it was 5 entries.

The blonde chick had a bf who was like 6 ft tall and 250lbs. The guy next to me in that escalade was in his 70's. Not the guy you would expect to have that truck

Should've gotten more pics of blonde chick in white tank.
Nala probably only has additional shots of the old lady next to her that looks like she just farted.

And why didn't you use all your martial arts on him, spit on his ride, and whisk the blonde away to your spooky mountaintop dungeon?

I love the Mazda 6 in any form, even the automatic 4-banger is good fun to thrash. However, I don't understand this logo modification. Is it supposed to be a whale tail?

Congrats on the trophy.

Can someone please explain the concept of tinting your tail lights and headlights please.

All you're doing is reducing light output and visibility. Seems dangerous...

I was talking about that this past weekend. I'm looking to upgrade to LED tails and be more visible. I don't get why you would want the opposite and risk someone running through your trunk cause they didnt notice when you hit your brakes.

ill show you guys my system Saturday. Is there a competition there as well?

Yea, tinted headlights are retarded. The tinted tails at the show were fine. You could still see the housing. Mine were tinted way to dark. Ive seen other tinted tails at night and they light up about the same as normal tail lights. Its just how many coats you have.

Careful. Most "plug and play" LED replacement bulbs really suck.

Most vehicles has a reflector that is designed for the beam pattern of an incandescent filament. LEDs are highly directional.

There are very bright LEDs available, but the problem with them is heat. Anything over a couple watts per emitter will melt the reflector very quickly... :frown:
