Rice master general. . . .

Why do you need lights under your seats?

I don't know about neons or anything as I haven't got that far with my car yet, but I do know they have these really cool looking fake roll cages. They are not to much money cause they don't work but they look cool. There are also these gauges you can get that have the needle froze in a certain spot and it lighst up so you don't have to wire it up but it looks cool. Oooo and there is this way cool speaker you can get for your car and it sounds like a turbo blow off valve but its cool because you don't actually have to buy a turbo just the speaker. Oh and also there is this stuff called Astroglide you can get so it doesn't hurt as bad from taking it up the *** all the time.

Before you buy that car you might look at a Honda Del Sol.

Oh and when he said "check page 2" he meant "search for about a minute" and not "type bump" fyi =)

wow.. dont call someone a ricer you dont know.. go trash someone else's thread's.. dont waste my time.. if you call interior lights ricers we might as well just go and say screw turbo's cause those were in the fast and the furious too.. lets all just go out and buy Superchargers and big Cal hoods so we look HxC.... theres more to cars then going to the track and running the 1/4.. get a life. go trash someone else's thread.

Seriously, chill out. Let the man do what he wants to. Just because you don't like something, that means he "takes it up the *** all the time." get a clue. YOU are an ***. Oh and some people on this forum think anything that isn't stock appearance is rice. So I guess that means your Z28 with the SS hood is RICE. It looks like you need some Astroglide your self.

Now back on topic.
blasphemy6789 just make sure the tubes are completely hidden if you go neon under the seats. Good luck and post pics if you get the car.

I have been thinking about doing the PITA switch to blue in my TA. Was wondering if the blue is easy to see, or did it mess with your eyes? The red is supposed to be easier on the eyes in your perhipheral vision. But...red is so, everywhere.

anyway. i would suggest just keeping the lights to a minimum, and put them in spots where you cant see the light itself, but the light shines on other objects. (under the kick panel, so it lights up your carpet.)

Dang, that looks sharp.

I'm doing the exact same to mine, except I have yet to get the headlight switch and asr/fog buttons to light up blue. Everything else is the same, except I have a narrowband a/f instead of the wideband.

i think the blue looks great. i'm jealous.

if you do neons under your seats, you need to leave plenty of wire so when you move the seats, the wires don't rip out. other then that, its just mounting them and checking for clearance!

yea .. thats current plan.. to put them under the seats hidden so just the carpet is lit up. any recommendation and/or advice on installing the switch.. i was thinking either center console.. or somewhere by the radio.. any idea how hard the center console would be? never really messed with wiring..

Thanks.
