Neon

[PLAYAR]

lol.....i wish i had whatever they were smoking at the time.

i can understand a defect and fine for a bald tyre. but maybe they can only give a defect and not a fine for other less minor things.

if i ever get a defect for a bov or filter or something like that i will argue it and see what they say....knowing my luck, they'll get pissed off and then find every single little defect on the whole car.

I can tell you that having a Baseball Bat in your car, On it's own is Illegal,,, but having it with a mit and ball is Cool.

You like playing baseball ? :roll:

[REDGTT]

I agree with Paul here(URMINE)

There is nothing wroing with dressing your car up a little to look nice or grab attention and neons do look nice at night and do grab attention. Even from Police. LOL.

Provided you dont make your car looks stupid thats all like dicky.

These days this rice word is been taken too far and it seems like that your not allowed to even body kit your car or make it look better without being accused of being rice just because somebody else has different priorities and preferences to you.

NEONS are tight, I have a hobby of doing custom lighting on vehicles (not just Sky`s) I have a GTS and I have blue unders, strobe under chasis, in front grill, underside spoiler, and leds in back. Looks off the hook, attention...yeah...cops, well only one street beater in Sakai town but I`ve rolled up to cops and next to cops and no prob. Don`t know about the Aussies though

In QLD, if the car has neons and they are turned on (inside or out) it must be on private property and parked for it to be legal. Watching the Saturday night cruises around here, sees both plain uniform/unmarked police car and regular marked police cars doing the rounds both on the streets and in the BWCC (Broadwater car park) defect people with neons even if they are parked. This is because of the car park being a public access.

Ever since movies like The F & the F, every man and his dog is fitting undercar neons to his ride. It looks good on some cars if done properly, but i had to laugh when i saw a Mitsubishi Colt with 2 red undercar neons. They were fitted that low that you could see the fluroescent tubes! Looked like a toaster on wheels!

Interesting read this thread, seems to be thought thatwhen defected only envirtronmental isue carry fines, which i have to ask about!!

i have received 9 defects and 9 fines!! plus the added cost of getting a pink slip to remove the defect from rta records!! each fine was $74 and they included no front number plate, BOV, POD, stacker under seat, too low etc

oh and yes they do check the height of your car! i had the cop bring out a broom like thing that he showed me was 95mm and tried to move it around under my car, hit a couple of time so i got the defect!! Oh and yeah guages were also a defect i got too!

So if what was said earlier was true, then i should have only got fines for BOV and POD nothing else???????? maybe this is just another grey area that is up to cop discretion!!

only one i didn't get a fine for was one sent to me via the EPA to get exhaust noise tested, now this was put through by a cop when he pulled me over, and it checked out ok when i took it in, only by 1 Db though

any comments ?

oh and neons can look good

I have a brand new set of Aerpro Neons here in the box if anyone is interested.

Was going to throw them on my last Skyline but sold the car before i had a chance.

Paid the $250 from Autobarn but will sell cheaper.

[Craved]

colour would be good Rb20

i dont have the cash now but someone might!!

[Mr Rb20]

Very true Craved.

The colour is flouro blue.

Not looking for much, just want them out of the garage before i decide to use them.

[Craved]

actually it's pay day soon, let me know what you want for them!!!

would look pretty good with the new colour scheme

DAMN !!! Nice Car !!!

I'll PM you and we can chat there

I think neon's are just like wings, body kits, wheels, gauges, turbo timers, stereo setups, performance addons.

They are a way of making your car identifiable to your personality, and seperate your car from the crowd.. even if it's a 91 hyundai excel with an oversized wing and chrome hubcaps.

I think guys that drive those cars are great.. the car tells me they are a wanker before i've even met them.

It all comes down to personal preference.. anyone critisising people for rice is just as much the attention craving whore as the riceboys themselves.. If we all drove boring stock shitbox commodores, the world would be a very boring place.

[Craved]

i just want them so i can defected again LOL

[Mr Rb20]

Well, they are waiting for you. I have PM'd you
