While I appreciate the technology that allows this, sometimes you just got to ask why?

That's kinda cool that they can do that, but I can't see any reason to do that. I wonder if it is actually legal to drive with them on?

I'm fairly certain it's not in Oregon since you can't have your under car lights on while driving.

Now if you can broadcast flames or sparks that would keep other drivers far away from you.

I know in Dallas and Houston a bunch of companies will skin a Scion or Tahoe out with advertising all over it, this just seems like the next eye-catching step.

Pretty sure this would be illegal in states that lighted tire valve caps are illegal.

it is hilarious though, would like to see these out on the road.

Agreed. I'm sure she is a stimulating talker.

I want these on my '8 just so I can have the "reclining naked lady of mudflap" fame on the front and the "Hey Baby, call me: 555-1212" on the back.

I would be surprised what legal arguments would arise to keep these ridiculous ***** on the street. There's money to be made on advertising here, and when there's money to be made in ads, there's legalizing efforts coming.

Wow, all I need is some LED covered rimzzz and I'll be getting the ladies' attention!

I think I'll save a few thousand and just stick a cucumber in my pants to get the same effect.

I knew something like this was going to happen.

And I can see every damn truck in my town owning a set too. All of which would display something utterly retarded and/or lewd.

I'm just waiting for the guy that decides that it's time to put a picture of his pecker on 'em.
