I put black outs on my Prelude. Now it is probably barely street legal! (@ night)

Dear all:

Today was another beautiful sunny day! I finally got around to
placing the blackouts on my car. Now the car looks so bad @ss!! It
is probably going to be barely street legal now and I will probably
get about ten tickets in the next ten days!

I have three pictures of the barely legal car (esp. for night
driving!) See what ya think: Cheers.

What a gorgeous sunny day to take pictures of a car with
Blackouts!

Personally I think it is incredibly stupid to do anything to a car that
increases it's chances of being in an accident. I'm not sure but I would
say that decreasing headlight output by putting on blackouts is incredibly
stupid.

I'm glad your happy though and I hope other people can see your car when
they make left turns coming at you. And of course I hope that the innocent
pedestrian(s) in the crosswalk is/are able to get out of your way since you
won't be putting out enough light to reflect back to your eyes enabling you
to see them in front of your car.

moron.

Why not pour sand in your car's air intake while you're looking for
things to lower your car's performance? Won't that be cool!

 

I don't get it, looks completely stock to me.





"Life should be like a box of chocolates..... everyone should have their
expiration date stamped on their foreheads."

 

bollocks to that - car looks good man! how is it running btw?

 

hm... i just have one question.
I understand why people would want to put tinted windows - that way its
harder to see inside.
But why would you put tinted glass on your headlights... wont that make it
harder to... see outside

And he's right about the sand in the air filter - that way when you're
driving at night without proper lighting, it'll make it even more exciting
for you to drive that thing, knowing NOT ONLY u can hit a tree at any time,
but the car can die on you too - DAT SHIT IS TIGHT YO

 

It's supposed to "look cool", I guess like driving on your rims,
having your muffler dragging on the ground, having a huge unrepaired dent on
your door or driving with a huge cloud of choking smoke trailing behind.

 

Well, there are blackouts on the car. It makes the car look cool. I
guess it isn't practical for night driving, is what some folks are
saying. They are concerned that the pedestrians won't be seen because
there isn't enough light hitting the pedestrians to illuminate the
image of the people to my eyes.

I have thus far not driven at night. I am not sure how practical it
is to take them off at night and place them back on during the day.
The previous owner only had them in the summer during daylight savings
months. I may end up doing that myself. I am leaning towards
thinking that seeing is more important than look'n coo.

I don't think that the blackouts decrease performance. I don't see
how anyone can say that. The car is as fast as ever. So, where is
the performance decrease? Are you saying that maybe since visibility
is decreased, I won't be able to take advantage of the car's
performance? That would make more sense. Saying that it is like
pouring sand in the engine is a bit off.

BTW, the car runs like a champ. Unbelievable champ.

P.s. I just came back from a trip down to Virginia. He just
purchased a Black Legend GS (230 HP car). It is a hot black car. It
is parked in my carport right now until he can get the paper work
through. Lately, my friends and I have been coming across lots of
cool cars for pretty good prices.

sincerely, Cheers.

 

The bad news - for you - is that it's a well known fact that black cars are
faster. I read somewhere that the paint heats up and so the airflow is
more laminar (i.e. less frictional losses)...

Man: I just read my post script below and it doesn't make any sense.
It was late at night and I had just returned from another car shopping
trip. This time it was down to Richmond Virginia and it was a 250
mile round-trip run.

So, what I was trying to say in the postscript below is that my buddy
Dr. A was looking for a black Legend GS. I was able to locate one in
Richmond. We both went down, and just got back from Richmond. The
long and short of it is that: now there is a shiny Black Legend GS
sitting in my car port. I will try to take some pictures. I will set
it up like I have my Lude and the pics will look damn HOT.

For those of you who know Acuras, the Legend came in three trims: L
and LS and GS. The GS came with a type II engine, giving it 230
horses!. It also comes with heated seats and some factory custom rims
with five spokes (You will be able to see them in the pic that I will
post). This Legend GS we bought has 160,000 miles and has black
leather interior (Black on Black). At 230 horses, it gots a six speed
manual transmission (if you are buying a car of this caliber, you be
robbing yourself of the driving experience if you bought anything
different than a manual stick. I know modern day cars may have a step
tronic or shift tronic, but that is still gays as hell!) This car is
immaculate and is Mint.

Now, to some of you 160,000 miles is high, but actually, if you know
Hondas and Acuras, you know they are good for a long time. My friend,
Dr. A.'s, current Legend has 312,000 miles and still going strong as
ever!

We would expect this new Legend GS to easily also reach the 312,000 or
even 400K mile mark!

Acuras are amazingly built. Too bad that they fudged it up and
replaced the Legend with the personalityless RL's. Shame.

Sincerely. Dr. Moser.

even consider borrowing it for a while.

only knew how good the Legends were, you would not be found dead
driving the drab RL's (RL is one car that could go automatic because
it don't gots no character anyways--relative to the Legend GS!)

Sincerely. Dr. Moser.

 

Well, AMG, here is a pic of the Legend, in case you are interested in
looking at a Smok'n Legend GS!

Here are four pics:

Enjoy. Thanks for teaching me about Black cars. I didn't know that
before ;-). This is why the internet is so cool. There are many
helpful people who are willing to take the time to dispense out mis
Knowledge.

cheers. Dr. Moser.

 

noice.... no, really.... i like it.

 

thx. We like it, too. My wife loves the heated seats and loves being
dropped off at the Base Hospital for work each day.
The car belongs to my best friend. We just got it yesterday.
It is parked in my carport on my Air Force Base until the paperwork is
all worked out.


cheers.

 

Howcome in the pictures of both the Legend and the Prelude, the cars look
like they're about to explode?

 

A. They look like shit.

B. You are a freaking idiot. How old are you, 3?

 

a. you have no aesthetic taste.

b. you probably drive an idiot car that looks like an okay thing but
very boring.

c. why are picking a fight with a three year old? So go home and
think about that. Think about why you have this perverse need to
argue with a three year old. You have some serious psychological
issues and should examine the reasons why you must pick on a three
year old. You are a bad bad man.

d. I am three years old, emotionally. But what is your excuse?

e. As a clever, none-swearing bishop says all the time: go forth and
multiply. . . with yourself! [Translation: go **** yourself.]

cheers. Bang.

The simple truth is that virtually all the automobile industry revolves
around making us feel good. If 'looks' were not of importance, I suppose
all cars would have 60mpg 3 cyl engines and look like Echo's. Before anyone
tells me I'm being simplistic, tell me why for instance, do so many
soccer-mom cars have rear spoilers and faux intake vents? In that regard,
we're ALL 3 year olds.

Now, if anyone wants to discuss the non-sustainable, un-ecological, socially
un-ethical distribution of automobile resources (like I really NEED 3 cars
and 400hp), then by all means speak up. I suppose in the ideal world, we'd
all be just as impressed by the 'hot' engineering which went into our
zero-emissions, minimum life-cycle cost vehicle - and of course, it would do
0-60 in 6 sec or less...

[translation: i suspect a lot of the criticism is a simple case of 'the pot
calling the kettle black']

Hmmmm.... why not put black at the whole headlight? Black it out totaly?

Bye the way... what are you doing on the pics? Digging a hole for the

Coool man...
