We decided to put neons on the vert. I know some people dont like em. Anyways here are the pics. Plus I like the way they look at cruise ins. :shrug:

Also please forgive the crappy camera quality.

BTW: anyone ever try to take neon pics? Has to be tha hardest pics I've ever taken, just couldn't get the "glow" just where it shined on the ground.














Whatcha think?

Looks cool, but I'm really not a fan of that hood. Definitely different though.

Anth's Iroc: I used a kit made by Optics.

Brett Gutshall: yeah the hood sucks. The guy who had it before us put those on it. In the spring it's getting a Ram Air I hood.

Yeah, looks like your hood didn't get what it paid for when it had its nose job , the nostrils are upside down! Otherwise, I like your neons, looks good!

Those 'nostrils' look a little like the Lund add-ons you can buy applied to the wrong side of the hood.

Thanks It's a Mopar Max Wedge Scoop and yes it is fully funtional. I got it from Mas Racing but it took alot of work to get it presentable. They are some other companys out there making them and one of them are surely of better quality.

Some better pics

I like neons; they don't look bad on your vert. I would not put them on my car because I don't need another possible electrical problem. Where did you mount them?

Thanks.

I mounted the front one on the bottom of the bumper support, where the cover clips on. The sides are right beside the factory (ASC) subframe conectors, and the rear is next to the rear well between it and the bumper.

The way the street lights are reflecting off the car in the second pic makes it look like you have a knight rider scanner on your car. Now that would rock! ( I mean if KITT looked like that. )
