Make your own Tron car?

Came across a story on someone who did this. I'm hoping some of our Fit owners will do this and then post up some pics.

That looks badass, though im not that big a fan of the movie franchise. Plus knowing how stingy auxillary lighting and reflector laws are I'd question their legality in various states. Another problem would be too much attention to have the car vandalized just because it looks better than most junkers on the road.

Check your state and DOT laws. I have a feeling you'll get a ticket for it.

You should be fine as long as you avoid the cop colors of blue and (to a lesser extent) red. Cops are very jealous of "civilians" using these colors.

White striping would look better anyway!

I don't associate this so much with TRON as I do with the cheesy old Automan series. That's how they created the visual effect!



I remember when they had the "digital helicopter" from that series parked at Van Nuys airport. Just flat black paint and reflector tape!

I'm digging this pic and all the Subarus since I used to be diehard Subaru. **Sorry** I especially like the SVX next to the car you are talking about. I miss my SVX.

There is a type of 3m reflective tape that looks transparent during the day but is reflective at night. Motorcyclists often use this tape on their helmets. You could use that and by day no one would see it.
