underbody neons
hey all i was just wondering how/where neons are installed? i want to put some on my car but im afraid that theyll be sticking out since i dont have a bodykit on my car. is it possible to put them on without a kit and still have htem hidden?

My neons were installed before my kit went on. I mounted the front and rear tubes on the actual metal bumpers behind the plastic covers, then cut the bumper covers in order to let the light shine to the ground. The sides were mounted behind that little metal lip that your side skirts would normally mount to.

Rep Power: 368 Thing is my car was slammed (no kit yet) before I put the neons on, so you'd have had to lie down on the ground to see the tube anyway. But if you were stock height with no kit, they'd be easily seen. I just laughed and pointed at some kid in a Grand Am who drove by me with his tubes fully exposed.
I don't have a body kit on my car, however.. the little lip underneath on the sides IS big enough to hide your tubes if you have them positioned right. I have the Optyx LED color changing underbodies.. and every encounter I've had with street glow underbody neon/leds, the tubes have been all the same size. But my shop only carries street glow, so I really don't have any exposure to any other manufacturers other than Street Glow. But I would think they'd mostly all be the same.

Rep Power: 0 eh, i dont like the lambo doors much, depends on what else u have i suppose. has to fit the car, like if ur stock, no body kit, u dont get lambo doors! ive seen it lol.
haha Very true..
after the kit and everything though.. definitely lambo doors.. although the half lambo doors/half delorean doors on the ferrari enzos are pretty sweet.. someone should fabricate a kit for our cars so our doors do that. ha
and yes blckpwdr, ricergribbs established that's what he wanted to do in the very first post.

personally i think lambo doors are wseet on just about any coupe but thats just me. i also have neons installed with no kit and the sides are not visible at all. just mount themon the inside of the metal support.
