Varad LED suspension lighting

What do you guys think?? Too rice? Its $150 and I think it will look pretty unique at nights. Plus, its not underbody lighting and I dont think anyone has it yet.

Different strokes for different folks. I wouldnt be caught dead with anything like that. Im not really one to modify for the sake of modifying (except my grille... but shes a looker ). Also depends where you live. I like in a very rural area. You better believe I would get the hairiest eye if any of the locals saw my truck with those.

maybe it would be a little cool if it just lit up the inside of the wheels. but even our s2000 doesnt have stuff like that.

I have always thought these were kind of cool, however, I have never been compelled to install them on my rig. I just feel a little to old to have toys like this now.

I just can't decide what to do next to my truck...I cant decide whether or not I want to do fender flares (no one makes mudflaps that fit the bushwacker pocket style flares- I dont want rocks to chip up my paint. It has before becaue I didnt have mud flaps on my other vehicles. Had to get it repainted) or bull bar (I think it might be overkill for my front end. I have a carriage works grill both in my upper and lower bumper, painted eyelids, and a bug shield). All I can think of is to paint the mirrors, handles, the pillar guards, and my tailgate handle....I dont want to start modding the interior until I feel complete on the outside.

is300wrx,

Sharp looking truck. Throw some lights under the truck or in the wheel wells. I bet it will turn some heads as long as you don't over do it.

Be careful...

Too many under-body lights and your truck will look like it belongs in street ricing...er..racing movie...

Why spoil the look of a great truck...

I think its pretty cool looking, but i'm sure the novelty of it would wear of pretty quickly. A nice push bar for the front end with some lights would look nice on that truck.

dont you guys think its kind of an overkill on the front end? I mean I think I have a different taste...this is my first truck ever..I want a sporty look of an off road vehicle, but at the same time, I want it to look like a street truck...A fusion of both would be nice...I been posting non stop about bull bars and fender flares and I just cant seem to click the purchase button on truckaddons.com because of the reasons that I posted above....(fender flares-lose mud flaps. Can cause future paint damage from rocks being kicked up. Bull bar-over kill on the front end)



And also, thanks guys for checking out my gallery. Appreciate all your comments. Criticisms are always welcomed because it can guide me to a good looking truck.

p.s. I would need about $1,000 to get the four Bushwacker pocket style fender flares (painted by truckaddons), and a Westing 3" chrom bull bar with Westin driving lights. If it was cheaper, I wouldnt be going back and forth with this. Sorry guys for all the posts I posted about it. Didnt mean to annoy you guys with repetitive threads and posts about fender flares and bull bars....

This should be about what you like, not everybody else. It's like with Harley's, customize to your taste. That's why there is such a variety of them. I have a Harley, that I've never seen another that looks the same. Nothing wrong with having my F-150 the same way, or you also. Do you like the light's? If so, go for it. Just havin fun....

Flares and Bull bar...

They would look much better than the lighting.

Remember, if you go with the under truck lighting, you MUST have a big sub-woofer and play only rap music.

Just kidding.

It's what ever you like...

Just go for it.
