Meet (new) DARTH!

[Phil]

It had been rumored that DARTHII might be in the works. So here's the story....

Darth is now named PSYCHO. As in PSYCHOtherapist. My bride ( a LPC family therapist) got her license and we decided to get a 2014 RT and she would take Darth and make it her own. Bobbie (my bride of 28 years) had so much fun at Spyderfest 2014 adding floor boards, windshield, and other farkles, all transforming Darth into PSYCHO. She has idea of a REALLY cool wrap or paint job to make it more her own.

Meantime, what had a working title of DARTHII is now... Darth. It is a clean canvas. Let's see where it leads......

[SpyderAnn01]

Looks good. What color was it to begin with?

[Bob Denman]

Done?!??!!! What's that?

That's an error in one's thought process. :shocked:
It is a phase that all folks new the the farkling process will have to experience, before realizing that there is no way out... :yikes:

[Phil]

Looks good. What color was it to begin with?
Black. There are many places where purposeful original black was left for accent. It works really well.

Sorry- not going to make it this year for various reasons. One of which is that our huge Celebrate Freedom choir event is on the tail end of the owner's event and we have full dress rehearsals during the event. So.....

Don't ya love the trash can?! These are 5000k HIDs and the fog LEDs are the same. They look pretty warm in the photos, but they are more like 5000k to the eye.

Aaaaaaand a little experimenting with lighting the lower Spyderpops KOTT grills...

Thanks to Erick DelToro (bullant12) for helping with the SpyderIchthus, TricLED DRLs and fender run/turn lights!

[Shewhoprays]

looks AWESOME :yes::yes::yes:

[MarkLawson]

Phil, was there a specific reason you chose the LED over HID for your fog lights?

An experiment Mark. I may be unusual, but I've never used the fogs to see better. They seem to best be used to help others to see me, like DRLs. So, I wanted to try them to see just how bright they are. I need to take time to write up the results, but the LED fogs are not that bright, compared to HIDs especially. I may play with some gels to color them since they run so cool..... We'll see.

When I first bought the HID headlights, LED foglight bulbs were included free of charge. I installed them and found they were not effective at all - much less light than the original, but I used them anyway because the color of the original foglights really looked bad compared to the new HID headlights. I eventually bought & installed the HID foglight bulbs and am much happier with them. I find they do give a helpful amount of light coverage to the sides, filling in some areas the headlights miss.
