Title: Under car neons
Post by: 1WLD BRD on December 08, 2007, 09:21:17 PM
Got them installed tonight, (just finished about an hour ago) and took some shots.....  Only problem is the driverside tube is burnt out, so I have to get another set...

had a blue set traded them for a $400 subwoofer plus i want to get a white leds because thats the color that does not remind me of being ricer and would keep the cops form bothering me i hope.

looks good i hate laws around here so i had to sell the blue kit i had got for $65 brand new.

Are they not a pain in the ass to mount on the sides.
Had such a hard time with the floor going upwards in the rear as well as my ebrake cables but i got them in there.
Looks good ron,you got neon though not led right.
The whole burned out tube thing is why i stuck with the led's.

I dont like that either, so I'm working on solving that by making a sheet metal deflector to go in front of the light and direct the light more at the ground for the next car...

That part  me off, now I gotta wait 2 more weeks for another set to get here.  I really like them though, so they will be comming off and going on my next car.

Yeah, I just mounted them on the rockers as tight to the lip as I could get them, as there was no smooth spots to mount the middle support brackets.  The rear is mounted on the fiberglass bumper support with 40lbs wire ties. (since there was no room to bolt them in there), and the front one is mounted right behind the air deflector for the rad.

Illegal here too but everything cool is illegal.
The cops should spend there time with the real crimes rather than someone putting different colored lights under their car!

Not illigal here in town, or at least that is what one OPP told me.... though lastnight I got some real long stares from a couple of cops I passed at a stoplight..  LOL....  Guess I best put them on a switch with the next install.

As long as you can hide the neon tube on the sides and put it on some kind of toggle swtich that would be nice. Now with the time syou called me a ricer i should give you hell but fix those 2 things and it would not be to bad on the "UFO" car.

um, my car is one color, not many, in what looks to be an unthought out paint scheme.

Pick a base colour and a stripe colour, to accent it, not two contrasting colours.  hell learned that in grade 5 art class.

Now if I had two different colour lights under my car, then yeah, that would be rice...
