I think the only additions/changes I'll make would be if someone makes a quality afterburner taillight conversion (I like how the Concepts look a little better) and possilby upgrade the fog lights if I don't think they're up to snuff. I, personally, don't like fog lights and just don't help in the fog to me. I've replaced the fog lights on my '95 and '02 with PIAA driving lights and have always had great results. Since I'm planning on the RS package, I'll be looking at some Super Whites to match the HIDs. I just prefer driving lights over the fog lights because of the functionality that I see.

Other than than, no exterior lighting changes are needed for me. It's your car, and you should do what you think will make ya' happy

I never said it was actually floating. Hence the use of " " 's. It was a figurative use, not literal. If you don't like it, fine. I absolutely hate stripes. Unless it's a race car, stripes should never be on a vehicle imo. Others love 'em... I don't talk down about those that like them though.

I'm willing to admit I have no idea what you're even talking about here.

i'm totally adding an LED strobe bar on the roof along with LED underglow all around the bottom, under the dash, inside the trunk, & under the hood. then i'll install at least two sets of driving lights (one set each in the upper & lower grilles) i want a cop spot on each door. i'm still trying to decide whether or not to put four 6" PIAAs on top of the roof bar

Im pretty sure if yo saw this on a car in 88' itd blow your mind...

I cringe when i see a old beat up Caddy with Green tubes hanging out

But if done Correctly then these things look great

Look at the cars from 2 fast 2 furious (I know I know bad example)

But that Silver Skyline with the Blue Stripes and Blue Streetglow was sick

along with the Supra, S2000, and RX-7 tey all looked good


You just dont see to many American made Cars that look fantastic with Underglow

But its gotta look classy.... Dont just go down to Adavanced and Buy what they got...

Go to streetglow.com

they have Good Items

And alot of people here think a ricer is any Japanese car....

But i see Ricers as cars that try too hard

like a Civic that people just slapped together

But alot of cars with Aftermarkert accesories look good

I'm thinking now maybe instead of ordering the Camaro, I should just get that CTS or BMW 3-series. It's gonna be embarrassing seeing all these Camaros on the road with juvenile add-ons. Not very sophisticated (for a car that on paper is very sophisticated).

I was in high school in 1988 and when i first saw it ,i laughed and said "what the hell is that crap" it was retarded then,and it is retarded now.

and for those too young to know .Old english 800 is commonly reffered to as "OE" .its a 40 oz of malt liquor that the ghetto rats like to drink.

No. Even in a twisted ricer's mentality, there's no way anyone thinks neons makes them faster....which would be the most widely accepted definition of "rice".

In the 90's, before Civics were thought of as sports cars by teenagers, I remember finding an outfit in my home county that blew neon signs. We talked to the shop manager and got a group deal for him to make simple tubes that we could run from our cars and trucks.

Tucked away and un-seen. If you can see the tubes you are way wrong. It's not for everyone, but it's not a new thing either...it's been around for a while. Just like anything else it can be done horribly wrong, or tastefully.
