hey cayse, i know you locked this last time for flaming, but i'm doing the opposite, i think its cool as hell

thats pretty sweet

im more of a camaro guy myslef but when I see KITT or KARR i just want a firebird so bad so i can do that.

R those the right color pmd seats he used for his krider

Well I wold not do it to mine but I can certainly appreciate the effort and ingenuity that went into it.

Im not trying to be negative, the car does look awsome. But KARR had a silver bottom, and an amber colored bar scanner light.

looks pretty good . I like so see how it would look if it was done another color.

well, KARR didnt have formula wheels either.

so, i dont think its supposed to be an exact replica.

That is true, but for the price of red scanner you could get the amber. With out the amber it looks like KITT. To each his own i guess

Last summer I actually got to meet the guy who owns the car at the Knight Nationals. He was a great guy to talk to and his car looked awesome. There was a two tone KARR there that looked awesome as well. If cardomain is ever up you can see the pics that I took at the Knight Nationals here. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/295097/19

I can understand someone not wanting to do that to their car, but how can you think that it's not cool.

Knight Rider is awesome, and even if ya don't like it, the work and customizations done to many of those cars is just plain awesome.

Never seen a white car with knight rider parts...thats pretty cool...

sorry, but what exactly is kitt and karr and knight rider?

not the biggest fan of that wrap around dash, and wonder what all those lights do. but that nose is bad ***.

yes, i believe those are the correct color seats

here is a site dedicated to knight rider on cardomain. lots of pics and lots of info.
KITT cardomain site

I found these pics of a red KR on the web.

I applaude your work, very nice. One observation is, that dash looks good but the way it's shaped, it would definatly be a ball splitter for your front passenger in a head on collision...

Yes I was a fan of Knight Rider when I was a kid. And yes I admit that KITT began my love with the thirdgen Trans Am. But I have also grown up!

I would never do that in a million years. I think it is simply ugly. Especially to go ahead and do the interior, how can you drive with that wheel?? Anyway, it doesnt float my boat, but if it floats yours...more power to ya!

where you been livng? under a rock?? lol

knight rider was a show in the 80's and the main car (kitt) was a black 3rd gen bird

Yeah really.

KARR was the "evil" car in the show

right??? its been a long time sence I've seen knight rider do they have it on DVD yet

White KITT rocks. ^_^ I've seen pics of that car before. As far as KARR? KARR's scanner was always yellow, however in KARR's first appearance it had a black paint job same as KITT. After KITT knocked KARR off the cliff supposedly the salt water and sand made KARR into the two tone paint job we know now. Stupid reason, but thats official reason given for the KR universe.

I like KARR much more than KITT, something about the Amber scanner.

sorry, wasnt living for half the 80's, and then the other half, well, dont remember much of it.

sounds cool though, a show w/ a pair of third gens, i'll see if i can find some episodes. it was called Knight Rider?

-chillen

not a big fan of it, but props for all the work

don't get me wrong, I grew up watching Knight rider and thought it was cool and all. But when I see my favorite pristine Formula get turned into KITT, I get pretty sick - especially given that I like the nose of the Forumla (both of 'em) better than the KITT nose. To each his own I suppose. My apologies if my first post sounded like a flame, but I just REAALLLLLLY like the formula and since there were not too many of them made, they should be preserved. Base 'birds are likley to not hold their value as much and I would think would be a better value if you are going to do that much external modification.

It's all good

isnt karr black and silver with an amber or yellow scanner . I saw it on knight rider today and it looks cool the black and silver with the nose.

The first episode with car he looked just like kitt, black with the red scanner. The second episode with Karr in it he got his two toned paint job and already had the amber colored scanner.

thanks for the info , i didnt realize it , but on the episode i saw today it said karr was rebuilt , hence the new paint job .

Wouldn't it be cool to actually talk to your car!

....and have it talk back of course.

ummm , no its would say stop beating the crap outta me, but it would probably say thanks for making it look batter than stock .

Sux I had some pics of a nice silver kitt replica and of a blue one. All got lost when my disks caught the click of death! Thanks for the red & white...Now at least I have those again!

I saw the season one set at Wal-mart yesterday...available from Amazon too

Whoa! Never seen another colored kitt before. That white one looks pretty damn good. I wonder what silver would look like...

I like it

Here are a few pics of a silver colored one.





These pics are posted on the Knight Registries web board.

that is the silver car. the owner sent me a compressed file with more pics! Thise are the ones I lost!

wow, i've never seen other color knight cars either. pretty cool but i'm still partial to black. I also grew up watching knight rider and it has influenced me to buy the 82 and convert it myself. yes i have grown up too but i still have many toys. I hate when people bash the knightrider people at least there not ricing out birds.

megaracerx man your car is great!!!

I know that KITT stood for Knight Industries Two Thousand, but what did KARR stand for?

Knight Automated Roving Robot I think

You are correct, sir.

I remember now that the first time KARR was seen he was all black, but i think he still had the yellow bar.

Also wasn't it a two robbers who found KARR, and a voltage surge that lead under the car started KARR?

Yes it was 2 robbers who found KARR but he still had the red scanner.

At least in KARR's second apperance the scanner IS yellow. I can't clearly remember if his scanner was yellow in the first one, but it probably is because his voicebox has been yellow since the get go.

I'm fairly positive that his scanner and voice box were yellow since his introduction in episode 8 or 9.

Gambit69, saw you out driving the other night, your car looks great. love the black zr1's. hadn't seen you car since it had gotten painted.
