interior led footwell question

Ok i've been lurkin around here for a couple of weeks now and i figure i might as well register.. just got me a brand new black rx8 a couple of months ago and its about time to start makin my baby look a little nicer. i'm about to get some blue interior lighting done, but i wanted you guys' opinions on whether or not you think this stuff is reliable (since Rotary Rasp isn't doing the lights anymore!!! )

you might also choose to go to a pc website and just order the cold cathode tubes from there. It's much cheaper usually

V-LEDs has some new strip lights that are available in a bunch of different sizes. Sorry, no UV though. (Hint: look at my sig)

they're more expensive if you order them through Fluid, you can just get them directly from Rotary Rasp since he makes them. Cut out the middle-man.

I stock green, blue, red, and white. I suppose I could do black if you wanted to pay extra for the parts.

So before all these bills start to add up I gotta get everything done to my car beforehand so she can't get mad at me after haha
