This things gonna light up like a christmas tree when you've finished all those lighting mods!

Word of advice though, lights attract police attention!

Other than that, looks like a nice platform to do some mods to

@SAMO-87 - Thanks, and yes it will light up, and basically all legal as everything is on switches, so while I'm driving if the illegal stuff is off then it's pure legal...

@Joey_19 - Why is it that that's what most people think about neons? I don't have them on there because I see the ugly looking Japanese cars with them I do them because I love lights, favourite time of the year is christmas...Unfortunately ONLY because of the lights...And why do the japs get all the credit, considering the guy who invented the light bulb (or lightbulb, or lamp...for those who read the joke thread on bulbs) was American...

@ucwepn - Thanks

@1991_Vn2nV - Drift filter was only because I didn't wanna fork out more for a better one, and does a hell of a job :D
