Default exhaust lights

One of the members of our club bought a '98 and looking at his rear end(the car's) his four tailpipes glowed with a red light. It looked awesome at night and it didn't look rice.Anyone know anything about this light system?It looked like a pipe within a pipe and I probably can't do it with my Borlas. I hope someone out there in corvette land can help me. BTW,just came back from Skyline Drive in Virginia for 3 days with my club and had a blast. 24 cars went down together and met 2 cars down there but it was soooo foggy we couldn't see much plus it rained today. See Ya Doug

Seen these type of exhaust tips on a few compact cars around here. Don't really think I would want it on my Vette, but everyone has different tastes. The tips are sold here at a few of the muffler shops.

first of all, as stated many many times, nothing wrong with driving a car in the rain. wont melt, gets dirty but can be washed. no biggie. its yours, enjoy it how u want. second thing, even though its yours, plz refrain from the ricer LED exhaust tips. unless u want to go full out and put the alteeza lights in it too. perhaps some rubber floor mats and seat covers with a big type R logo on them. oh and dont forget in order for the LED pipes to go with the car correctly , u have to get some mufflers that will tame the V8's sound and make it more farty to match the imports that those tasteless tips were made for. ok, i expressed my opinion, im done. but if u still want them, pep boys etc carries them. look in the SPORT COMPACT CAR SECTION.

I know someone who has an adhesive sticker for sale that fits the fuel door and makes it look like it's stainless steel.

Interested?

I am constantly amazed by what people will put on the outside of their cars that:

a. They can't see themselves

b. Does nothing to enhance the performance

When you put 24 guys and their cars together, what else would they say?

To each his/her own.

I know someone who has an adhesive sticker for sale that fits the fuel door and makes it look like it's stainless steel.
Man! that would have saved me a bundle.
