I HATE that kinda stuff... BUT I get what you're trying to do and with SOM I think it could be pulled off quite nicely if done right. Try it out... live and learn.

dont worry about what other people think, its your car, if you like it go for it

me personally, i dont like it, but my friend had some neon on his t/a and it wasnt bad, just not my style

its not like itll cost that much so just try it out, if you hate it, sell it to some civic kid

Just because some ricers have something on their car, doesn't mean its "Rice Only"

I don't care for ricers either, but this "Rice-a-phobia" has gotten a little too played out, everything's rice, ground fx side skirts, superchargers, neon lights, V6s....

Everything is ok in moderation, ground fx, neons, and V6's are't horrible monstrosities

when you do a mod, always think to yourself, what other types of people do this?

thats how i go about my mod's.

if you do this mod, dont be surprised if the ricers all start parking around you thinking your boys.

LMAO! I should have specified that billet or chrome makes all the difference with that, and your **** would need to be impeccable.

PS.... PLEASE post pictures of the 39!

i've had neons and LED's; stick with neons. they aren't as durable but they're way brighter and have more of a glow than a beam. don't listen to the anything and everything other than performance mods and TT2's is "rice" people that are taking over this site. it will look cool.

Thanks man, one of the only worthwhile posts here. It will look cool and I can't wait to be at a show when it gets dark and turn them on for the whole crowd to make their way over to my ride.
