Question interior neon color/placement question

I want to put one or two 10" neon tubes in my car, and my theme so far is black and red (common, I know, but it works for me) and I was wondering what color I should go for as far as tube color because I think the red neon will look too much like orange, so should I go for white? I dunno. And, as for the placement, I was lookin' around the inside of my car ('01 LX Coupe), and I couldn't find any practical places to put the tubes where they would not be visible but still put off a decent glow coverage, though I didn't look too hard mind you. I figured I should just come here first. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I would take up gotti's placements. I have two under my front dash, two under the passengers seats, and two on the sides of the seats. All produce a great amount of light. My friend has the same setup along with 18" lights on the roof all 4 sides. His looks sweet.

heres a example of what you could do, this is what mine looks like. 2 20" under the seats, 2 9" under the dash and 4 3" in all 4 vents (this pic is old, it was taken when i had only 2 vents done). remember when you install them...."if done right, neons are one of the best things you can do, if done wrong, its rice!". just place them where you cant see tubes or wire and thats it. and yes neons are a chick magnet!


edit- holy crap! i got to learn to check dates of the thread BEFORE i reply to it!
