I'll tell you what I think...


Its

^^ I would have to agree. I've never been a fan of neon lights on ground affect or on the purge not just ricey looks tacky. I don't have nitrous but if I did I would try to keep the purge on the down low as much as possible. Just my opinion!
LoL, no way in hell to keep a purge on the down low. It is LOUD! Anyone in the area who knew about cars would immediately know what it is. Not to mention the distinct smell.

Besides, the purge is one thing that's "for show" and would be considered rice, except that it actualyl serves a purpose and does increase performance. It just does it with a little jazz
i got a queston for you samseed, your procharger has an intercooler right? why dont your just move your purge so when it sprays out it sprays on your intercooler and cooling your intercooler a little bit at the same time? just a thought.

anyways.. yeah.. i dont like the colored purges myself unless they are white.. i think a bright white purge of N2O will have a better "oppps.. i reved on the wrong guy" affect on the ricer next to you then a green or purple or yellow or any other color for that matter..... maybe blue... but thats just cause it's a ford... like ford blue.

Dude get the white ones. Screw these haters! I say that **** is straight up intimidating, specially if you spray it in his face at the stop light haha! I say the neon colors are wack though, get the white ones.

No way white could be considered rice, and it sure as hell wouldnt look tacky unless you consider a normal nitrous purge tacky. That white would look tight as hell at night, the purge would be way more intimidating that it is in the day even. If you put a colored one on though, it would detract from the scare factor of the purge, not to mention you car as a whole. Colors=RIIIIIIIIICE. White=BADASS

how about this.. wire the lights up to a couple switches and have different colors. so then you can show off to the ladys wichur puuuurty colors, and then when u pull up to a ricer, still be able to hit the purge with now lights, or just a white one or something.

I have a chemical innercooler... in other words, water / methanol injection. So that wouldn't quite work. Plus don't forget.. I am after that "reved on the wrong guy" thing too, lol. Sometimes the best race is the psychological one

I do like the idea of the white purge though.

Yeah... I think I like the white idea. Plain, yet to the point and effective.
