Grill Glow Pictures!

Joe you keep mentioning warranty concerns for not doing other mods... Quick question... Did you wire the neons into your stock wiring harness for power?? Or directly to the battery?? Either way if the neons cause a power spike and fry your stock wiring/accessories warranty will not cover it. If the neons cause a excessive drain on the battery its not covered under warranty.So in effect your neon mod can affect your warranty...
If your that concerned about warranty then 0 mods for the warranty period is your best bet...
 
I think its a little easier to rip off some neons and acting like they were never there. then to rip off an exhaust system or tires....cmon now man. lol
 
the only thing you have done to the car is neons which definitely makes it rice. The definition of rice can be taken in many ways.

Rice is basically Form>Function.
Rice is a modified car not tastefully done.

Why do you need a enormous body kit and a huge wing on a civic w/ 90whp??? It only may look aggressive but would sure as hell get pulled on by grandma's Ford Taurus.
You see Supras, 350Z's, Evo's and STI's these days w/ very aggressive aero parts but you know what, Most have make nice power as well.


In your case, neons are strictly for show and your car ain't show quality.

If you had that on at night and people see you, you would be called a ricer. Trust me.

But again, its your car and if you love it, more power to you. Good Luck
 
You have a red Mazda emblem...

Hypocritical?(shrug)


changed it to black.. just updated my avatar with the new look .. definetly looks better in black..although red on black didnt look bad it was kinda rice ish and thats why i changed it.. as far as warrenty goes i dont think theyd void it or even see the neons if there hidden well i have a FMIC and 3 inch turbo back and they didnt void mine last time i was there but every dealership is different.

For one, its not a honda. for two - it doesnt have a fin, for three.....its a mazda, not a ford taurus....
 
and the neons arent for show - it was something i did to pass time, like i said. the only mod i will do to it cosmetic wise.
 
Ha ha, some people really need to lighten up. If you're worried about warranty just find a nice set of rims and finish it off with a set of springs, you shouldn't have any problems with the dealer. :)
 
i do plan on getting rims tires and springs, but im not going to be cheap about it - so im saving up for more then enough to buy what i want...and i also have to talk my girlfriend into letting me get them put on - its her car aswell.... and yeah - people do need to lighten up, its just a little red light....yeash


And by the way - i was thinking about taking the stock rims and just powder coating them....It would give it a more special look - something different. ya know? (i like the mazda emblem on the rims)

hmmm i can swap my turbo-back exhaust back to stock in 20 mins.... no need to talk down on the power modders now....


btw i have an airplane sized wing am i a ricer =P
 
Joe, I always wondered how something like that would look on a Supra (front grille and side brake ducts), and I think it's kind of cool. Would be more oriented to showing the car than for a daily ride, but hey, you could also have some fun making your car "angry" when you have a slowpoke in the passing lane. ;)
 
I actually did use it once in that case lmao - some dude in a crappy old accord had a license plate that read "monster" so i was like.....YA RIGHT! :P
