Colored anything other than yellow, orange and white...HIDs are a different story, depends on the cop, and is easily fought in court due to the fact that all kinds of cars come with all different shades (examples: IS 300s come with yellow fogs, most new cars come with hyper white, or light blue (6300K-8000K) and some Nissans come with purple-tinted 8000Ks).
You can only have red or orange shades in the rear unless you are in reverse, and in that case it has to be white.
Most cops won't pull you over for green, purple, or pink as long as they don't flash...but some will. IMO, it's rediculous to drive on the road with those color turn signals anyway, as it's asking for unnecessary attention. Save that **** for car shows and meets, where all the 16 year olds with civics have pink tail lights because they bought the wrong bulb for their cheap "Euro" tail-lights.

Forgive the speeding by...I'm usually not in "street ricer" mode, but I had just left five points....and I wanted to hear that BOV and Wastegate, haha.
Beautiful car, BTW. I actually missed buying a '96 Supra by a week. I started looking for a car after my buddy totaled my Evo...and a buddy of mine told me about this green Supra in Savanna. Blown engine, but woulda been a good starter. When I finally settled with the insurance and called the guy, he had sold it a week earlier.
I like Roxy (my RX-8)...but I can't wait to get a engine tunability option to boost her, though...thread here...
Hit me up sometime, bro! I'm moving downtown tomorrow, and I'll be here for a few more years.

Haha sure! I got the dealer to put some new HID's in for me when i had my engine rebuilt since it took 2 weeks longer than they thought. I was going to do the ipod link but the stock radio sucks soo much(especially for how high MSRP was) that im just gonna save the money and put in a double din HU.

I am moving to Charleston in probably just over a month. Is anyone nearby... "active"? By that I mean, Autocross, PDX/HPDE, Time Trial, or just general endless modding?
I will definitely be autocrossing CS and STX as well as driving the various road courses in the region (Chin or NASA). I also will be looking for people interested in getting a team together for the Grassroots challenge (for maybe a 1st gen 7) and various other gasoline fueled projects.
Basically I am 24 with means and motivation but will be soon without any of my current car-friends or contacts, and looking to hit the ground running (or driving).
