And if you don't accept it, you are a bitter, narrow-minded fan who can't accept change or be optimistic. This is not an accusation, but to me appears to be the unspoken attitude going on. Yes I have been feeling bitter about the show lately. When the pilot came out I was upset about the mustang an...

The car is what makes the show. If the're's issues with the car, there's issues with the show.

SPM was a gimmick used to get viewers back when the show was starting to whine down. It looked cool back then because of the transformation. The way I see it, the magic/appeal of KITT is that it was a regular cool looking car that did extraordinary stuff. The best part of the original show was the j...

This is the best I could find online.

Kinda small.

:dash: I think the jump inthe episode: A Nice Indecent Little Town had about the best of the series when KITT jumped from an alley clearing the street to land in the alley across the way. Very spectacular. :kittspin: This is the jump I was looking for!!! They use it in the menu of the season 1 dvd....

In which episode?

Check this out.

This is not Val Kilmer's voice. If this is Arnett then maybe Val was a better alternative.

it's not even a good print.

I for one am glad Knight Rider is coming back. Something is better than nothing and hopefully the feature film will go forward also.

So, with all that references, the new attack KITT was just another failed try to make a cool, futuristic but sleek and elegant car by Harold Belker. This guy has no taste, that is my opinion. It's not the Mustang, this could work. But not with all those extra wings and body kit. Tell me about it. T...

I say you should just post it.

Here's my convertible KITT. I'm working on the front bumper.

Here's the trick I used. Get yourself a sound capture program free from the web. Got to NBC's website and play the movie. When the intro comes up record the theme. If there's anyone out there with an electric guitar, please mix in the original theme with the new one. The original theme keeps wanting...

Let me clarify: the designers used a distinct design feature on the top of the Mustang's hood that would be there regardless and turned it into something that is an integral visual cue from the Knight Rider history. I found that innovative in its own way. I think you've made the point that you didn...

I disagree. You may not call it improved, but it certainly is different. And on the contrary, according to Shapeshifter, the designers originally tried to use the original scanner style but were told to come up with something better, which is what we have now. If they simply used the old scanner, y...

No, and I agree the scanner placement did seem kinda lazy to me. I've seen this comment elsewhere on this board and honestly, I can't agree. To me, lazy would have been sticking it in the front grille (roughly analogous to where it was on the 2000) mainly because it would have been just "doing...

If by "Did a scanner exist previously and the new KR producers didn't originate the idea of a scanner" sure. However, if you mean "Sticking the scanner in the hood" is not innovative, I think you need to look up the definition of the word. It had not been done before, so if you ...

Army_F_Body wrote:That hood is what makes the 500KR a 500KR (at least in appearance). KITT 3000 is not the first GT500KR.

So that tells me that the double scanner is not even innovative thinking on the designer's part.

Fraud I tell you. It's fraud. Or maybe I wasn't paying enough attention. either way this KITT is not special in any way!!! Not like the original KITT :kitt: with it's custom bumper. I've learned to like the new car but this is really dissapointing. :( :cry: :? :| I think I made it clear that maybe ...

Garthe Knight your avatar is sick. I was planning on making a hotwheels version just like that!!
Awesome!!!

Attached is a picture I took at the NYC autoshow last year. What heck? The hood is the same as KITT's!!! For some dumb reason I was under the impression that this was a custom hood for Knight Rider. So all they did was paint this mustang black.(well not this one but they copied it). I don't remember...

Awsome work. How did you do the KR hood for the GT500? NICE work! I too am interested in how you did it. If you don't mind sharing your secrets. Simple. I used that putty stuff that is green on the outside and white in the middle. I think I got it at Home Depot, but I know they sell it at auto stor...

That's true.

Lost Knight wrote: So it could have been worse. Much, much worse. Maybe looking at it that way will help?

Maybe a little.

Well, I suppose you can simply not watch the telepic (or possible new series) ever again because of the main character being named Mike. Really good reason if you ask me. :roll: Of all the aspects of the new movie, I can't believe that's what irks some people. Well at least I bought into KITT being...
