in front of me on the left lane and was going 55mph. Pissed me the hell off... I hate when people do that.
Left lane is for 70-80MPH and up...
I usually honk the **** out of my horn when someone does that to me, and Rev, and flahs my lights, and they get off, but the lady today would not get off, so i ended up getting infront of ehre as soon as a truck passed by and cutting her the hell off, as she did unto me.. and I slowed down to 45 for a few seconds, then took off.
The look on her face was priceless

WW can pull off damn near any color wheel choice but usually the really crazy colors look best on aftermarket wheels....their a little bigger and the wheel design is far departure from the OEM look. Usually different color Volks look sick....I haven;t seen a color on WW I haven't liked.

Yeah, but those volks cost a damn fortune.
I honestly cannot see myself spending more than a grand, even that is too much.
I've been thinking about those XXR rims. They weight about 23lbs though.. :/

I see your point about the wheels costing a lot. I fight with it all the time but my last 3 cars had Volks. I'm buying a set of Rota's anyways but even those aren't cheap after rubber.
I'm keeping it plain with some bronze or gun metal Volks next year.

It is serious, im a jerk off when it comes to driving.
Never cut me off.
Nor go 50 on the left lane..
Speed limit is 60.. Why would you go below it?
I like rice jake
And eh, tires for me aren't a big deal. I dont care for tires that much, just as long as they fit.
Plus, I buy my tires from a guy not to far from our dealership, and they are all used/replaced by warranty tires, from all over the world.
Picked up a set of 24's for an Escalade we had. They had atleast 90% of the tread..
45 bucks each. Im not complaining
Got a full set of Yokohama's for my IX rims, maybe 80% tread or so, for 30 each..Again, not complaining
So blah.
Plus I have stacks of tires at the dad dealership that i can always take when in need.
Soon as I get my wheel setup straightened out and a new clutch, along with some more mods, and I start to auto-x the car, Im going to be getting new tires everyday
