Exclamation Streetglow DIY (UPDATED PICS)

Hey people, I finally got my neo blue underglow kit from CircaX and installed it. I used Mex's idea of using the OEM skirts to hold the side tubes and cutting the rear bumper. For the front, I just tied it down under at the edge where the pins would normally go. I think everything is well covered. I can't believe how much I like my car now with the new kit and neons. Well, just thought I'd share.

These are new pics that I took with a tripod. Came out so much better. And yes, tubes are hidden.

DIY pics are on the following pages. Thanks to Mex for giving me the idea for the sides and rear placements.

The pics are from a low angle cause I don't have a tripod. It looks better from up top.

The OEM sides basically hold up the neon tube.

They're on an independent switch, so I can always turn them on or off. You can't see the actual tubes during the day either, so it's an invisible mod

Yeah, I learned that already. Sometimes they come on in the parking lots. Oh and yes, there's a way to make the switch one of the buttons on an alarm keypad. You need a wireless tranceiver for the neons I think.

Blue and Red are the main illegal ones. I know that in IOWA green is not illegal but blue and red still are. and I have my neons on an independent switch and on my alarm so yes, that is possible.
