dj pyrotechnics is an unknown quantity at this point

just let R3DL1N3 do what he desires with his car guys. He wants it for looks and safety, so let him be. its his choice and his car, not yours. All he wanted was help not criticism I would go with OBX one personally. I dont like apc really (dono about the quality, might fail when you need it!), although that flame one is kinda nice.

Those APC/OBX/whatever fire extinguishers aren't going to do jack in case of a real fire emergency. They're for decoration and looks only. Not only that - they instantly become 10 lb. projectiles at head height in the event of a collision if you mount them on your A-pillar.

THis is for looks right? Because an extinguisher that small wouldnt have a snow ***** chance in hell to put out an actual engine fire. you want at least a 2.5 lb extinguisher. The more the better

I just think its a bit hypocritical of you to ALWAYS rag on people with ALTEZZAs....but you're getting a fire extinguisher...

Anyway, go with the OBX. I wouldnt trust anything made by APC.

I'm gonna go with the anti-projectiles theory here too...

actually i like SOME altezzas, just not the ones i had (APC) on my car. actually i dont really like any on our cars except mabey if someone put the TYC chrome ones on a royal/colbalt blue civic that would look hella sweet.

but after the post about the projectile....thats a good point. probably save my cash for the momo sphere i wanted.
