Trust me, with how tight these things were held against the car it's pretty damned hard to pull em out. You'd have to slightly bend the tube to be able to slide it out.
The mounting brackets I got with my tubes seemed too flexible and they held the neon too far away from the car. I was afraid of scraping/breaking of clamps/breaking of tubes.

Rep Power: 319 Hah I'm totally sorry I couldn't do it with real pics but it'd be wholly impractical to do it because I really don't have the means or gear to show you on my car. Plus I have sideskirts.
But my DIY was simple enough and made sense right guys?
