Joey Mod? Pssh. Check these out!

Firstly, I am in no way affiliated with the site being posted. Don't think I'm spamming. Just posting something I thought was cool.

I know a bunch of you like the Joey mods and I stumbled across these on a forum I frequent and thought I'd send it your way.
Check out the lights @ www.cincitydesigns.com
The owner of the company is a sponsor @ www.my350z.com so I happened to see some of his work and was pretty impressed.

Granted, the price on this is a bit more than a joey but they're awesome.



Color changing ballasts, LEDs, painted housing, all sorts of cool stuff.

If any of you are interested, let me know and I can try to talk to the guys over there and see if I can get you a better deal since I've been posting with them on the same forum for a while now.



PS: I'm just a lowly MINI salesman posting cool stuff I found for ya'.

Edit: Wasn't sure where to put this. Mods can move accordingly.

This design with the LED's is popular in the High End Audi's. I love the look, but I don't think It would look too good on the Mini. Thanks for posting it though.

Yea, they even refer to it as the Audi mod, or R8 mod.
Tastefully placed LEDs would look good in the MINI housing but the ballasts/paint is what'll really set it off.

Yep the R8 has them and so does the S8? I believe now. Always you maybe right. I hope someone gives it a shot. I'd love to see how they look.

I don't think so. Seams like the majority of the cars he has done are 350Z's. Im sure he could fabercate something for the Mini. Would be a nice upgrade for all the guys with halogens that want the projector style.

Yea, I asked him specifically about MINI's when I saw his work. He said they can do them. I haven't seen the pictures but trust him implicitly. He hooked me up with a fellow vendor for parts on my car so definitely a great guy to work with.

If you are interested in contacting him yourself just tell him 'cereal' referred you. He'll know who you're talking about.
By he, I mean TB. There are co-owners and the other is busy moving TB said. I've only ever talked to him so that's who I'd recommend you speaking to.

An AWESOME place for these I think would be on the little spots that surround the big xenon lens for the 05-06 models... You know what I'm talking about? I'm not usually a guy for visual effects but that would look SICK integrated into the headlight assembly like that!

Yeah, the new coupe (A5?) looks badass with them.

This is more of a show car mod than anything. They'll definitely go best with a somewhat more aggressive body styling of aftermarket kits, lip minimum. It would look silly on a stock car.
