Default Thoughts on Underbody Lights?

Hello. well i was jsut curious what your thought on underbody lights were. I dont mind them. I thin kthey are very eye catching and look very nice when the actual tube is not visible and al lyou get is a glow. You guys think its rice since maybe they do have the underbody lights? What are your thoughts? Think a red kit may look nice on my car with the red overlays or rice?

Lots of people call them rice, but i personally like them. If the color of the lights look good with the cars color then it is alright. Also when you put them on make sure that you cannot see any of the bulbs that makes them look like A$$.

If installed right they look great. Becareful with the rear one though, if you mount it infront of your muffler it will be visible.

Just don't overdo the neons, then it will look like . Personally I wouldn't do that on an F-Body, doesn't really suit the style IMO, but if you like it, do it.

Heh. I'd recommend against white unless your exhaust/muffler is very clean. If it is, show it off with white! You've got to be careful with white lighting tho as you don't want to light up ugly parts (wheel wells, etc).

I'm not a big fan of the underbody neons, simply because I believe the shiny look of my black car at night is something that should not be messed with. Other colors sometimes need a little extra at night tho.

most ppl on here are going to say RICE I can tell ya that much. I would say get em and find out for yourself. I had green on my black GP GT and they were badass, but I ended up getting rid of them because it was too big of a pain with turning them on and off if there were cops around since they hate those damn things. You can only have them on when your parked and you'll get a ticket faster for those than dark as hell tint.

YEa well first im trying to decide if i really do want them. I am jsut curous how it would look. Most of you think white would look better on my car than red? Whys that? I have all red overlays so dont you like that would match way better? Well anyways, thanks for the opinions but im still undecided.
