Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

i like it! you should do it!

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

I like it to. I am going for the rally look.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

it would definitely fulfill the role! im surprised by it, its actually a good look!

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Unless you hardcore dirt rally your car, it would be really really lame to put that on.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

If you run Rallycross yes, if not, no.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

do you do autocross?

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

I would like to get in to doing rally.
I plan on doing it next year.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

That light bar is sexy.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

well that answers everyones question...it does look good as long as its being used for rally part of the time...so just get it already!!!

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Someone watched WRC last night on HDTheater :D

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

you don't need it for rallycross... as it is never at night. And do you plan on doing stage rallies? If so, you will need a LOT more than a light bar....

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

It's a ricer mod. It's like putting a parachute on your car because you "think" you'll need it.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

If you're planning to turn it into a full rally car with the gutted interior, the super long travel coilovers, the full cage, and the dirt tires, go ahead it. If it's going to be spending more time on the street than in the dirt, then I'll call you a ricer. haha

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Hell, I'm tempted to delete my fogs...I'll never use those things.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Stop lying to yourself, you know that this:

looks way better than this:

I say do it, because I get to take pics of it!

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

That's a Subaru, they're ugly and need something to distract you from the ugliness. Evos already look good so I don't like those.

I agree it's a ricer/cosmetic mod except for crazy rally cars. But hey, I've done strictly appearance mods before, like smoked corners, tinted tails, projector headlamps, etc., they're all a little ricey. Just depends if you like the way they look in the end.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

personally I think it's a little ricey. I prefer a clean stock look. but in the end it's your car and your opinion is the one that matters so if you like then do it

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

I did a couple appearance mods once: I moved my license plate and painted my grill black.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Didn't know that...

So with that being said, you might as well join the Subaru crowd as most of them are a bunch of wanna-be rally drivers that think they are good drivers, and quite a few of them have these light bars on cars that maybe rally a few times a year but leave them on year round to look cool.

I would say unless you are going to be doing night rallies where they would be functional then hell no.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Rally x is in a feild or dirt lots. Real rally is in the woods,ect where you need the lights at night but for the so called rallying around here

Who says you can't throw on some fogs to clear things up at night? You don't NEED to rally to have fogs. Idk how I feel about the huge light bar, but I understand not wanting to hack up the pretty front bumper to mount some fogs. Maybe look around for a less flashy light bar or make your own.

The "majority" (not everybody) of ppl on this board are more into making crazy power than they are rallying their car. That's why the "majority" (again, not everybody) will tell you they don't like it. I vote, be unique and do what you want :)

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Get them if you are going to use them.

I think they look neat and if I were in the country on roads during the night, I would use them.

I don't know why you would have to be off road to use them or on dirt roads...

Just watch out for deer

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Form > Function

You know as well as I do that rally lights on the front of a street driven car have neither form nor function.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Last I checked it's your car. Not anyone else's here. Do what YOU want to it. Haters will Hate. just tell them to fuck off and grow up.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

If you have some type of use for them go for it. Otherwise they seem a little pointless. If you live in BFE and having a set of kick-ass lights is going to keep you from hitting critters, I'm all for it.

If they are just for looks, I do think it looks cool. Just kinda over the top if they don't serve any use.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

When I move to the mountains I'm buying rally lights. I saw plenty of POS daily driven non-performance street cars in Norway with rally style lights. I think it's a decent idea if you drive hard at night in the mountains. Around here, probably not on the street.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Im going to vote rice on this one. Im not a fan of the looks but your whole car is setup for drag racing, putting on some lights and a bar will look so out of place. I think if your going for ralley your going to need a smaller turbo and much much more. You got a great setup how it is, dont stray from what your car is

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

IDK. If your going to rally it then hell yeah. Otherwise, if you are putting that stuff on there for looks for god's sake at least find a lake (with nobody out there of course) this winter and go out and at least do a little drifting at night so you can say u used them. Set up a little track. Probably the best practice you could get for actually doing rally X. There are a couple guys who set up a little motoX track at Twin Lake in Brooklyn Center. Im sure for a few bucks they would plow a track with some extra turns just for you.

If you never plan on turning them on, then spend the money on something worthwhile.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

I'm with Matt on this one. Don't be ghey.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

not bad. but it should be put in use though. I would love to have those lights for the Galant just for shits and giggles, but we'll see if i want to go rally or not.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

I am going to have to Swifty on this one:biggrin:

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

^^^ Dude you sig hurts my eyes!!! lol

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Haha, truth.

Though I must admit, after driving around in the rain tonight, my headlights don't illuminate a damn thing in the wet. I found myself multiple times crossing lines because I couldn't see them, and it's not like my lights aren't bright, they're more than adequate in the dry.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

But by MN state law dont you have to have all the lights covered by covers, like hella covers. I got a jeep and i know its state law that if i get an upper light bar all my lights have to be covered while on roads, and they actually pull you over, new cars usually not like old broncos with smashed up lights......grrrr

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Correct, big lights like that are for off-road use only which is why they are required to be covered while on the street. Hence why it's a completely useless mod for a street car.

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

I think it looks OK?

Where does the bar attach? I wonder how strong it is. It looks like it would be nice for protecting your FMIC. Even though they don't race hardcore rally up here it doesn't take much to F your car up. I've seen a deep rut on a county dirt road destroy a car or two at moderate speed.


I have been contemplating putting a removable heavyduty push bar on the front of the Galant for Spec Drags :D

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

Last time someone told me that, i put a body kit on my car. Regretted it ever since. Hence why the subsequent cars never touched fiberglass. He was asking for an opinion.
I say dont unless you plan to really use them, otherwise its a waste of money and humiliation (from when people ask what rallys have you driven in).

Re: Was thinking of getting this
 

I personally like the way it looks, Id make it removable though... I would imagine they would be really nice in a heavy snow storm or if you were on the back roads tearing it up..

Also if i remember correctly, There is a rally track in wisconsin somewhere unless they closed it.

Like i was saying if it were removable i think it would be an awesome idea IMO.. Im sure they dont make it like that but you could easily make it. Id make a harness that had a plug, and then i would cut the mounting brackets down and make it so you could just slide the assembly on, Throw some pins in it and plug your harness in.
