Now where can I get a good deal on lighted windshield washers, vinyl flame decals, fuzzy dice, and a horn that plays "cucaracha"?

(I'm talking mainly about the neons here... not the fuzzy dice because that goes even farther back.)

So for my brother and I, we see it more as a "guido" thing as opposed to ricey. But I'm pretty sure it must've shown up on Civics first because those guys in the Trans-Ams didn't have an original bone in their body.

Typically underbody neons are horrible looking, but I've seen cases where it looks pretty decent. I'd have to say that putting it on the Z would be a bad idea, as 95% of the body mods, regardless of what they are, look bad on the Z. The closest thing I would come to putting neons on the car would be the LED lights on the bumper reflector. See: here

HA HA HA, Knight Rider..... Anyway, just wanted to revisit the legality issue for a second. People who are in TX can't have any kind of interior or exterior lights (exlcluding headlights and brake lights of course) running while driving. This includes any neon (my friend has been pulled over for it). I promptly told him how gay he was to have had it on his jeep to begin with.... I smacked some sense into him and he took it off, thank god.
