nice looking. i feel that a clean neon can be more than just rice. I love the way the look at night and if you like em sweetness.

I would have hid the bulbs but I will see how hard that is when I go to do mine.

Again nice job!!!!!!

Word. I like how the overall setup looks!! I agree with those who said that the neon bulbs should be hidden.... WHen I did mine, I hid all the bulbs so all you see is the blue glow. I have them under the front dash (both sides) and under both front seats (to shine on the floor in the back seat). Im not hating... and I dont think it is rice! You did nice work, and I really like your idea of switch placement. Im doing the EXACT same thing as shonuffgd with the red switches in the CF filled cubby hole... obviously people think alike. I'll post up pics when Im done with my trunk setup, but as of now I have 4 10" neons inside ($10 each at walmart) and a Street Glow GOLD series undercar kit. I really like the looks of it, especailly with all the bulbs hidden. I've got 3 more of my walmart neons for my trunk... I hope to have that project done as soon as my new subs arrive

nice neons man.. its bootiful.. as for buying it in the mail, i tried doing that before and when i took it to get installed, the bulbs were cracked .. but shonuffgd, your switches look hottt.. i like that carbon fiber panel look and those red switches .. by the way, which is the brightest out of all: street glow optx, street glow gold series, street glow blue series, or varad l.e.d's?
we've installed all the brands on our buddy's cars. street glow gold series is the best so far. it comes with water protectors for the wire connections underneath, 1 single thick wire, and very good transformer. optx, and blue series is basically the same thing. we kind of dont like them because it comes with the basic "speaker" wire type, to connect everything. no water protectors for the connections, and the transformer is a pain. each tube has 2 wires, and you have to wire each tube to the transformer for a total of 8 wires all to the engine bay. gold series is much cleaner..... all the tube connect to one another like a "train" and only 2 wires connect to the transformer. as far as the varads go..... i'm not to sure. the only thing is, that a lot of friends have put the single interior leds all over the inside of their cars, and what we've notice is that they burn out sort of fast. i'd be pissed spending all that money on the led underglow kit and noticing 1 or 2 of them burned out after a month. as far as brightness goes, all the basic tubes are the same. though the led kit is brighter. i'll be sticking with the street glow gold series

nice set up, dont like exposed neons on the inside much but it looks clean. I have mine under the front seats like you and under the driver and passenger's feet, all hidden. I also have my switches mounted in the same spot! except I have toggle switches with carbon fiber covers for the Nos.

ya i mean i coulda went and try to hide the lights but i think it is brighter if its exposed. I got two little neons mounted in the back and they are hella bright. The 15 inch i have under the seats are bright but you cant really see it cause the light is hidden.

Now thats tight!!! Did you install them yourself? Was it a lot of work and how much for any extra installation equipment? I have lights on mine but the setup just looks ghetto.

Here is a pic of my Varad L.E.D undercar kit....there were people asking earlier about what kits they thought were the brightest ( Street Glow Gold, Street Glow Blue, Varad L.E.D, etc.) and I just thought I would post a pic to show the brightness of them. And also I have NOT HAD ANY of the lights burn out which I think someone said happens with these L.E.D's. These are hella bright plus they strobe, pulse, chase, fade in and out, go to music, etc. Enjoy..........

front....it is white to keep it legal in NE....don't get hassled *so*much by Po-Po

It's weird what the camera does..why it makes it look orangish underneath...in person it is pure red..I think because it is L.E.Ds and they shoot a direct beam of light at the ground that has something to do with it

I got Red neons from LiteGLo, under the dash, and under the seats so you cant see them if they are not on. Working on getting pics. The blue looks nice though. Ill agree with LooksFast, good job with the switches.
