Default Please just shoot it now and put it out of its misery

I at one time had a neon kit on my car (granted it wasn't the crossfire), but I thought everyone knew that your not suppose to see the bulbs. It's just tacky.

Neon lights under the car really are kinda cool if you get the ones that are suppose to be there. Those look like the 24 in lights that go inside. They make lights that are 48 in long and longer, that you should use. The only problem I had with them was they broke quite often. If the person who owns that car reads this thread please move the lights so they are underneath the car and not on the side skirts.

IMO, I don't think a crossfire is a good car to have neon lights on...it just doesn't look right, but again, that's just my opinion.

Better yet, remove them altogether. They just don't belong on this car. No offense meant.

I've thought about and I must agree no neons for the crossfire.

Oh and these pictures get worse.



and it doesn't get better when the alcohol wears off and the sun comes out.

With a Taxi sign on the top, it can make some serious money somewhere in the South Pacific.

Or the 2nd! Yeah I just can't think of what reasons cause people to do crap like that. They must win big at car shows or something.

I want to see a tire and lift set like this one on dynamic's crossfire, then next time his 1st gear craps up he can run over the guy!

Juice? You mean Rice?

What he's done doesn't take *****. It takes a couple pay checks from the local fast food joint and a trip to Pep Boys.

Sorry, but it's done nothing but lower the value of the car.

The floor plates are going to cut and fray the carpet. The horrible lights are going to leave holes where they were mounted. Were they wired in correctly or did someone hack a random wire and use butt connectors and black tape?
Wait until that "bra" comes off the front end. The paint will be hammered. Dust and dirt get under those things and they chew the front of the car like sand paper. NEVER put one on a car you like.

I'm not against customizing a vehicle. However, the trash and trinkets sold at Pep Boys are not "custom" parts.

HOLY COW!!! I just noticed the "carbon fiber" stick on crap inside the car. Do you have any idea how hard it's going to be to scrape that crap off without damaging the finish on the stock panels? Chemicals are going to kill the plastic and you sure don't want to pay for another A/C control panel.

This car has zero resale value outside the ricer community and most of those guys won't want it anyway.

Agreed. You don't have to share his taste to admire and support his desire to individualize his car the way he wants to do it. Those differences are what makes the world interesting, after all. If we all want to stay the same and choose to flame those who are trying something else, then we should all keep the cars strictly bone stock.
