If you're willing to wait for mine, you can have any color you want, just dial it in....don't like it, dial in another one. Get really bored? Have it cycle through the colors, or change color when you punch the throttle.

I'm working on the code right now, trying to get the box done for Hot Import Nights in Miami on the 13th.

Sounds sweet. How vulnerable re the lights underneath? I live in Ny and the pot holes reak havoc on cars up here, which is one of the reasons why I won't go with an underbody kit.

Since I'll be using LEDs instead of neon tubes, there's no need to worry about shattering them. Also, there's no need for me to put it in a stiff tube, so you can bend and place as necessary.

There are two main problems with neon that can prevent an underbody from looking good: 1) The neon tubes cannot be bent to form to the underside of the car...since practically no car has an uninterrupted straight line along the sides, placement of the tubes is usually done in a non-optimal manner, and 2) even if there WAS a straight line, most installers could care less and end up putting the tube where not only the light can be seen, but the tube itself. The result of either is a ****-poor job, or as some would say, the car looks ""ricey" (they may say that regardless of the install quality ). With my setup, you can bend the tube wherever you need it to mount and wherever it can be best hidden.

I'll go into more detail on my website once I get things up and running with the controller I'm currently working on. I'm working as fast as I can, but it's never fast enough...
