Default Have a question about neon

I searched but is there such a thing as a controller for neon that can be hooked up to revs of an engine. Keep the neon is gay ricer or stupid comments to yourself. I have a good idea for the car to put mini tubes behind the side vents and hood vents in white and if it can light up as I rev the engine I think it could look

Let me know what you got and thanks in advance.

The onlything i know of is a sound activated neon/led tube and they pick up everything depending on how there set you can adjust them but i had some one my blazer for a while but every bump i hit it picked that up to so its up to you.

Are you saying you can adjust the sensitivity of it because I want it to only light up when I 'm really revving it past 3k or so because otherwise it would look stupid and attract attention for no reason. I just wanted this as maybe a trick at the redlight or cruise. Riding around with a whole underglow is stupid.

yeah its the firehawk hood

And yes I did find the controller I reread it and it can be adjusted to the engine or the beat of the music. Thanks for the referral.

why do guys that have beautiful cars want to go and do silly stuff like this and make them look like rice? That badass looking Formula should get enough attention as it is, doesn't need cheesy neon junk.

Well, unless you are an ugly girl and want to attract teenage ricerboys. Then add LOTS of neon!

I had neons on my car once.













One year later they are still on my car but I never turn them on.

Didn't he ask to keep the comments to yourself?? I think it could be cool hooked up with the engine as you stated, I agree about having it on a switch though.

I like the rev/neon idea, I would do a neon in my SS hood (knight rider style) but I don't want the cops messin' with me

I think the neons on the hood vents is a cool idea. He said himself glow under the whole car is stupid. I was just replying to nineball about the underbody neon "junk" I have on my car.
