Need opinions on neon color...

aight, for those of you who know that my car was recently wrecked and that i will be getting the cf VIS hood and apex 2 kit, i want to add neons, but i am having trouble deciding between three colors; orange, green, or purple. my car is thunder grey.

p.s. dont post "neons suck" or any of that bs thats a waste of time. if you feel that way, dont vote because i am getting LED neons.

IMO, the best looking neons if I had to pick are white.. No one really uses white but, when they do, it looks sharp and not ricey..

What no blue? I'd have thought you would go with blue to keep up with your color scheme.

Hey Andrew, take some photos of your car when it is dark outside. Don't use a flash, go to some place where there is a nominal amount of ambient light. A street light should work good.

Then use photoshop and place the neon under your car. Test out the differences.

Mine are going to be white, however I think orange would look sweet with your car. the grey with orange makes the neon really stand out.

newbie, read my original post thoroughly...

as for you others, thanx for helping me decide even though i haven't decided yet. the color white has been brought up and im thinking of possibly going with that since i dont see many people with white. i want the most unique color i can find.

I second the vote for blacklight if you could get them. I think that would look really good

neons are possibly one of the cheeziest and ugliest things you could do to a car. But you're from canada and drive a mazda so I guess it's understandable.

1. read his first post again. quit filling his thread with ****.
2. this thread is ALMOST A YEAR OLD. as you can tell, he doesn't even have the damn lancer anymore.
3. News flash. his location says vancouver, WA, which last time i checked, stood for washington, not canada. That would be Vancouver, BC.

Holy Christ. Guess you got too worked up expecting to bash a "ricer" and your brain failed you. Better go jump back on the heel-to-toe express before it leaves. This thread is going into my signature.
