I'm going to be the odd one out, but I absolutely love that!
If our FTO was black I would be doing that right now!

KITT forever! :lol:

Ah yes, one of the very very very VERY few lighting/led light mods you can do that actually looks insane and doesnt scream rice at the same time,
shame theyre red though, illegal in Aus - we wouldnt be able to have red, blue or any other dazzling color :cry:

I believe here in NZ, you just aren't allowed red at the front, i'm pretty sure Blue is fine...
but you're not allowed flashing lights or to be able to see the light source of the light

You can have it on the back of the car in red, white on the front and orange on the sides that is it.

No, in NZ you cannot (legally) have any other colour facing forward other than white or yellow FOG lights (not driving lights)

Hmm I've seen a lot of blue driving lights... 8O

All I could find in the LTA was:

(b) is positioned so that the light source is not directly visible
(c) only emits light that is diffuse;
(e) does not emit light that flashes or otherwise varies in intensity or colour;
(h) does not cause confusion as to the orientation of the vehicle.

So I think coloured is fine.... Think...

youve answered your own question...

H... if u have blue lights cops will say you could be mistaken/posing for a police vehicle. my Uncle is a cop in NZ, i know all the target points! ive seen heaps of people with blue lights facing forward too, here in aus as well, doesnt make it legal.

Wait, you want to carbon fibre wrap your bonnet so that you get the fake carbon look and yet you call this ricey and over the top?
:roll:

In other news, I like it for the lols but it is very defect worthy.
