Default Glowing cars

Well I probably better get out the flame suit....but what do you guys think about this:










I wouldn't go as heavy as these guys in the video, but i was considering putting a little bit of this stuff on the edges of my wheels. Comments? Discussion?

I don't hate it but I don't love it. Just doesn't fit my personality. It's different that's about all I have to say

they must be throwing a black light on those cars. I think it would look cool if it wasn't overdone. just very minimal striping along fender lines and wheels maybe. I think they are only using reflective striping and it's being set off by the camera light or a black light.

you will likely see light up emblems coming from auto manufacturers in the near future. i see that trend picking up very quickly. http://www.autonews.com/article/2013...#axzz2bJasnnxl

cool link bro. I have actually had this idea for a while now. I think doing a light up pony in the rear emblem would be dope. Especially if the pony only lit up during braking, and it was the last to light up in a sequential brake light-up transition.

If, I ever did it, I saved this image as the design I would like to go with:

see thats what i am wondering. How they are setting off the glow effect. If it does that all the time then cool, but I don't want to waste my money on it, if it will only glow in certain circumstances.

I tried calling em today twice, and they nevar answered. It looks like a small shop.




Does anyone know anything about glowpaint? (I looked into it a little today, but found that the glow doesnt last very long after the lights go out, and the glow effect diminishes rapidly after a year or so of application. The red paint I was looking at, said it only gets about 10 minutes of glow time, after the lights go out, before it will stop glowing)

You must have accidentally logged into the wrong forum. This is a MUSTANG forum. Where do you see "RICE" at the log in screen?

Sorry, just not my cup of tea either.
