He has the money on it. His car alone wont change the scene or amount of respect your cars get. If he likes it this way, he can keep it this way. He spent his hard earned money on the car, he can paint barney on the side of it for all I care.

These are not collectibles, they are not rare. They are low hp, introductory sports cars. They look great and are a ton of fun, but if someone wants to make theirs unique to them, let them.

Do whatever you want op. I don't like it, but I don't think its a sin to do what you are doing either.
He can do what he wants all day, as long as it's not dangerous to himself or others and I'll support it. Read headlights are dangerous.

I see your point but everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE has their threshold where you go from "different" to just plain "dumb". The OP just seems to have crossed most of ours as it would seem.

No hate here, at least I haven't seen anyone "hating" but then again the word "hate" gets thrown around so much these days its lost much of its meaning anyway.

I never use my brights, what danger is it to him to have red brights?

It is illegal primarily because it can mimic the appearance of police or emergency lights. The police will let him know how dangerous they find it to be. I can't even remember the last time I used the brights on any of my vehicles. I would bet that his 2013 vehicle with red on the brights makes more light than the brights on my Classic Mini. The brights on that car are about as bright as my DRL's.

Aw, come on guys, let him play with his car the way he wants to!
I like just driving around in mine, he wants to paint his red one spot at the time, so what?
Peace! :-)

Look on the bright side, real car guys will appreciate clean cars and examples like this will kill their value but increase ours.

If he didn't want peoples opinions then he shouldn't have posted pics of his "mods" on a public forum where people are going to discuss it...

I'm starting to think you are arguing just for the sake (or fun) of it. Otherwise you would not have just made such a ridiculous statement to support your position.
