door panels
the only problem i had was the orange now reflects off the silver in the guages and is bright orange b4 they were more red so i had to change the color of the lights under my dash from red to orange. i decided i'm going with the orange, silver, and black scheme now so next on the list is orange underbody lighting

You wouldn't understand its a 17 year old thing

I put neons under my car a few years ago. It wasn't that difficult to do. It only took me an evening. I didn't have the full kit that you can buy though. I just bought single lights and wired them together and made it so that they would plug into the cigar lighter.
irocbirdbuilder, make sure that you check into the laws about neon lights in your area. I put blue ones on my car and went over 2 years with out any problems, but suddenly last summer I got pulled over because a cop didn't like that they are blue. I kinda wish that I would have bought a different color now.

Interior mods look great.

I mounted the passenger one on a lip of metal that runs the length of the car below the door, it sticks down about 2 inches. I only have a 15 inch light there, but I think that a longer light would fit there without anything getting in the way. I wish that I would have used either a longer light there or have used 2 of them.

Instead of using one light in the back I used 2 small ones. I pointed them forewards/backwards instead of going the width of the car. I mounted the passenger side on a lip under the trunk area where the spare tire sits. On the drivers side there was another metal tab that runs the same direction.

Its been a while since I've messed with the lights so I'm sorry if my descriptions of where I mounted them aren't that great.

I think that you went a little overboard on the door panels. Not my style.

It's not my cup of tea, but it's a lot more tasteful than some of what I've seen around here. At least you didn't use yellow or red.

that's looking good i mean i've seen a lot worse around here like i've always said painting little accent peices is a tasteful thing to do, painting the really big noticiable peices now that is a different story. in short it's looking good keep up the good work.
