personally i don't think that i am going to get underglow on my car. yeah it looks good but i don't want to hassle with having to repair them all the time. everyone that i know says they had to fix and replace every couple months due to rocks and other things hitting them. but if i did get some they would be blue leds.
also since they are not street legal i don't see the point in getting them unless my car becomes a trailer queen.

if you get a good brand like streetglow, the tubes should not break due to rocks and stuff. The neon bulbs themselves are wrapped in a high impact lexan tubing. The only way that i have broken a tube was actually from the plastic mounts wearing out due to rock salt and stuff. I didnt see it in time until my tube was dragging across the street. If you go with a cheap ebay kit or something then i can imagine they would break alot easier, but i would rather just spend the money on a good name brand, like streetglow.

I have a Streetglow Gold series neo-blue underbody neon kit. Personally i like the look of neon better than LED. LED is too concentrated of a glow where as neon will glow out everywhere. I mounted the side tubes to the inner frame rail, the front to the bottom of the crash bar, and the back over the two bumper supports. Overall, Its a pretty easy install.


u have a lighted pic of your side???...like underside...


No i can try and take one tmr.. do u want it lit up or with it off just showing where i mounted them?

my friend that i talked to said he had street glow or one of the major brand names. his even had the lifetime warranty but all that did for him was make it so he didn't have to buy them everytime they went out.
don't get me wrong i think they look sweet but i just don't want to deal with the hassle on my car. atleast not yet
