That's cool, I haven't seen many 8's with underglow... might I suggest using red wheel well lights instead of the white... u know get more of a circular light projection around the car instead of FRONT, SIDES, REAR...

looks great though bro

Alright, back to the OP's car. (aka /end threadjack)


Sweet looking hood lights, I actually think that's the best part of your light setup. (Seibon, VIS, or Varis? Just out of curiosity)

The Wheel Well lights are an interesting touch but I think having them white takes away from your red underglows. Maybe if you had them set to strobe, it might look better. (i realize they were on for photos) Got video of them strobing?

I'm not usually a huge fan of underglow because I see too many cars with them and you can tell they walked down the discount aisle at PeP Boys and just slapped them on. Yours however look to be a decent set.
Just don't drive around with them on and we'll be okay.

No i didn't replace any LEDs in the instrument cluster, the 30 second time exposure picks up the lights pretty well, thats probably why they look so bright.

well i had my audio shop put it in for me, total...they charged me 550. I was a repeat customer so they took off about 300 bucks (big purchase before this).
I think they said for the 6 strobes it was 250 somthing, and the underglow kit was 250 something. I got free install :D

I wouldn't attempt it on your own unless u are very crafty, it took my audio shop about 8 hours from start to finish, they did a really clean job tho.

aww poor little guy at least he's doin good, tell him i think he looked VERY strong. I bet he could beat me in a fight, hands down.



I don't plan to drop it any time soon, but these pictures are a little bit deceiving, when you see the car, it doesn't look as high as it does in the pictures. The white lights usually stobe, so u almost don't have enough time to evaluate how "4x4" my car looks. It does look better in person, if i get a chance ill try and take a video.

oh and yes, the strobes do show through the wheel spokes, i guess it was a bit hard to pic up through the photos.

alfy, i like ur picture :P

Thanks for the comments/criticism guys! ill try and get some more pics of the different colors and a video of the strobes.

:D ahh yes we have the same views on neon. My hood is Seibon, i think i will have to get a video of my stobes going, they really are a nice touch. and when they strobe..u still see a ton of the red, i really like it. I think they actually put me over the edge for the car show i entered. I won, with a grand prize of only a hundred dollar gas card (my high school, homecoming tail gate car show:D)

When I saw the first picture my opinion kinda went with everyone else, that the white had to go. But now thinking about it Im wondering if you just need to put some sort of shield on the bottom side of the bulb so that the white doesn't show on the ground at all. I understand that as the lights blink for the strobe you may not see them as much...but they are still there.

i already am :P


I understand some of u guys (and gals) aren't neon people, its ok...i still love u <3 :D

i think im gonna have to get that video done. Those gaps where the lights hit the ground aren't as noticeable when they strobe.
I'll get the video posted eventually. If anything ill get it done and bump this thread in like 3 weeks =P

i'll do my best to get a bunch of friends in the car and we'll partyboy at a stop light, ill have camera in hand to catch all the action. :P
