you do realize that most people (including cops) will think you have a bulb out why would you want to make people think your car is broken?

It'll wear out your bulbs faster. Try doing a search on google for something called hyper blinker.com or something like that. If you really want it faster then try that company or switch the bulbs to LED bulbs because they run a a slighty powered pattern thus causing them to blink somewhat faster.

Autodynamic.com has them. My turn signals for awhile when I furst got my car would speed up as they were blinking. By the time I turned, they were blinking so fast, and i had no idea why...it was annoying IMO

There are electronic devices that allow you to adjust the speed that your blinkers blink. In Hawaii, you can find them all over the place because these devices are made in Japan. You might want to check Options Auto Salon. I had something called BRAKE IMPULSE and what this did was if you had 4 brake lights, you could have the outside two on and then the inside two on and they would blink like that for what ever duration you wanted and then they would stay on. My friend had one and would keep on getting tickets for it. I guess he just wanted to look "cool"

Search for Turn Signal mod on the 'how to'

Pull out the turn signal and tape over one of the nubs. I realize that if you tape over one, then the bulb will not shine while the lights are on...only when the turn signal is on. Tape over the OTHER nub and the light will flash twice as fast.

Igor, I have set of 7440 AMBER LED's from APC, brand new in the unoened packaging. These go in the turn signals , rear. I also have a set of 7443 RED LED's . These go in the brake lights in the rear . Both are unopened. These will give you the fast blinking you are looking for. I bought them, and when I found out it would make my lights blink faster, I didnt install them... PM me ! I paid 19.00 a set for these . Like I said, they are APC Led's !

He has LED's lighting up his license plate. Right NYC2SD? How is that ricey? Even if it is, hyper blinkers are ten times more ricey.

RICE!!!


Actually they Handa boys have a box they install on their line that can control the speed of the blinker. I cannot recall who makes the box but it is a japanese import Item it even has Japanese writing on the package. The box has a little dial on it that can control the speed of the blinker. Enjoy. DO you need a big wing too?

Sorry, not to bash ya Igor, just gotta give you a little rib action.

...erm

Ricey = mods on a car that don't do anything for the performance/safety of the vehicle.

of course, my crx has those hyper blinkers because i have no front turn signals.

LED license plate = ghetto and ricey and doesn't belong on a maxima

I'm sure you do... since you want a faster blinker too.

and please refrain from grouping all honda owners into some catagory that you somehow think makes up guys who have body kits and stock engines... considering your desire to want a faster blinker after seeing it on honda. Why hate them when you want to emulate them?

The LEDs on the rear plate goes better with the blue on my car than the stock off white/yellowish light, and it goes good with Sterling mist too! Its a nice cosmetic touch (kind of like clear corners).

...just avoid calling people riceboys or a mod "ricey" when you are an advocate of ricer mods.

yep.

aftermarket front bumper serves what purpose?

clear corners serves what purpose?

it's all to LOOK better. not that there's anything wrong with having a ricey car (i, for one, absolutely love Irvine's car... but his Max is considered to be ricey by many).

It goes like this:

if you had a Ferrari, would you add a big spoiler on it or some silly LED license plate frame?

how many RACE cars do you see with these mods? Not drag race cars either, as we know they're an odd bunch, but honest to god road race cars. Every mod on those cars serves a purpose for performance/safety/money making (advertisements).

I disagree on EVERY cosmetic mod being rice. I think ppl are taking it too far. A Civic with altezzas and a park bench on its trunklid is rice...an fbody with ground effects (tasteful) and wheels is not rice. It's about ppl taking it too the extreme or having no taste in what they do to their cars..IMO

I agree. Modding is great. But there is a point you can mod too much. Some of these guys need to learn when to STOP. There is a point where you have gone too far and now your car is ugly.

I saw this sweet Focus the other day. I hate Focus' but this car was nice, well done. keep it simple.
