Default The ultimate Ricer accessory?

First there was neon windsreen washers,

Then there was neon valve caps and fake glowing brakes,

Now there is neon gearknobs

When will the stupidity end? :

These have been around for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. Had one in my old car, my mate bought one and the lights stopped working so it was all of a sudden "useless" so he gave it to me.

Ahh yes, I remember the spray on mud

As for the glowing brakes. It's a red circle of neon lights that go around the inside of your rim. It looks like your rotor discs are glowing red hot.

I've seen them advertised but for the life of me I can't remember where. I think it might of been in Car Toys in South Australia.

They sit on your calipers from memory and glow onto the rotors. You wire them up to your brake lights.

Or there's the ones that, I'm assuming are battery operated, sit inside your rims.

Straying away from the neons, I was strolling around Big W last weekend for some tyre shine, and on special was 6" exhaust tips, that fit onto a one inch exhaust.

The worst ricer mod in my opinion is the nos seat covers. See them everywhere. I have a set that one of my mates gave to me, and they are on my car..... No nos symbol anymore though....

I personally don't see anything wrong with "Street Glow Racing"



Oh! you mean the neons, my mistake.
