:laughing:

I think his basic answer would be no, it wouldn't be cool...which is my answer too...

Strobes!?! No dude....
Something that is pretty cool is custom stuff...like ford50only5 at sounddomain....he's wiring up blue LEDs all over the place....you could it's a tad bit overboard and that he is crazy....but it's actually kinda cool what he is doing...
He got like 100 blue LEDs on ebay for like $5.00 or something I think... :shock:

Neons....sometimes they look cool under the seats and in the trunk to highlight a component in your system when you open the trunk....but underbody neons are just too ricey (is that a word?)....

Alright I've been watching you post for a little while, and while I can't understand why (show? lowrider?) but I still want to know all your plans for you car.

I beleive he was looking for the lowrider look...

Dude, if you wanna do it right, and make some neons or strobes look cool, you're going to have to rip out the back seat and install a large fish tank.

At this point, you'll want to light up the fish tank with the neons and strobes... That would be cool. Although, I would hope the fish dont have epilepsy... :-)

LED ones are better, I would choose them over the actual neons, due to breakage reasons.
