That's mine. It isn't a great picture though, so don't judge it too harshly.

I helped (sorta) my friend's dad install them, and it took a pretty good amount of time. Putting them on F-bodys, you run into a few problems. The wires aren't long enough in places, 3 of the 4 tubes show....that's the big ones...if you wanna know more, just say so.

Sorry I don't have pics of my car w/neons (cause I don't even have neons yet! ) but I want to put them on my car as well...................and I can't imagine they're too difficult to install?? Also, what I'm planning on doing (if it can be done??) is buying another factory fog light switch to turn the neons on/off..................since I don't have ASR, there's a blank right beside my fog light switch. If anyone's ever done this, let me know.

........................OK, now that I've butt in on your post, more pics please!!

I have underbody neons and two neons inside my car. I installed all of them, and I have to say, its easy. I hid my underbody neons behind a lip under the doors. The front one was kinda harder because of the air dam. I wired mine to a switch inside my ash tray. The only thing that I thought was hard, was trying to find the room to install them...I had to lift my car up about 6 inches, and I still didn't have much room. If you need help installing them, or have any questions, send me an email, I can tell you how to do it, in detail.

I could understand a show car having platonium horsepower lights but a street car?? OK, fast and the furious type deal is wearing out, grow up.

Just my opinion, so it doesn't matter

Have fun with the lights!

A lot of people on here are WAY to picky about what they consider rice. I hate imports and import wanna-be's, but neons aren't rice, as long as you don't over to it. I mean, yeah, I can see where you would say altezza tail lights are rice, or when a car is lit up like a christmas tree with neons, but a neon underbody kit? I don't think so.

I agree!

I am very "Anti-Rice" (mostly against "bumble-bee" exhausts, "wings", too many stickers, tacky crap all over the cars --- like chrome wipers and stuff?! ) but I saw a black WS6 this past summer with red neons underneath, and IMO it looked very cool. Since then, I've wanted to get neon underbody lights for my car too................either red or purple, but I think I'm leaning toward red.

Also, I was talking to a cop awhile ago about things they typically pull (Ricers) cars over for, and he said that the only colours that should be visible from the front of the car are WHITE (headlights) and AMBER (signals).........................."Ultra-blues" are illegal, as well as coloured (ie: blue) signals. However, he said they usually don't give guys a hard time for underbody lighting, as long as the different coloured lights aren't visible from the front from a certain distance away...................he didn't really say anything about the back.......................point being, in Ontario anyway, they're not illegal to run....................just FYI.

I have nothing against underbody lights, as long as they're done RIGHT!!!!

I've never seen a good set that looks clean and nice, well maybe a few around here but those were on Stangs.

I want to do mine RIGHT. SEMA has a law on their website that says neon is 50 states legal as long as

The lights do not flash. This only applies to Red and Blue for obvious reasons.

The neon TUBE itself is NOT viisible from the FRONT, SIDES, AND BACK of the car.

I'm gonna be running a Street Glow red set on my 93 BLACK T/A, black and red neon go together NICELY.

I'd like a more idiot-friendly guide from the guy who already did it. shoot me AS HIGHLY DDETAILED instructions as you feel like typing at:
