Default underbody neons

Hey everyone. Today I started working on putting underbody neons on a 95 mustang GT and i ran into a little trouble. Has anyone in here installed these before? ID so, how did you do the front so the bulbs dont show. Also, what do you use to drill thrrough the steel reinforcment? Thanks for any input

The old hot-rods get away with you, you should be able to also. As long as you don't have Altezza's <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

Okay, I can see a little show w/the go, BUT let's talk about the "go." What have you done to your car that will enable to you fight off those who will instantly challenge you, because they think you have no clue what to do to a muscle car. I've seen some decent neons, but the ONLY neons I lilke are the ones that match the cars paint job, &amp; are used on Stangs that leave trails of rubber a mile long.</P><edited><editID>mustangforums</editID><editDate>37961.9951851852</editDate></edited>

This is the appearance board too...nothing in his thread was performance orientated..it'll save some bandwidth by simply passing by this thread if it's something you dis-approve of and have no advice to offer. <IMG src=smileys/smiley20.gif border="0"></P>


Don't take it the wrong way. </P>

no wonder stangs don't get all the respect they deserve. you guys are too busy bashing on other stang owners. so what if the guy wants to put neons under his car. personally, i've had a few neon kits...even way before it was in fast n furious. did that make me a ricer? f*ck no! i just wanted to stand out from the crowd. i'm trying to bridge the gap between the traditionalists and gen y. i've got a '96 gt w/ headers, bassani x-pipe w/o cats, and spintech race mufflers. i'm currently working on getting it to breathe better along with a new torque converter, gears, nitrous, and other goodies. i'll be more than capable of taking on the sti or evo. do i hate em? no. i respect them. on the same note, i also have a body kit coming in w/ lambo style doors and yes...altezzas. i'll probably never get respect from either the domestics or imports. so what? y'all are just a bunch of haters. <IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0"></P>


sorry for the novel but this has got to stop. </P>


btw, i stuffed the front tube at the very rear of the front bumper. if you're car's even a bit lowered, you shouldn't be able to see the neon tube.<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

I agree with big, the car is red and the neons are red. Im not goin with "all show and no go" Im going to do a carbon fiber hood and underbody neons. And i dotn care what the world thinks bout carbon fiber, it takes down weight and looks awesome. But im not going to rice it out just neons look cool on the snow. For all the rednecks in here that think the only "apperance" style upgrade we should do is to make my car sound like a damn truck, F*ck off. Ther are plenty of performance that will come when i get a job to afford it. But BACK to the topic, if anyone else has felt the way that i did and put some neons on, Some real advice would be nice. Thanks

mom = African American, &amp; Native American [Blackfoot]</P>


Dad = German, Philipino</P>


Therefore Gixxer MUST BE A REDNECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!</P>


Acutally, more like a mixed blood smart @$$ w/a fast car, &amp; faster bike!!!!!!!!!!!</P>


My current external modifications = Eibach Pro-kit 1.5in drop, UPR SS rear bumper inserts, 15% tint all around.</P>


Soon to have in the garage = Mach 1 chin spoiler, 17in Chrome rims (either Saleen, or a Cobra R of some type).</P>


Truthfully, I thought about those clear taillights for a while until I saw how GAY they looked on my Satin Silver Stang. They might be okay on a red V6, or a Black Stang, because the ride setup might inhance the look w/clear tailights.</P>


As for the neons...I got away from that back in '98 when I graduated from high school. For the money you put into that kit, &amp; tail lights, you could get a lowering kit, &amp; work on some exhaust. But like I said before...your $$$. All the best in whatever you do.</P>
