This is a poll. Is the under-car neon that makes the road glow too ricey?

 

I used to like it... so I wont give it super duper ricey. on a show car, made for the purpose to be shown, with a nice hookup(cant see the lights) in a color that matches the car. I think its one of the less offensive and more eye catching neon accents.

 

Its agreeable if well done.

 

Well I havent posted in a long time. Hell I havent read the board in a long time, but anyway here goes with my brand of useless banter...
*shrug* I dont get it with the neon and the stuff...maybe it'd be useful if you where trying to diminish the bug population of your neighborhood. This being my personal opinion ofcourse, I believe if something goes on a car it should have a purpose, if you want it on a show car for some odd reason I guess to each his own its their work. But on a street car...really, why? Other then to beg for attention what exactly does it do? I guess Im just not in tune with
my ricer side, kinda like adding 20 horsepower adding racing seats and 400 pounds of stereo equipment and feeling the need for a giant wing and a sticker paintjob...

 

... same M O ... three civics....

 

"We like em!"

 

They can be done very tastefully, if done with the correct color, etc. The problem is that there is so much "rice" driving around with I underglow, that they now have a negative connotation. Make sure that you install it well, and use the right color and it will look excellant!

 

oh jeez, that is priceless!

 

Under car neon & uselless wings on street cars are diagnostic of rice syndrome , Not fatal usually but prognosis for avoiding expensive encounters with police is poor.

 

PLEASE DON"T DO IT. KEEP THE 350Z AWAY FROM THE "RICE BOY" STYLE OF MOD.

 

Can you say UNCLE BEN's!

"3 T-66 Turbos,....and a Motech System exhaust"....

 

In reference to that, check out this tri-turbo supra

 

for show, then i guess it's ok...

but i still think it's super duper ricey!!!

wut the hell is w/ this neon crap...it's horrible..

i saw a black civic ex or sth w/ under car neon last week, i just shook my head and turn my back on it...POS..

 

That is insane,..thought a Skyline motor in a Supra was crazy enough,..now that got 3 Turbos,...haha well just like Hector said,..but all for 1 car!

I'm still dying to know what a Motech system exhaust,..thought motech was a Fuel management system,..not Exhaust system?hahahah--Either way.



NO Neons PLEASE!?

 

there's also the whole illegal thing...

 

Hello, and welcome to Seaside

 

are they really illegal?

 

LEgality is a state issue so different states may be different.

Here in CT ANY blue lights are illegal unless you are law enforcement or emergency personel. I suppose red or amber or white would be legal.

Enforcement seems to be lax as long as the blue lights don't look like police lights. I see a lot of cars with blue lights on the hood (washer nozles) and some blue neon cars.

Your mileage may vary. In LosAngeles they may qualify you for a hardwood shampoo from the local gendarmes.

 

I'm pretty sure if you trace back the roots of the word "Neons" you'll somehow find a relation to the word "Civic" as well.

Only Neons I wanna see are in my fictional Fast and Furious movies.

 

Neon is cool... if it's still 1990

If you want neon... buy yourself a pickup truck, lower it and slap on some 13" Daytons... then you can be right up to date with the rest of the neon-under-your-dipstick-mobile croud.
