Ok... well.... erm... I really really really liked the look of the Evo and that Skyline in 2Fast2Furious ... Those Blue Neons looked amazing.. and... well im gonna get it done to mine... (/me ducks)

Oh comeon ... you have to admit .. a Blue Sti8 with a sutle blue glow coming from all the right places would look pretty amazing!!

Anyone know how the law sits on neons on cars?? I know that if the bulb is visable that they have to be certain colours . But a glow coming from under the car... Apparently isnt illegal, but is a very gray area..

And any general thought and opinions will be appreciated :D
And i swear that my car will not be appearing in MAX POWER no matter how much they begg :p

Be Gentle :D

do it right and don skimp on the kit, and it will look amazing...i sugest lowering the car as well
By "Skimp" i mean a kit from halfords or a car shop.....a good neon kit will set you back around £500+..thats for a total under car lighting kit........but i suspect that you wanted just a few neons.......that flame suit better be a tight fit...:)

all the best

Found some neons.. the same stuff that they used in 2fast2furious direct from the US .. i can get it for £200 4 High Quality strips for under the car.. and have no fear .. its not going to be a halfords Job... no f00king way :D

And im gonna hunt for a some local pros to fit them.... Bling Bling :D

That skyline looked loveleeeee and whatever the smoke thing was i want one of those tooo, in fact i want to be paul walker and want all the lovely ladeeess to.

i think it could look good but isn't it a bit to much Blue with blue,

I dont know give it a shot it could look really good or you might just be getting a free mebership to redline magazine

Dog turd v's neons? Dog turds win every time!!! ;) :D

scoob_babe 24 June 2003 11:19 AM

ours came from Salsa King and are the same ones as used on F&F first time round. It's a laugh but you won't get any extra bhp though ;)

vash 24 June 2003 11:20 AM

Lol.... thats low :p.... Tell you what you strap some doggy doo doos onto your scooby and cometo a meet and i will buy you a pint :D

goonasuk 24 June 2003 11:26 AM

Get LED strips rather than Neons MUCH brighter

GarethE 24 June 2003 11:27 AM

As I have a black STi, anyone know where I can get some black neon lighting from ;-)

vash 24 June 2003 11:29 AM

HAW HAW HAW :D

austen_wrx 24 June 2003 11:33 AM

Actually did better than strapping doggy doos onto the car, my son dooed himself whilst he was playing in my car while i wash washing it, the first thing i knew about it was when i saw it smeared all over the leather gear knob and steering wheel!!!! :(

Funny enough I have some subtle black neons waiting for you - £200 and they're yours!!! You'll never know they're there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on you know you want 'em.

vash 24 June 2003 12:03 PM

Note to self .. when have son... never let him in car ... with out 2-3 nappies :D

Anyone got any info on the legal side of neons????

Huffer 24 June 2003 12:07 PM

vash I have an idea.
The skyline in 2f2f was primarily silver, and had blue neons. if you have a blue car, why not a WHITE glow?

The upside is that if you ever need to work under the car, you'll already have enough light! :)

Seriously now, if you're going to have the neon, make sure you can back it up with the driving ability! You know you'll attract a $hitload of attention!

vash 24 June 2003 12:24 PM

Good point.. i had thought about white... but decided was a tad dull :(... And as to the driving.. what do you take me for ?? A TT driver :D ... I have had a scooby for the last 3years and i know how to handle it.. but i dont plan any bridge jumping action :D

Woot... Its gonna be Elite :D

Jen 24 June 2003 01:33 PM

Whenever I watch any F&F movies I always get the urge to sticker-up/neons etc :D lol! Don't think I'd be brave enough to take it out the garge though :)

Look forward to seeing the finished article...anyway for legal advice try 5ive-o Lovely guys on there and they're well practised at giving legal advice :)

vash 24 June 2003 01:38 PM

I have a very high Embarrisment fresh hold.. as my girl friend will testify :p ... anyway...

It will look amazing.. and i will have a whole host in the members gallery in about 1months time :D

Already ordered my Firestorm Pipe :D

Flame kit anyone :D

But people i need help on colours!! What you all thinking?

austen_wrx 24 June 2003 01:41 PM

Its got to be pink if you want it to be a proper Gay Car!! :p ;) :D

vash 24 June 2003 01:47 PM

Lol you really dont like neons do ya :D

Stop stalking me.. im getting scared :p

Na pink would clash with my Sti Badges if its not the same shade.. and that would be so last season :D

austen_wrx 24 June 2003 01:51 PM

They might clash with your pink underwear i spotted whilst peeping over your garden wall!! :D ;)

I scaring myself now!!!

Madjay 24 June 2003 02:06 PM

why not Orange neons i think it would look pretty damn good against the blue

vash 24 June 2003 03:10 PM

mmmm or what about yellow??? they would be the opposite or the fast and furious Evo ?

salsa-king 24 June 2003 06:13 PM

Anyone ever put a small Neon in their scoop?? Seen a few VW golfs with the "VW" illuminated... wondered if anyone has done the scoop thing! :)

Huffer 25 June 2003 02:23 AM

I have seen a mod to light up your front badge, it was somewhere on scoobymods.com

if it's tastefully and carefully done, IMHO, nothing is rice!
Emphasis on TASTEFULLY! :D

salsa-king 26 June 2003 06:47 AM

neon under scoop can be done dead easy .. use slim line neons ;)


Phil

kenny.c 27 June 2003 03:26 AM

i was at a local car accessories shop checking out the neon kits, they were selling for £180 inc vat( fitting kit+ 4 neons), what puts me off the idea is how the brackets are attatched to the underside........presume it's drilled into the sill area behind the sideskirts...whatever but won't corrosion be a problem ?? I keep thinking when winter comes with plenty of salt on the roads....you get the picture.

Still any fourthcoming advice from folk that has already done this
mod would be appreciated.......cheers !!
