    There are a lot of funny remarks on here...but this one had me bust out laughing!

    Wife is laying next to me in bed watching "The Outlander" on Netflix...while my laughs get louder.

    I'll keep quiet because I have a skewp light bar in my Amazon Cart...saved for later.

    one of my favorite current commercials. As soon as I saw this thread, I thought of it and had to share.

    Of course, who am I to talk, I just got a skewper as well

    That's Awesome!

    My wife won't drive my Sport because of the skewp.

    I've gotten comfortable with seeing over it.

    I guess my only real complaint is that it tends to reflect sunlight because of it's multi angles. Other than that, you lose a tiny bit of horizon view when off roading, but not enough to matter. I do like the light idea, and will likely add it if, I don't do a cold air intake.

    I don't have that issue with the sunlight...but my Sport is Midnight Black...but still shiney.

    My off-road tendencies are currently nil...more like beach visits if/when I do get out to Cape Henlopen here in Delaware.

    Define "oversized"...

    But nah, this is on par with raptor lights.

    Lets be honest here: If you already have a 30"+ lightbar, what exactly is this tiny little thing going to do that ditch lights wouldn't have or that the front lightbar wouldn't do either? There is overkill - and we are all guilty of it to some extent, and then there is putting a lightbar in a hood scoop.

    This is some shit I'd expect on the Camry forums... I mean, I honestly don't care cuz it's not my truck, but I do care enough to voice how absurd I think it is. If it was my truck, someone would die for this crime.

    At least with scoop lights you aren't block any air flow ;)

    I reckon there is no such a thing as "useless" That's why you don't leave SHIT for Charlie.

    I've seen skewp envy, but this is the first case I've seen of the lighted skewp envy variant.

    Burst out laughing this morning with coffee & cookies in bed with the wife...thanks!

    Those spikes remind me of when I first logged onto a forum in late 2011...when I bought my first bike...a Y2K GSX-R750!

    Anyway, on the site...members would roast riders who put sharp objects on their bikes. It was definitely frowned upon but still did not stop people from doing it.

    So, seeing those spikes took me all the way back to 2011. That bike is gone and replaced with a vintage bike (in my avatar) that I have to work on to get roadworthy again.

    Thanks for the Lulz!!!

    Ed
