Wrong forum buddy. I believe you want this. www.clubsi.com

or maybe www.clubrsx.com

This is a website for muscle cars.
But I've got a little tip for ya. Those underbody neons? Crap. What happens if it rains? or you scrape the bottom of your car? Or worse, drain your batteries because you left them on, or a rock hits and breaks them.

If it were me, I'd stay far away.

Exactly. Our cars are pretty low even in stock form, making them prime targets for destruction. The only place that I could think of putting them would be the channels in the underbody where one would normally put subframe connectors. If you would rather use that space for neon tubes than SFCs, then you won't find much help here, Sorry man.

P.S. If your boy has them on his WS6, why not just look at his and see how they are installed?

Please don't put those on your car. Just get a lowering kit, and it will look a lot better than having neon lights. Also, I remember someone on here had done that, it looked ok but was still ricey. Try doing a search, I think it was a couple of months ago.

Were not flaming you man just guiding you in the right direction, the reason we cant answer your "tech" question is because we all respect our cars enough not to massacre them with "neons"

Who's gonna be the judge of that one though? I'll tell ya right now, the vast majority of people on this board think neon looks ricey, period, end of discussion. Doesn't matter how it's installed, what it's installed on, what colors your use, how many you install.

To most of us, neon is rice in every way, shape, and form. There's no such thing as neon that doesn't look ricey. No flame here, just letting you know what the majority view on this board is regarding neon. It's not right, it's not wrong, it's just what it is, a view.

Take it to an car audio/electronics shop and tell them your thinking about having some installed, they will eagerly tell you how it will be done thinking they are the ones gonna do it for yah. But like the rest of the guys bro, I would advise against it big time. Let the children have there fun with their colors, let us stick to actual performance.
