Can I offer a suggestion..... If you decide to do it, hide the neon tube so nobody can see it. try to mount it up inside the bumper area and let it glow down. That will also protect it from rocks and stuff. Neon lighting can be a cool effect if done right. Here is a pic from inside my car. Notice, you can't see any bulbs insight...yet the "glow" is there.

Underbody neon is WACKED!

Cabin neon, done right (like LXO's) isn't too bad looking for show...personally, I wouldn't do it...but underbody neon is just...gay.

You need an UNDERCAR neon kit. Not just regular neon bars because they are WATERPROOF and have LEXAN around it to protect it from damage (rocks, etc)

Just wire it up and mount it. Thats it. Not complicated at all.

LXOGOOD: What size neons did you use under the dash? Were they hard to hide under there? Are they too bright at night if you were to drive with them on? I want to do the same thing with my Accord and wanted to go with the 9" pencil StreetGlow light so that they'd be easier to hide but I wasn't sure if they'd be bright enough...

Also, did you mount the other tubes in the rear under the front seat? Did you have any problems with hiding those and what size are they? I'd be worried about someone kicking them by mistake while they were under there...

Sorry for all the questions but your setup is HOT!!! Any other information you can give me like where you got them or install tips would be greatly appreciated!!!

is there a neon on the inside roof of your car too???

i dunno it seems weird... cause it looks like you do cause of the reflection from the center compartment.

if ther eis a light up on the roof.... how did you manage to make it stick up there with out making it look ghetto.... or making holes on the padded roof... i would never do that..... your setup looks nice... but it would take guts... and aotta professional skillz to get it right the first time. ie done neon installs on my friends car... and they were music activated/ with a on/off switch... pretty cool but i dont wanna mess with my car like that..... i dunno just dont want things falling apart later on.


BTW i got the transparent paint and painted my taillights red with the reverse light clear.... looks phat!

FCobra94: The neon sticks are by streetglow. I really can't tell you the size of sticks becuase it was done when my stereo was going in. However, I know the passenger side is larger than the driver side. Also, the pencil stick neons will not produce enough glow for up front. I used those in the doors. Use the large sticks.
They cut the plastic underneath the dash and mounted the neon up in there. You cannot see the neon stick at all. By the way, I drive with all neon on at night all the time. Looks awesome with my screen.

Also, the neon underseats are very stable. They come with 3M tape plus I had the shop "tie rap" the neon to the metal rod under the seat. Don't worry about people kicking the neon.

LexusRules: The neon isn't is bright as what my pic shows. If you look at my stereo sub pics, it's that color blue. A nice deep blue color. My digital camera seems to enhance bright light? All neon is controlled by 3 switches is the ashtray.

CamRen: You have good eyes. Actually, I have a Blue LED Scanner that is attched to the roof (where the 3 buttons) that is wired to a 3 way switch. Another phat mod if you ask me... Take a look at the pic. I can either have the led scanner on all the time,or just when the doors are open, or off. It's a good theft deterant. Nothing on my car is Ghetto. Everything is done with class and installed by a professional.
