Underglow

I was wondering what colour, if any, people have for underglow. I personally think blue or purple would be good looking, especially on a black t/a

i'd prefer blue on my TA when it turns black next spring, i think it'll look incredible. but I'm putting on red to match the interior lights and neons, so it doesn't clash.....

...if i had the time to change out ALL the dash lights to blue i'd go blue, so red's next best in my book...

..hope the opinion helps man

I assume you mean Neon UnderCar lighting?.. I have a unique color called Ultra Blue. Closer to the tube the glow is blue but the further you get from the tube the glow goes increasingly more purple. Its almost like a chamelion neon color.

I absolutely love it, especially i seem to be the only one around here with it as a color under my car.

I dont have any good pics though yet as it is hard to get some good ones at night with me not being a photographer.

I am not sure, but can't you get pulled over for driving with those on? OR are the lights just for shows and such?

I think the law varies from state to state but I know in NY, you can get a ticket.

I'm thinking of using Amber lighting.. I think if it's not to bright, it could be legal. Since trucks have lights on the side,
and some reflect off the ground.. What do you all think..

I think it is quite probably irrelevant speculating on what might happen seeing as we're all from different places with different laws. Swing by your local P.D. or courthouse and ask to see the law on it - BAM! Question answered and you know where you stand - Hell, get a copy of the law on paper. That way if a police officer is having a bad day, didn't get laid the night before, bad coffee, whatever, and decides to ticket you just "because," you're golden and in the right.

However, if it is against the law (because it was thought up by someone who has way too much time on their hands and delights in making others' miserable) and you decide to chance it... Well, you know where you stand, correct?

A friend of mine had purple neon under his red IROC. Looked great. He also had lavender and purple pinstriping which also looked great on the red.

i have red under my black 89 rs coupe, and turquoise under my teal 91 rs vert. the turquoise is awsome. i think that would look great under a black car. its extremely bright. and i also suggest you get the gold series streetglow if you get them.

usually you can get them for around 150 - 200 installed... some people ive heard charge as much as 400 for them but thats a rip off so if someoen quotes you say over 250 i wouldnt do it unless you got like 4 colors and stuff.

There's nothing wrong with neons under our cars. I think 18" rims are too much.
