Underbody Neons!

Just finished installing my underbody neons! Took over 5 hours of installing, but it was well worth it. Big thanks to my friend, Kenny for helping me out.

Night pictures please, those dont do it justice. What brand did you use and how much did it cost? How long are they supposed to last?

I have read many post on opinions on underbody neons. I am know that some ppl will agree that they are RICE. And I respect everyone's opinions, but this is my car and I really like it. The neons have been sitting in my room for the past 4 months and finally this saturday, I just decided to put them on for the hell of it. Some of my friend's TL and prelude has these and they look very cool. And I KNOW these are illegal. But then again so is pretty much everything in my car, from tints, hyperbulbs, blah blah. I will only turn these on for show purposes. So, don't judge me by what I put in my car. Everyone has their own taste and I hope you all will respect that.


FYI: these are neons the LiteGlow Pro series. Got it from ebay for 95 bucks shipped. My car is lowered with comptech springs and the neons doesn't scrape at all.

ODJ Asian Rice: Prices Steady On Slower Demand

MANILA, April 1 (Dow Jones) - Asian physical rice export prices are little
changed Monday as sluggish demand is keeping prices at their current levels.
Bangkok-based traders said they could not significantly lower their
prices, which could perk up the market, due to a government support program
that has kept local prices at high levels.
Traders said prices may come down a little in the coming weeks due to
burgeoning export supply.
However, there will be no significant changes in prices due to slower
demand owing to lower prices in other markets.
One trader said the government price support program has been preventing
exporters from lowering their prices and being more competitive with other
rice exporters like Vietnam and India.
Another trader said trading activity will continue to be slow this week as
the country approaches Thai New Year celebrations from April 13 to 16.
Thai parboiled 100% sortexed was offered Monday at $195-$202 a metric ton,
free on board basis Bangkok. Thai 100% B grade was quoted at $191-$197/ton,
while the 25% broken rice was offered at $175-$177/ton. These prices are
basically unchanged from prices quoted a week ago.

To each his own, but if that's not rice, than I don't know what is.

I personally have nothing against the Neons, I actually think they look pretty cool, but I always thought that the point of installing those was to create a glow under your car. In order to create that glow affect the Neon tubes are supposed to be hidden. I've never seen a car where the Neon tube is plainly visable. It's usually tucked underneath and all you see is the light. Looks wierd when you can see the actual tube.
