ghetto-riggers and pros, we must come together to help me!!!!

Ok, i really hate neons, but i like the idea of undercarriage lights. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to project a word onto the road in front of you??? Like, a spotlight beam maybe(????) WIth a cover on it, with letters cut out. You know how when you were a little kid you made stars by poking holes in paper and putting it over your flashlight. SOrta like that. But i want the words "Firebird" or "Pontiac" to project in front of the car :-) SOunds cool??? or no???? GImme some ideas!!!!
Thanks in advance.

sounds like a good idea. we need someone on here who is real good at math to figure out how big fog lights u would need, how bright, and what angle to put them at to be noticeable and readable that way we dont just drop $$$ on something too small

im with u tho, ill try it

------------------
1992 Firebird automatic, brand new engine/tranny/brakes/tires..paint is getting touched up- Medium blue

Mods that came w/car - New dual exhaust, maybe lowered cause the tailpipes (angled down 1 inch) scrape on driveway and so does front end..the accual fascia gets stuck if u go less than 2 mph! maybe new wires/plugs, and deff. a POSI unless the car came with the 2 wheel tire spin rear

"The 92 firebird..not the first to burn out..OR eat pavement, but does a D@MN good job at it! I got pics to prove it!"

"Never let a girl drive your car, unless ur looking to part it out"

Sounds cool. I think if you could somehow project a big bird logo on the road that would be sweet. Good luck.

Y'know it does sound cool, but in alot of places the cops will burn you for it. I've got some neon lighting in my daily driver. All I did was get a set of neon tubes from Pep Boys. I think Californeon was the name of the company. I put a switch under my dash, although it could be drilled directly into it. I mounted one tube under each seat. It adds a really cool effect that doesn't look *****, but is different and cool in my opinion.

Hey maybe when you figure this out, you can help me figure out how to project an image of my @ss from the rear of the car so when I win my races people can kiss it. Now if I figure out a way to do this, would I be jacked up like a mother?

LMAO @ Brad

I definately like the projection of the bird idea that sounds awesome. If I had a 'bird I would do that! Too bad Chevy never thought up a cool logo for the Camaro.

alright someone had to ask it. What does Jacked up like a mother mean?
