a little something new.

I don't really feel like explaining the whole story but to make the long story short, I ended up with 2 neon kits. Let's just say, spur of the moment thing.. Sending the underglow back tomorrow but I decided to keep the engine bay neon kit since it was pretty cheap and didn't feel like wasting more money on shipping. So here are some pics I just took.









Looking forward to all the comments and flames!

Interior accent lighting and led swap coming soon.

he had purchased neons for under his car while stoned, I made fun of him and he wanted to return but apparently, he did not.

I thought it was going to be funny to see, or at least for him to tell everyone. Sue me!

I always thought white lights under the car had some potential.


Gnate.... turn that fucker on with the hood closed so the green looks like it's trying to escape.

Try it =)

Also LED your corners :P

I have some red neons for under the car sitting in the garage for about 6 years now. Some kid owed me $30 and gave me this kit instead. I took it as payment but never could find a buyer, lol.

@Josh: Haha, I did and it looks pretty tight! Especialy how it glows through the eBay grill.

Ordered my LEDs a couple of days ago.

Thanks for the comments guys! Was expecting a flame war and Shadow to post and get the thread locked..

Haha, it does look pretty cool I guess. Nothing I would have on all the time though. Looks pretty green demonish... (that's the only way I could describe it. lol) I'll take pics tonight.

If I was sober and would have thought it through, I would have chosen white aswell.

I know right! I had my flamesuit on and was ready for the flame! Then again, I have been here for well over a year and you guys know that I'm no ricer. Turned out quite nice and clean imo! I hid the wires pretty well. It could come in handy if something happens and I really need to see the engine at night or just bust it out at a meet.

do you guys actually use neons though? or LED bars? i personally think id rather have an LED bar.. one of the issues with building a gold/black car is that gold is not so easy to find.

or i would use something like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/WHITE...lenotsupported

and just run a couple of them under the hood..easier to hide, i have these for my footwell and so does berksallday..

but Fred is right, if you need to work on something in your EB and dont have enough light, then something like this would be perfect! i would only show it off at a meet if my EB is super clean and i've done some mods to it, imo

Tried everything I could but couldn't get the LED bars to work for the life of me... I hope I did something wrong. I'll make a diagram of what I did and maybe even a video and see what you guys come up with.
