I am looking at some of the after market spoilers, I like the dove tail one more that the low profile RS package one. Anyone had any experience with after market parts like that? I would assume it would not void the warrenty except for the paint where it is mounted.
I have never added anything but a radar detector and GPS to a car in the last 20 years or so. My 68' Camaro that I had in 74' had almost more non-GM parts than GM parts by the time the prior owner and I was finished with it...
Back to the wiring, it would seem odd to put in two different wiring harnesses for such a subtle change, not that I am questioning you in the least, but in my Grand Prix GTP, when I wired in my GPS I noticed under the dash it had all the "ends" on the harness that covered options I did not get, and even in the trunk it had the ends for the CD Changer you could optionally get, which I did not. One-off design generally ends up costing more than in saves, at least in my experience as a non-automotive electronic design engineer.

the lights themselves are in a same sized housing so they would physically swap over no problem, but the wiring issue comes into play where the non-RS cars dont have the light knob to turn on the halos and such and you would have to rig up your own setup. as for getting a dealer to install them, good luck, you are better off swapping your car with an RS or paying out the ass to get a professional looking switch setup for the RS headlights.

you are welcome to an opinion, but to be considered a true post whore, you have to read the original PWA thread completely, this thread completely, the Shunt saga thread, the Kidnapping thread and the Greg Norris threads. lol

No one wants you to leave. This thread has it's place as do the more technical.
My hope is this is a bit of a misunderstanding. I don't think Spike meant anyone in particular when he said Newbs.
So, lets not get upset for nothing. please.

noobs, newbs, nooblets..... I miss RT21.

I didnt mean any disrespect. if its about the serious discussion vs the randomness, I just wanted to bring back some of the other stuff we used to do around here. not trying to say that its anyones fault that we dont have the "tech talks" we used to. we have a lot of members that have left over the last year or two and a lot of new members that have joined our ranks. I have no hard feelings towards anyone. I know I can be brash about things sometimes, but I dont single people out. I treat everyone the same way, noobs, veterans, whores, mods, admin, Shunt, Fbod, everyone.

he posted the youtube video (which I didnt have time to watch last night or this morning) and then posted that he'd wait for my reply. I thought it had something to do with the video.

everything has its place here. I have no problem with the randomness, but I also enjoy discussions about physics, fluid dynamics, 6 cycle engines, black holes, airplanes on treadmills (actually, thats an old one), and just about anything else there is. not knocking the randomness at all. or the quantity of the randomness. thats what this thread and the previous one was made for. its almost like a chatroom if one can keep up to speed with it. I just like to learn about new things and discuss things and pass on what knowledge I have on to others and take what knowledge from them I can so that I may be able to help someone else down the road. I know we debated the quality/quantity issue a while back, I wasnt trying for it to be a competition, just trying to offer another view on it. most topics, I can go either way on and will often pick the less liked side to argue for.
dont leave if you feel im singling you out or criticizing you about something. pm me about it and find out. I honestly had no idea that this was brooding. and as soon as I opened the PW thread to my last post in here last night, I multiquoted these posts and skipped to the last page (sorry everyone else for not reading and replying, but this takes precedence). shoot me a pm or point me to the posts that are in question so we can clear this issue up.
