Now wait.... heres an idea.... if you dont like it, who cares and why post here? He didnt ask for your opinions. He asked if anyone had them. I might think a lot of yall "personal mods" look like complete **** (like the billet grill insert... its not stock, so its rice, right?) but I dont go throwing the rice term everywhere.

Now lets keep this thread civil please.

The blue on white is nice, but the way he has it set up just ruins the look of it I think. The one I saw at a show you could not see the tubes, and it lit up the entire ground under the car, rather than a strip on each side and a strip on the front and back. It also lit up the back of the wheels, which were also blue. It looked sick. I think it is all in the way it is presented.

Oh and for the 30th anniversary car in 1997 not 1999...you are right...so the car I saw was not an anniversary model then, not sure what it was called, but it was that special edition that came with blue stripes and blue wheels, whatever the hell that edition is.

A lot of you remind me of Uncle Rico from that Napolean Dynamite movie you know that "man if I could go back to 1982 I would of won state"

Have an open mind on things, you might surprise yourself on what looks good on the car, not all of us want some 700hp track only car. I have seen red on a black T/A and I thought it looked pretty nice. Would I do it? Hell no, I've had them before on my Grand Prix and keeping those things clean to give it the glow it needs, not to mention getting them tucked under good enough so if you hit something hard you don't take one off or break it (lexon isn't indestructable) made it feel like a waste of $100+ for a full kit. Neons are for shows flat out...ricers are the ones who made it the everday thing.

mine underbody kit lights up all of the underside of the car, and even when i pop the hood it lights up the engine bay pretty well. ive gotten nothing but compliments on mine but to each his own, and to me the streetglow is the best underbody kit if your gonna do it, non of that LED **** those are useless.

The first Trans Am wasn't manufactured until the 1969 model year. Therefore, the 30th anniversary Trans Am was the 1999 model year.

LED= Useless? Ummm...LED is brighter than your standard neons. Streetglow makes LED underglow neons. LED is the type of light not brand. I'm not sure what you are getting at?

How do neons look under the hood to light up stuff? Look cool if done right or total negative? Just an idea since im looking to spice up under my hood, how would you go about this?
