[DogWhistle]

Attended the Mitsubishi Owners Meet in Kissimmee Florida this weekend in beautiful weather. Great turnout. Easily 300+ cars and thousands in attendance. Here are some 2G & 1G pics and one familiar project...

Beautiful! thanks very much for reporting on this event!

Maybe it's because I'm over 40 now but that's not the kind of "MOM" show I was suddenly hoping for..

Men-on-Men? Come on man, this is a family website...

 

[curt-s]

Damnit, I left myself open for that one.. but my wife would probably have burned me just the same.
Let's it in try lowercase: "mom" show.


(Let me know if it still doesn't make sense -- I can try writing it in crayons)


On the actual topic, regarding that blue/purple Eclipse, I love the headlights but not the tails. I still want to transfer my 1G programmable LED tails into 2G housings but have to find some spares first.
Anybody know what's up with those headlights? Are they Acura RLX retrofits?

Happy to see Mitsu's still meeting, warms my heart

Ironically I was in town on the same day. Like 13 minutes from Old Town where it happened. I didn't go, and I don't regret it at all. I'm getting old now to where driving more than like 4-5 hours at a time is murder on my body. Glad it was good though!


But Jesus tap dancing Christ does Orlando traffic SUCK. Never seen so many Texas and Georgia license plates in my life. Lol.


What made traffic worse was it was 1) spring break week for Texas colleges 2) the last weekend of Bike Week 3) Huge farmers convention, so that plus anyone coming down for the M.O.M. all went through the 2 lane Florida Turnpike.

It added FOUR HOURS to the ETA. So what was supposed to be a 6.5 hour drive ended up taking until 9pm.

TL;DR I felt 90 years old due to a little bit of a drive/traffic and skipped the meet, and regret NOTHING.

Jewel retrofit... i "heard" its expensive and a pain in the ass to do... Havent gone too deep into looking into it myself.. just heard someone else mention it in a video a few weeks ago. Looks great tho, Id love to do it

Update:
This guys shop page say they are out of a 2017 Acura ILX. Maybe uses the same as the RLX?

I was wondering if you made it. I definitely understand just wanting to get home after such a long drive though.

The purple Eclipse belongs to Rix Racing. He has a friend who built these taillights and will build more if more people are interested. The multicolor display was just for a show setting. The tails actually went through a ‘light show’ sequence that — as we understand it — is programable. It looked great in person.

We took a movie of the light sequence, but haven’t made the time to do upload the video here yet.

Was staying 45 miles north of Kissimmee. Didn’t hit significant traffic, for which we were thankful.

Yep yep. Had my 3 year old with me too, who was thankfully amazing the whole way. But that was a huge factor too. Lol.

My thoughts exactly! hah

Thanks for posting these photos! — yes my taillights are completely programmable via bluetooth and a cell phone app they have something like 40 or so different show modes and 200 or so different colors
