Default ricey? underbody neon lights

I have wanted some of the long under body lights that a lot of ricey/ghetto cars have but I don't know if I would be pushing it and making my car look retarded. The first WS6 I ever saw was black with red lights underneath it, I think red and blue are illigal though. It looked awesome and I never hear of anyone with them so I was wondering if it's something taboo that ls1 owners don't talk about haha. If anyone has pictures please post them *begs*

you have it backwards. red is the only color legal, all thought it can only come on when you are braking... any other color or time is illegal.

Yeah they look stupid, and while that may only be a opinion, its a widely regarded opinion. So feel free to go for it but dont be surprised when people besides ricers dont chase you down to compliment you on it.

I had red underbody neons on my red WS6 and I thought they looked great. I eventually took them off because i hardly turned them on.

Very ricey. No useful functionality, and a usually-illegal appearance mod. Our cars garner enough attention as it is.

just say no to neons. Even those pesky SRT-4 type that won't admit they are neons.

I've got neon on my WS.6, but it's not under the car. I put tubes under the dash, under the front seats, and in the ram air intakes...I won't put them under the car

That is incorrect, if so people with their parking lights on would be pulled over. Plus, red is illegal on the front of a vehicle.
The only color you might be able to get away with is orange, the only problem I can think of is the rear. You are only suposed to see orange from the rear of a car if it's turning.

The only colors you can "legally" have on your car goes,
Front: White"ish", yellow, and orange.
Sides: Red and orange
Rear: Red, white and orange.

This does not mean you have a right to put color corrasponding neons on your car, because I believe you can get pulled over because they are "distracting" regardless if they stobe or anything.

I use to have Red Streetglow gold series under my camaro, have pics on my cardomain site. Need to upgrade my cardomain sometime, but they were really bright and looked good for awhile until i got outta that stage and never used them anymore so i took them off.
