Cool Some Cosmetic Modification on My 3IS....

Hello guys, after getting my 3IS, I noticed that the body lines and shapes are so sexy that I just couldn't resist falling in love with it. So I started thinking how to further illustrate the shapes of the car. Last month I randomly saw the movie Tron was on the TV, so I realized that I could do something like that bad *** motorcycle! So I did, I went to the local shop and told them about my idea, and a few weeks later, the project is done!











My 3IS exterior color is silver, so during the day, you can only slightly notice the reflective strips. But at night…. It is just simply amazing!

That's cool, but I'm subscribed to this thread to see how long it takes for you to get pulled over

I contacted my local police department as well as state patrol, the captain of my local police department actually helped me dig all the laws and regulations, and I told him that I did not want to get pulled over if i did this project. So after some dig around, the captain told me that as long as it is not illuminated, then I would be legal. After this project done, I actually brought my car to my city's police department and let them see my project! So the entire town's cops actually knew it and they were absolutely in love with my car!

that has to be the most ridicules thing i have ever seen anyone do to a car.

well to each his own.. if you like being laughed at by ever car you pass or your simply starved for attention i guess your dreams will come true!

when you get to age 35-40 you'll look back and realize how stupid that was.

+1 for Creativity.
-10 for Originality.

Lol. In the world of cars, this type of creativeness is always looked down upon. Especially the whole Transformers thing... goodness. To each their own.

I think the idea of reflective tape around the grille is appealing, but every line on the car? A little over the top.
