Neons?

I was thinking about getting some Streetglow Gold Series, underbody neons for my Civic. I think it will definetly make it stand out at night. What I'm wondering is, what color should I get. Blue and Red are illegal and cops around here are dicks sometimes. So I was thinking about green,orange, and maybe white. I just think orange and green would stand out more. Opinions? Help?

They'll be going on this.

if i were you id get white as well...and LEDs over neons if possible cuz you can always fix LEDs but once neons are cracked, then thats it for them....just make sure the tubes dont show from any angle....you can get ticketed if the tubes show...but...there is no law saying light can be reflected from the ground....

leds are on ebay. i have also thought of this. but neons are just brighter, and can come in protective tubing. its not just like a black light. there is a layer on top of it also.
yes white will show up as much as any other color.
and you won't get ticketed in GA. its GA not cali.

Streetglow has a warranty...If you buy from an authorized dealer, and they break, you're supposed 2 be able to get new ones..

I wanna see a car with white streetglow gold series.

I was also thinking about the 7 color LED kit. So I could just change between colors when I felt like it.

LED or Regular?

I have blue on my SSM. I like it.

You're not supposed to be driving w/ cops around anyways.

White or green are your next best bet, if not blue.

the warranty covers everything except cracking the tubes(someone at street glow was smart when they thought of that). White looks awesome, I plan on adding it when the summer comes..... as far as price i think summit has it the cheapest for 170$

Ok so if it's legal to have blue/red...

I'm thinking of either RED, BLUE, or WHITE for my SSM.

What's everyone think?

Save for what? I can't really do anything to my car, because it's under warranty. Mom bought it for me, because the car I had before it had tons of problems, so she said I had to get a warranty.
