[QUOTE=firelizard;42654]I like it, I'm a sucker for rhinestones[/QUOTE]

Its Crystal, not rhinestones. lol

Pretty sick. Definitely adds a nice touch to the Q.

i hope you live in an unpopulated quiet city.  because i can only imagine leaving your car for 1 minute unattended in cali.
not bad though.

Pimp!

Tacky...great than I am doing very well, most VIP interiors are very tacky. With lights and pieces of chubaca on the dash..I'll take that as a compliment!

Sorry Brotha but I am comfused, What left side? Both the emblem on the car and the emblem on the steering wheel are centered....

You better get your eyes checked so when you go get your drivers license you can pass.lol

Thanks Mang,
8$ for 100 damn son,,,I paid $150.......na just messen..I got them for $17 locally but it included the waterproof glue and a bag. I thought the same to when I saw how much garson wanted($103) for the exact same crystals.

They look so good to the naked eye its not even funny...TNow I have the glue so the next time I want to do something I just have to buy the crystals.  The only problem is knowing when to stop..

This is a photochop with them  crystals in the little circles in the  steering 
wheel. I likey,,I think it balances it out a little or perhaps makes it more tacky..now when you look at the way it is now, it makes it look naked withoout the rest of the crystals,,either way I think it looks PIMP!..I tell you once you start its hard to stop. Every where you look it yells out crystalize me...

Much thanks to all your input. Good or bad its allways nice to see what you fellas think..

:thumbsup:


My bad i just noticed that the Crystals are on the center line of the grill.
i thought it was like  \___|0___/         0 = crystals. so i thought it was empty on the left side.
but its actually  \____|o|____/

I think thats enough bling on my car now..anymore would be to much and maybe
for some of you it allready is to much...hhaaaaaaaaa

"Sorry officer, i didnt see that car i just crashed into because i was temporarily blinded by the bling in my steering wheel!"

j/k :) looks surprisingly good, although you should have more in the cabin IMO if you want to balance it out... like in the gear shift and/or mirror

Dude..you don't even know how bad I needed a good luagh...Thanks bro..I know it doesn't make sense but thanks. I had a hard day today and reading that just calmed me down..its interesting what luaghing can do..I actually saw a program about orientals luaghing for exercise..thats a whole new topic..

I'll considere adding more or maybe upgrading to the garson or dad shifter if they make one for the Y33..I really was not in the market for one but if I see one I like maybe Perhaps the little chrome bezel on the shifter and chrome bezel to open the cup holder..skys the limit with these babies..like I said its hard to stop but there is a fine line between over doing it and just right..ya dig..

[url]http://www.garson.co.jp/lcc/e_shiftknob.html[/url]

i think its universal

i saw some ay autobacs

Steering wheel looks sweet!

I was looking at my own and thinking about crystals on the drive home tonight thanks to you!

Glad i could help (?!), but thinking more about it, what about opening up the speedo and putting some crystals on the speedo/tacho? I've seen an aftermarket panel sold in jp with crystals in there, just on the 10mph/1000rpm increments... of course by then you would need to go all out, the clock, garson shifter, and sooner or later that scenario i made up might actually come true... Would be a serious amount of bling!

NOICE!  Now only if people can learn to respect other people's property I be all over this mod!

are you guys joking or is this for real ?

I hope those are removable .

[QUOTE=Qproject;42920]are you guys joking or is this for real ?

They can be removed, but I won't remove them, I like them. We all have different  life styles of living and how we grew up. I'm gangsta like that and allways will be. Allthough I don't dress in ben davis,pumas, dickies and flanals anymore I still am who I am..

I think the grille was not a bad idea but on the interior seems a lil feminine to me. Personal opinion.

Definately have not seen it before though.

[QUOTE=Damicci;43127]I think the grille was not a bad idea but on the interior seems a lil feminine to me. Personal opinion.

Femine is SUCH a shady line these days... Just seems over the top to me, not my style.

I only say that b/c normally you see women with rhinestones on everything from Jeans to Cell phones.

Call it what you want.. Thing is,,its just straight Pimp..believe me, if  you saw where I grew up you would not think feminine at all but more like hustler,Pimp Juice, Gangsta. These are all words to describe how us fools down here by the border would call it. It's all about the lifestyles mang. It does not bother me your opinions but just so you know..different lifestyles will attrack different styles of modding. What do you see now on almost every rap star,,a grill in thier mouth..is that feminine? No,,shits baller,,these hip hop artist that arn't about the lifestyle byte thier image from people like me that actually lived the lifestle and put in work. Note grills have been around for much longer than you would think. Bling Bling as well..My days are over now I did my time and I'm out.

 I do see your point though rinestones and what not on chicks clothing but 
1)I'm not wearing it on my clothing and my car is a she, so she deserves to be well taken care of. Her name is Mary Jane " The White Pearl"..gotcha.lol

You say by the border? Where are you located?
If you don't mind me asking.

Pearl 94 Q

My buddy works at Ultra so he told me you came by about the JIC's, I was wondering at first then I put 2 and 2 together.:thumbsup:

Are you the one with the kitted Q with a pretty loud exhaust?

Yeah your buddy seemed pretty cool but I dont think they wanted to do the job. They could not machine the wholes or did not want to and they did not have the tools required to remove the hub or ball joint..I am not sure what you call it, but it was just to much push back. Nothing against them and I can understand the liability that goes with performing that task..no biggie they are  in and working great!

No I just picked up my q.

Yeah they are mainly a minor performance shop. I know some folks who run a almost full blown shop (they have a press and do swaps) that helped me with my coilover install.

I don't want to break any more rules so whenever we meet up i'll give the info.

Oh there is a drift Event Saturday @ SIR. I'll be there.

pm me and will pick up from there Cool.

I think this is a record on this forum........ this many posts in less then a week.

Looks bitchy...  also in the unfortunate event that your airbag deploys, you will probably be the first person with Swarovski Crystal's embedded in their face.  Congrats on that accomplishment...  are you going to Swarovski Crystal your cell phone next? :sad:

Dude..you have to be stupid to think I or someone else would do this type of mod and leave the airbag connected. Thats just foolish..Who cares if it looks bitchy, I respect your opinion you are intitled to it as I am and Yokotas13, but don't  try to come out all hard with curse words or bring to PM. Thier was another person that thought it looked feminine but thats cool cause he used better words to describe what he was trying to say. It's all good though, but if you want to be welcom around on this forum your going to know how to deal with folks better. Food for thought.

They shit looks pimp! Nice personal touch! Don't let the haters get you down, they're only mad cuz now they didn't think of it.

Thanks mang..I dont swet the little things that people say...I do understand that we all have are own styles some unique and some not..I knew when I posted this thread that I would see positive and negative feedback. So far more postive than negative.

here comes the bling train!

somebody put these on the tach and speedo needles

I love it i am about to do the same thing too son!

Nice Oh...blink Blink...

Maybe you were not stupid enough to leave the airbag connected.  But disconnecting a perfectly functioning airbag in order to add some crystals is just as stupid.  Are these crystals magical?  Can they save your life?  Once again, this is just my opinion.  If you are happy with your crystals, that is all that truly matters.  Seriously...

Have you  ever been hit with an airbag,,those things can kill you. I was in a minor fender bender and damn thing deployed and riped my left pinky finger off and shattered my whole left hand and arm....So I say F$%^# Air Bags, I take my chances..Besides all this new shit they sell you to make your car safer is for the birds,,Abs,Airbags, SIde Airbags, Tranction Control etc its all nonsense and just ways to charge the consumer more money..Back in the days there was none of this and life went on and we werent pansies about it..Don't let the goverment  trick you into thinking you NEED to have certain things to be safe. Or buy into it its your choice..I will trade the Bling for now for my sole called safty Thanks for your concern...Slamming my car, stretching tires , crazy camber, Has all ready made my car a little more unsafe and I bet you I could fine a dozen  of people in a heart beat that would say that was unsafe...but I still do it for the style..I am a lok G thats how we roll.

Props for driving 45mph while taking a picture of your steering wheel. Thats gangster!

Have you not noticed the thousands of people with aftermarket steering wheels? It's not exactly a new concept. Airbags aren't really necessary, they're an SRS after all.

Airbags are not necessary, seat belts aren't necessary either, neither is a high mount rear brake light, HID's, ABS, traction control, horn, turn signals...  none of them are necessary...  you are right.  I've already told the guy who installed the crystals that I respect his opinion and his views even though I do not agree with some of them...

I personally just wouldn't sacrifice a working airbag to install some crystals.  That is just me though...

Fair enough. 

Seat belts, horn, turn signals and a high mount brake light actually are required by law if your vehicle was equipped with them from the factory though.

Everytime I see your gauges I have to fight the urge to go and pull mine out and try and do the same!! Damn it looks really good some extra bling would highlight what you already have in there, maybe something subtle like a jet black small crystal with two (one on each side) small merc logos in the clear crystal on the sides? hahahahaha do it do it do it!!!
