neons on a 3rd generation?!?!?!?!?!

i was riding down the street in my beautiful white 89' 2.8 when i saw another beautiful white 91'. i was like, WOW, that's nice! but then i looked at the car closer and saw this little purple glow flicker on underneath the car, it pissed me off so freakin' bad. i was like, how can you do that to a 3rd gen?

does anybody else feel the same hatred for the import ideals put on to the 3rd gens or any american car for that matter? i think that it is all a bunch of

Imports were not the first to use underglows. If you don't like them then don't put them on your car. Personally I think some colors look pretty good on some cars. Purple I agree looks ugly that is why I would never put it on my car, but some people will and there is nothing we can do about it. This is a free country they can do what they wish. Posts like this are just going to start arguments and I hope this one gets locked.

Underbody neons look fine on any car if you do it right. What if imports start puting v8's in there cars, we can't have v8's in our cars then?

If you dont like it dont do it... Anything can be taken too far. No car bashing here... If you think something someone has is butt ugly than that is one more car you think your car looks better than.

Dodge Charger not a Challenger. The Superbird was a Roadrunner.
