Now you jus opened a can of worms! You now doubled your detailing time! LOL Now the underside will have to be just as clean as the top! LOL

Should look sick though!

his body kit should be able to hide the tubes fairly well. with the LED kits i think you can fade from blue to white on a timer, might look cool

I think neon would be cool if you cant actually see the tube. Who cares if its $99. What about all these $75 pop chargers and stuff?

underbody

Hey I got underbody led's on my stock G coupe and I don't think it looks that bad, and its only ricey if you drive with them on. I usually only turn them on with I'm parked and just wanna show them off. Here's a good pic to show what it looks like. I decided to go for led's just cuz I know that they last longer and you can get nice little patterns with them unlike neon. But I've seen my friends cars with neon and although they are a little brighter, but you can barely notice the difference. The tubes are also really easy to hide on the G's so that shouldn't pose much of a problem.

The kit that I'm using in that picture is the Streetglow Multi Color LED Kit. I couldn't decide on a color so I just went multicolor and its great.

I'm in the process of installing a Streetglow (single color) LED kit ...

Biggest benefit of LED over neon is that the LEDS will last a long time and like what the others have said, LED's can be controlled. My install is about 75% finished, trickiest part was finding areas to fish the cables back into the car.

Good luck!

BTW how is your audio install going? I just started on the audio upgrade on the G ... it has been pretty tiring, I give you props on the work that you have done on your car!
