Wow looks great! That muffler looks pretty good. What brand of paint are you using?

lol RICE:D :rolleyes:
ok well i am not really interested in the lights and etc but i noticed your exhausts looks good!
can you post some pics of the exhaust and also can you tell us what its made of?
btw great job,it's not my style with the light in exhaust but sure why not:p

heres a good idea, even though i think your a stupid ricer... conect it to the front set on the light kit... then when you go forward it will dim the tail lights and blaze the exhaust... making it look like it lights up... and you can ditch the elec tape... f'ing ricer!

i used this piece to a broken pen i found. It would way too hard to explain what the pen looked like and stuff... just a piece of an old pen...that goes for everyone wondering what it is made out of... thats the best explanation I can give.....

I will snap a few more pics soon, but my cam is chargin rite now!

alright... i accept your opinion. But first..... let me tell you and all these other people here looking at this: IMO, the exhaust looks way too big, and the lite up exhaust it gay too.... truthfully, I wanted a smaller exhaust(to the point where i had a smaller one) until I remembered I had an LED and 3V around so I hooked it up but the LED was too large for the exhaust hole. so I took another piece off the pen I was using and it fit perfectly.. I really don't like the whole LED-in-exhaust thing, but I figured I'd be the first to do it anyway!


and that seems like a good idea, but i prolly won't keep the exhaust or the lite on very much longer.... i dunno


oh yeah, and I'll just ignore that "ricer" comment...

thanks... like i said, too large though IMO..


the paint is actually a color change paint, the same paint seen on my bit char-g....chould be floatin around here somewhere.... check the rx7 gallery, i think it's there.... but the brand of paint is Dupli-Color, it's called Mirage.....

nice pipe midget man, i got a question im just some stupid kid in tha south but whats a ricer ??????:confused: :confused:

midget_man1387 12-29-2003 02:52 PM

thanks civic... hrmm... a ricer... i dunno really how to define a ricer, but.... I'd say, a person who has or enjoys japanese cars and big fat exhaust pipes that are like 4 inches wide... hrmm, i dunno, it's kinda hard to explain. somebody else wanna expound upon my explanation?

looks pimpin midget man, i plan on doing the same, i just bought 2 red LEDs rated at 3000CDM and two blue LEDs rated at 2700CDM, what ill do is splice the front lights and add the red LEDs to it, so when your xmod is standing still thw exhaust will light up, and when you move it gets brighter, i also realized that placing a tissue around the LED gives it a realistic look, o yea and ill splice in the blue LEDs with the rear light and have them as fog lights
