I was definatly gonna get one if i get nitrous. I think they look sick. I saw them along time ago before i had my mustang and fell in love, i think they look sick. How intimidating would a huge green puff be ?? I say go for it.

I think the regular one is OK but I dont like the rapid fire. Now maybe if you could get white lights for it that would make it alot better but I dont know about green, blue, pink, yellow, etc.
I didn't want red or blue because of the fire / police thing. Then I thought about green. Green would also look semi-decent with my green car. Not sure how a white or even purple LED would look. My purge kit isnt rapid fire so that's not a problem.

But there's just something about the whole Neon thing that scares me away, lol. In one sense, I think that it's rice because it's for nothing but show and serves no additional function. Kinda like the neon lights and fartcan exhaust on a Civic. But on the other hand, I'm also backing this "show" with 430 RWHP... so it's not like I'm just adding stickers, lights, etc with no HP.

In the end, I'll probably stay away from it. But I do kinda like how it looks. And I do have one available switch on my nitrous panel, lol.

Than go for it... I think it would look pretty good if you did it in white.

you can always say you installed it so that you can see if it's purging correctly or some made up crap like that

I agree with that. Out of every combo I like the solid purge with white the best. It's the only color that isn't a tacky neon type.

But the day I have to lie about something on my car, is the day I officially become a ricer You know you've hit rock bottom then. next thing you know I'll be talking about my extra HP because of my carbon fiber hood and spoiler.
