New interior neons and steering wheel
Well I got the new steering wheel on and I am half way through getting the neons in. I screwed the neons to the plastic closest to your shins. I have pics of the old steering wheel, and the neons on the plastic. I will get the other pics tomorrow. I also changed the white lights by the feet to blue and I bought the blue dome light but it sucks. I was thinking about two things, 1 they have blue covers that you can buy for the stock dome light, or 2 paint the inside of the dome cover blue. Which would be better??
Let me know what you think,

neons under the dash look awesome. i've had mine in place for about a year and a half now. now you just need some underbodys to match.
as for your dome light... personally, i just took the bulb out, sanded the glass a bit, and painted a layer of water-based blue paint on it. it makes the light look WHITE (and a little little little bit blue) , but it gets rid of the yellowness altogether... plus the mod was so easy and free to do.

I also agree that underdash neons look cool.
Just PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure you can't actually see the neon tubes, just the glow from them. No wires either.

Well, I got them installed but I jacked the wiring somewhere so the drivers side neon doesnt work and I want to do other things
Here are some pics, the car is dirty as crap though.

i know it seems a little "welfare" ish... but it was the only way that paint was gonna stick, and you cant see any of it afterwards anyways. and its better than paying 10 bucks for the same thing from "Matrix Racing" at the local store.

At pep-boys they sell blue bulbs that fit in the interior dome light spot, and in any other light bulb spot in your car. I think that would be the best solution...and I like the blue neons under the dash. Do you have any pics of your neons w/ them on anth's iroc?
