jus follow the directions and you should be set. nothing "really" has to be professionally done as long as you know what your doing (by reading instructions and/or using a little brain power) and as long as you have all the things u need (i.e tools) and take ur time.

I installed mine myself, no problems whatsoever, just take your time and consider all scenerios on what could happen to them when you consider placement of the neons.. I had mine done in two hours with a drill, a cordless drill with a #2 phillips screwdriver bit, some heat shrink, some plastic tubing, new self-tapping screws, a switch, some female end disconnects, a heat gun, and I think that was about it.. maybe I'm missing something but who knows, that's not the point, the point is.. have fun, don't break anything lol Did you get Street Glow Gold series? They come with a lifetime warrenty.. definitely worth the money.

couldnt of said that better myself..ESPECIALLY if your car is lowered. thats all you need is to scrape and break them. you shouldnt really have to worry about the front and back though, its the sides. also use common sense and make sure you cant see the neons, i HATE people that do that!!!

Search for a thread by Mex, he did a very complete DIY on underbody neon install. That should help you out too.

If this is your first time installing neon, isuggest you work with something smaller like in dash stuff. But if you really want to install the underbody's yourself it is a very difficult tim consuming process. Especially if you don't have jackstands (heheheh). And one mor thing, unless you have a body kit installed on your car, it is going to be very difficuly to install the tubes without all of them being visible. My best advice is to just carefully plan everything out before you get started.
