I'm rocking red tubes underneath the seats, didn't bother with under the dash cause the neon tubes i'm using are concealed under the seats and still light up majority of the foot area, also lights up the back as well. I have white LED's lighting up behind the grille area for ****z and giggles because i bought a pack of 40 LED's for my boat and had a bunch left over. I'll soon be putting more LED's (probably red) in the trunk around the corners of it to add some glow. The only reason i have the lights installed inside the cabin is because our cars don't come with **** vanity lights besides the two up top which are useless for the back seats. So chances are i'll toss some white wired up to a separate switch in the back for the passengers and for myself...

I dont have an RA, but my oz is silver and I have blue neons with blue calipers if it helps. Only difference are the lugs and front lip missing. I'm really happy with the blue because I think everyone goes with red.

lmfao your car is the one i was talking about! haha i saw it while looking through cardomain and i saw it and started to question whether or not the blue or red looks better...cause i also think you can do slightly more with the blue ie blue parking light or headlights where as i dont think you could get away with any red in your headlights.....ill go take some pics real quick...

silver yea i would go wit the blue. Red mite look well but try not to put like stickers that are red on the car n stuff. Painting the calipers red is pretty nice. Inside yea red here and there goes well wit the seats. The neon i would do blue.

yeah, definately just accent, less is more, especially with bright colors like red, blue, yellow, and green. Plus doesnt your stock strut bar come red? speaking of which, whats up with yours? it looks a bit off.

the stock RA strut bar is higher on the right (driverside) than the passenger side. Noticed this when i was cleaning the other day.
