black housed lights look so good on a black car....thats why I bought them too!

**TJ213** · 08-13-2007, 10:45 PM

If the light output is good I would keep it, personally I usually think those types of lights look a little ricey, but they looks good on black.

**EyesofFreedom** · 08-13-2007, 10:49 PM

Thats why I got the black lights...black grille...black rims...mono rules!

**TJ213** · 08-13-2007, 10:52 PM

ugh, every time I see a nice black car I regret not getting black, then I sit in the car when its 95 degrees out, burning my hand on the shift knob, and wonder how much worse it would be if my car was black.

but still, a perfectly clean black car with tints, etc. just looks so good....

**EyesofFreedom** · 08-13-2007, 10:54 PM

you should try it when its 105 out side with a heat index of 120+!

Oh and a blacked out car with dark tint is sooo sweet! That is my next mod is to tint the windows. Was thinking about trying to get it done tomorrow but idk...gotta look at a house and some land...trying to buy a home for the family!

Do some research on your tint, some are a little more expensive but do a really good job at keeping the heat out.

You may want to take care of the house first though. I've always been suprised at how often car entusiasts put their cars in front of their homes. On ET one guy in LA was renting, with no garage, and had a Lotus, a DD, and his wife's DD too. He was going to buy a Ferarri (the 599), but his wife persueded him to buy a house instead.

I love cars, but getting a Ferarri before a house

, good thing his wife had her priorities straight.

Really...I want this piece of land so bad I can almost taste it! It is in an area that is just starting to develop...across the road is a subdivision with 170-280K homes so I know in a few years I could get a pretty penny for the land. It is a 1.5 acre tract for 29K...5 to 10 years could go for 50K or more!

Land prices down here are just going crazy in the last 10 years! We used to rent a trailer on 4 acres for 350 a month when we first got married and a few years ago the guy sold the land for over 100K! He offered to sell it to me years ago for 25K and damn I should have took it!

Real estate is a little tricky right now, CA and FL prices aren't as strong as they used to be (Florida was really overbuilt), but across the rest of the country prices seem to still be on the rise.

Have you done a lot of independent research? Although land can be a great investment I've also heard the horror stories of people listening to only the salesman and buying land that is worthless. Personally I don't think I could handle putting so much money into one investment. I'm more of a stock market person.

(btw, I own a couple hundred shares of this Japanese car manufacturer, you made of heard of it, its called Honda

)

The only thing is, I see home prices rising like they are now, and I wonder how I'll ever be able to pay off my college bills, car payments, etc. and get a place to live when I graduate.

well we are looking at a land home package and if we dont get the home the land is currently valued at 33K...if I just buy and hold it it will do nothing but go up over time...it is on the landing real close to the river and land prices have more than tripled in the area over the last ten years.

My wifes parents are sitting on 3 acres that they paid 7500 for over 20 years ago and it is now valued at 110K! So if I get it...in five years I may be able to push for 60K...especially if the developer who built the subdivision across the road from it wants more land.
