He says, &#8220;In a way it\u2019s like a custom paint job, people can use it to make something unique or awful. We developed the iGloWiFi controller as a platform for leveraging mobile devices for hardware control.\u00a0 We\u2019ll be releasing an API (Application Programming Interface) soon where you\u2019ll be able to control the lights from a variety of WiFi devices.\u00a0 Lights are just the beginning.\u00a0 With the accelerometer and GPS functionality already in mobile phones and tablets, car owners will be able to configure pre-sets for certain speeds or locations.\u00a0 The possibilities are endless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd as for the Camaro, it was an attempt at a racing stripe which went tragically wrong; it lasted for a week until I could afford more paint. We all make mistakes at 17.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait to see it?<\/p>\n<span class=\"vvqbox vvqyoutube\" style=\"width:575px;height:355px;\"><span id=\"vvq-14418-youtube-1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zSSJddObJ2o\"><img src=\"http:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/zSSJddObJ2o\/0.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube Preview Image\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<p>You may notice the steering wheel is on the right as MEA Mobile is based in New Zealand as well as in New Haven, CT.\u00a0 The control app is currently available for the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android.\u00a0 More information about the product is available at: <a title=\"www.igloledset.com\" href=\"http:\/\/igloledset.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/igloledset.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve said it before LEDs, almost anywhere but in the headlights, taillights or turn signals can turn a great looking car (<a title=\"What Sucked at Sema\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/sucked-at-sema-wrong-sema-2010\/\" target=\"_blank\">Like this Dodge Challenger<\/a>) or a crappy looking car (<a title=\"Awfule displays of LED madness\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/custom-pt-cruisers-dude-really\/\" target=\"_blank\">like these PT Cruisers<\/a>) into overdone, steaming piles.\u00a0 The Challenger was at SEMA, so I could be wrong here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m asking for your opinion on this one.\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Is it cool?\u00a0 Is it cool for a car?
