where did the whistler mod get its name? i just ordered black housings and smoked corners on egay. i'll post pics soon enough. the only reason i didnt get halos was i was trying to keep the flow of the lines on the hood. if they made them like the bmw with the halos aroung the headlights i would do them.

go for it. I think they look great...but not with all colors. But on your car i think they'll look great. It's not rice unless you have a stock V6 automatic with flashy rims, ridiculous paint and then toss on those halos...otherwise they look nice.

I think the halo lights are cool as hell, personally. Dunno about that hood, though. It seems like it's saying "I wish I had a WS6 but instead I have this Camaro".

I wouldn't run the Halos. I much prefer the black ones.

What'd you decide to do?

I've been thinking about starting a thread just for people to say what they really think about my car, it's bad enough people are hijacking other threads to do it. In any case, you're a tool. Apparently having a cowl/scoop hood, ducktail spoiler, stripe paint job, and customized interior is rice. Idiots these days, need to learn respect.

I dont agree in using the word "rice" as a derogitory term .I mean when I think of rice I think of a civic "a nice one ".when i call a car a burner I mean no offence by it but then again Im not calling a camaro or a Trans am rice,if its a lame car to me Ill just call it lame.I dont think its cool to call some sorry *** car rice cause it like say that imports are gay and suck and thats bogus for someone to be a carguy but only like 1 type of car,I mean I love imports when done right,just not a fan of the sound .but n-e-ways go for it I think they look good .just accent them right.

i won't consider ground fx's (stock or otherwise) rice until i hear the owner talk about all the extra downforce it adds, and how it helps him accelerate faster. just my .02

as for the head lights, i like em, go for it, if you haven't already.
