    What's your most ghetto "mod"??

    i have acura mdx projectors in my car but i bought these h9 bulbs which were supposed to be white but they were coated in blue, so i sanded down the color off of them. hopefully the bulb doesn't burst or anything. also i'm running a 92-95 Civic SRI on my car. it was free just had to cut the pipe to fit.

    I tried to fix the paint on my hood where it was chipped off and now it looks like saquatch took a dump on it :) Thats probably my most ghetto mod. Other then that probably my seat brackets since they are welded out of like 20lb of steel and I didn't prep or grind any of the welds hehe. But I'll fix that later.

    Hooked up a sub and amp in my old car. Had to install a kill switch because the aftermarket deck I was running didn't have a remote wire. The switch was a live wire straight from the battery to the amp and it dangled right by my foot and was more than visible when I opened the car door... infact, that entire car was pretty ghetto...

    Man I miss that car... :OhWell:

    When I had my 1991 Mazda 626, I put house speakers in the trunk that my friend gave to me cuz I couldnt afford subs. I bought some all-weather tweaters i picked up at a flea market and mounted them on the outside and the underside the car, lol.

    Then with my 94 Corolla, I bought the ever so infamous electric supercharger. Me and fastrolla tested it with out rollas both autos, and surprisingly enough, it worked but wasnt worth the money....im sure you all remember that one, lol.

    Wow. I've never seen a person that actually purchased one :) Way to pioneer. But realistically the gains cant be that good since that blower puts an ass kicking on your alternator.

    well i put it on a switch and I dont remember where I tapped into to get power...prolly the cigarette lighter or something. But, like i said, it wasnt worth it. Back when fastrolla still had his car as an auto, we did two runs from a dead stop twice, once with it on and once with it off and you could see me pulling on him but it was like inch by inch over a long distance so nothing considerable. Thats not even to say that there couldve been other factors that couldve resulting in that so like i said, not worth it, lol.
