Default Orange Underglow

I am debating doing some orange underglow. Ive done a bunch of performance stuff and some appearance but i think orange underglow would be awesome on a SOM t/a. What do you guys think? Would I be good getting a neon kit off of ebay or do I need to get a high quality kit?

Don't hate on the neon because i guarantee you are gonna be like wow! when you see it.

Anyone think i should go with red instead or is orange a good choice?

I wouldn't do it. I think the neon phase has come and gone.

I don't like neons that much. If you must have neons and you go to carshows, i think it'd be bad *** to have neons shine up into your engine. I've seen that in a couple f-bodys and mustangs and i dig it.

Whether it matches the car or not it looks very ricey. This is coming from a former Honda guy, I wouldn't do it. I never did a single ricey mod on my cars and never intended to... and neon was the last thing on my list of mods.

It looks too cheesy. Unless you have a stricly show car I would NEVER do it. Don't ruin a beautiful SOM T/A....

I actually think it would look pretty cool.

Try it out, if you don't like it, then sell it on ebay and try to recuperate some of your money.

neon looks nice in the interior only when you see the glow and not the tube, but not under the car

You might check into some like a buddy of mine has on his car. It is actually LED's instead of the traditional neons & they are way better. Even came with a remote so at night when he is posted up in a parking lot hanging out he can change the pattern the lights run in or make them solid. I thought his set-up was pretty tight & it didn't look bad either.
