As far as installing it, yes the neons come equiped with ac adaptors, but you splice em and run them to the ignition via a switch. By the way, i like the idea of using the TL fog light switch in place of my old school 65 corvair switch. I just might do that

LOL. Yea that was my first thought too.

I really like it.

I would prolly do the indiglo emblem if I got bored.

The neons I would stay away from unless it was a show car... I can just see NY troopers tossin my ass in jail for that shit. lol

No kit, just used my imagination. Emblem cost $30, the streetglow neons cost $40. Miscellaneous parts like longer length wires, T connectors, and switch will set you back like $8. So in reality you could duplicate this for under $80. If their is demand maybe ill post instructions on how to install in the garage forum. Let me know people

No, its an indiglow emblem you should be able to pic up at any auto import racing shop. They have em in blue, red, and white last i checked. If u do just the emblem make sure you cover the black plastic area behind the factory emblem with that chrome masking tape since the factory emblem is larger then the indiglow.

makes it look like there is something evil under the hood. I think 'red' neons would look more evil

Im glad most of you guys gave postive responses to the neon grill. A few of you asked if i can post instructions on how do duplicate it. I'll go ahead and work on posting instructions with pics. Remember, u dont need to have the mesh grill in to install the neons. They mount on the black plastic piece on the inside and are not visible from the outside. As far as the emblem, again they should be widely available at any import racing parts shop.
