Hey i have a black 2.4l and i was thinking about putting some white or blue underglow on my car.do u guys think it is to ricey or nah?

REIGN SS

I personally like it but your going to get a split decision tho... some will some wont, it really comes down to if YOU like it...

if your bone stock im sure some will call it "ricey" but who cares, if you want to do it, do it

white wont look good, and I dont think blue is legal (police color... asking for more bad attention than you will receive on the a regular basis.

neons aren't ricey... just make sure they are all well hidden

It is your car so do what you like.
While they wouldn't be my style, I don't think they are really in the rice category, unless you drive with them on.

REIGN SS

Check with your local law on what is legal... in OH its no visible bulbs & no flashing while moving...

They would hide better if you got springs too, lower to the ground makes them harder to see the bulbs...

I don't think they're ricey at all. It's one of those things that no one has to know about unless you want them to know. They're hidden when off and look sweet when they're on.

Go for it.

I think get the blue. Or the multi-color led's.

Not my bag but whatever suits ya' I'm not sure why people
want their car to look like a carnival ride.

bgbearcatfan

I agree. They are ok, but make it a clean install, because when u can see the neons it looks like crap.

I'm pretty sure that in Ohio (and probably others) you can't have any blue or red light showing when looking at the front of the vehicle, just something to keep in mind.

I don't think they look especially ricey, a few cars do it around here. It's up to you really.

I got this crazy idea to mount hipower LEDs so they light my wheels on the outside face. Triggered by the spokes to flash so when you drive at night it looks like your wheels aren't turning! I think that would definately freak people out and probably cause accidents from people staring at the car!

joeworkstoohard

if they look good, no one will think it's rice. as long as they arn't all hanging so you can see the tubes and s on.

mcoder77

I think it would look fine. Just make sure the bulbs are tucked away like everyone else is saying and it should look good. I'm not a big fan of the white lights but think the blue lights would look good. I used to have blue lights under one of my cars years ago. It will draw more attention though so be carefull.

RedEcotecSS

I have under body LED's on my SS/SC and where the lower grill is, I've got the front LED tube mounted just above that grill, so it looks pretty damn sick. I love mine and so does everyone else. Not ricey at all.

Do what you want it's your car, go with blue, white ones aren't to bright. I was also thinking of going with blue leds. I just haven't had time to get them.

I think underglow downright ruins a vehicle. Its a cheap, pointless, and illegal (where I live) mod that more people will make fun of than praise. Generally, I stray away from any "aftermarket" mod you can get off the shelf at your local Autozone/Pepboys, lol.

Just my two cents, no offense directed at anyone.

Btw man, do you hang out with Pat Youngs (blue Prelude)? My friend said he sees a black 2.4SS rolling around with him sometimes.

SSBOOST

I'm doing it, I'm getting orange to match our orange lights in the front.

SC cobaltss15

nah...

Blood Lucky Picnic

lol there is this guy in my town that has a trailblazer with flashing lights in his front grille and he has underbody lights that cycle through all the colors of the rainbow...he thinks its sweet looking...i think its just gay looking.

cobaltstg2

rice is honda puttin big fart cans on there exhaust and calling it a catback exhaust cause they dont know any better

Samuel Shonce

i love it. it's more of a fun mod just to brighten your car up a bit. i have the 7 color one and i usually use blue and white. i like the white a lot too on my laser blue. its up to you. but i say do it.

dbss88

i wanna get a bright blue for mine... ill prolly get a multi color kit but just use blue.

whats the cheapest decent kit nowadays..?

TVS_SS

go ask this on a differnt forum..

of course the 16 yo's dont think its ricey.. thats why they do it.. and get called 'rice' by the rest of the motoring public.

Honestly, how can underglow neons NOT be ricey??

and let me ask this.. do you ever see underglow neon's on a nice upscale car? or is it always econoboxes like the cobalt, civic, neon, etc..?





And we all know where this is from.. I rest my case..

SS/SCking

Not rice if they have a clean install.....

BlackLS

I think they look pretty hot especially because you will probably one of the very few people in your area with them. As long as yoou do a clean install they would look great. Also I would suggest purple if your car is black and believe me it looks a lot better than you would think. Here is a pic om my red neons and maybe someone can point out something ricey for me cause i don't see anything. [IMG][/IMG]

Neons add to a cars clean look if...

1. you cant see the bulbs
2. there arent 3 different colors of neons (ie. blue neons in the grill, red underglow and yellow interior neons. as an example) If you do neons stick with one color
3. you install them correctly.
4. Get neons that are bright, IMO, dull neons look like crap.

I myself have blue neons on my black balt. Blue underglow, blue neons on the supercharger in the engine bay and blue interior neons.

Here are what mine look like
