Neon, Or Not To Neon

[Bibbs]

Right .. I'm thinking of adding Neons to my car .. and I wanna get the tubes (not LED's) and I want them proper hidden so you can't tell they are there.

I've gone for a blue/silver/black colour scheme everywhere else .. so I've have thought Blue would be best .. but every other car has blue too .. White maybe?

[Yarisboy]

i'd advise strongly against it...

unless of course you are actually trying to feature in 3 fast 3 furious :)

[Moffmo]

dunno howd theyd look on a mr2..............

[ae111sr]

Might as well get some Lax Powder stickers to go with the neons mate

[DeusMR2]

i think blue would look quite nice but why not the flat LED's? far better than neons aint they?

[dave5282]

Best underlighting I saw was on pick-ups in the states, some serious chrome going on underneath, and a blcklight to highlight it.

But that was about 8 year ago, b4 max the muppet got hold of it for his saxo/nova/etc

I say go for it if you want em. i spent years on SXOC with the "oooo lax power" "neons are crap" "your !Removed! if you have neons" etc etc narrow mindidness, sod 'em if you like em go and do it, its your car...and you do things to it for yerself not other people....

Dont think white would look right, although i could be wrong, blue/green might look ok...

Any reason why your not going for the led ones? they tend to be a lot brighter and can be hidden just as well as tubes....

I also know of a decent set going for sale if your interested, and they change colour so that would clear up the decision

The most awesome system out there.

Neons serve no purpose what so ever, your car looks nice enough as it is (except those door decals!)

If you want to throw subtle and smooth out the window then go for it, as stated above, it really is your car chief.

But surely there are better things to spend the money on?

[Moffmo]

500 quid for the ice-led set??!!

[SMiFFAD]

smiffad how much??

Think my mates looking for around the £200 mark, they are actually the ones hanging on the bottom of the shock mr2.... and are very impressive, but nick being the poser he is is going for the ICE LED onesnow! Current ones were about £350 new, and havent been on their long...

[bh969]

I do like the BLACK light (UV) specially if they are well hidden shame they don't do led ones

[RichB]

ICELED costs a lot (but they'll knock a few quid off if you call them)

But, the results are amazing, watch the video, see how awesome it is, and it's a load better in the flesh.

[Monster-Mat]

its your car, do as you wish

[Jimlad]

I want the iceled ones !!

[MissMR2]

its your car, do as you wish

was just about to post the exact same thing! :P

each to their own i say. fair dos ppl may not agree with stuff

you do to your car, and fair dos, you yourself mite think when u see

a car, omg why did they do that to their car,...

but at end of day, your the one thats driving it, and its your money.

everyone has their own tastes and wants.

:D

[midmotorsteve]

i think the poll is speaking the right choice so far.

[Bibbs]

The reason I don't want to go LED is cause they don't throw the light as far .. so you have two lit lines down each side instead of a nice glow under the car ..

If I do go that route I'll get them hidden in the skirts etc so you can see them at all .. then all you Neon !Removed!'s (heh heh) can not see them and look away when I turn them on :P

I think I've moved away from the subtle street racer look already - with the kit, rims & decals etc ..

[Moffmo]

normal ones dont last as long tho............

[Bibbs]

How "long" is "long" <fnar> ..

And what's the scope with getting new tubes?
