Namitey

I have an underbody and haven't brok'n anything wheel'n. Now I don't have a huge truck and play on rocks all day, but I have gotten plenty of use of my skidplates with no damage. I've even submerged them in water.

Just depends on where you mount them. If I break one I'd have to damage something else.
 






Too Ricey for me, But it's you ride.
 






Why would you change the badging???
 






Yeah, too ricey.
 






i have to defend myself a bit. I think if you don't go overboard and install it cleanly it looks lnice.

In mine I have 8 blacklight tubes under my seats which gives off a nice glow on the floorboard. The tubes aren't really noticable and the color isn't crazy. Also I have 6 blue tubes that are mostly hidden, except for the two on the tailgate that go witht the music. This accents the sound.

I do have some stobes so maybe I'm going a little ricey, but 'come on people. It's a ford that will soon be lifted, not a Honda or something else that's lowered. Also, I don't have a frigg'n coffee can for a tail pipe.
 






I think to many neons is tacky especially window washer lights. I have two neons inside my truck so I can actually see at night. I have 5% tint in all the windows and I can't see anything at night. Do what you want and screw everybody else.
 






yeah, ive had the neon in the interior for awhile. if i dont turn it on at night it seems like somthign is wrong. i have to have it on now
 






save up and get some...i just installed mine like a week or two ago and i love em. the glow is great! i have the lowglow kit...i think liteglow makes em
 






Like some other have said it's up to you and only you, i say if you want em get em. But, my opinion is that it is extremely easy to go overboard. I don't think they look extremely bad inside (of course done discretely). But on the outside, even though i'm probably tainted by the idiototic looking cars around here can look kinda cheesy, for example neon's around the liscence plate I hate. It up to you but don't let them be garish.

CP :D
 






after i paint my truck i plan on matchign the paint with neons.

truck will be blue up front and white in the back and so will the neons- i'll only using them for show definitely. also i have some blue neon in the interior, but it is always behind tinted plexiglass when i use it.
 












same here, I think they are alright as long as they are white.
When I had my X I thought about hooking them into my interior lights or puddle lights so they come on when I unlock my doors with my remote .
 






I voted no. You see enough neon on all the rice burners out there. Why would you want to put that stuf on the coolest looking SUV out there?
 






Only looks good when placed under the seats in the interior. Exterior neons are for imports.
 












I found a cool place for it...

Lights up the engine bay pretty well.
 






what about Plasmaglow

I hear all the time about LiteGlow and StreetGlow but what about PlasmaGlow. Their neon comes with a better warranty, stronger, installation is easier, and the tubes are longer to start out with. I'm not talking about the whole length of the tube but the visable light from the tube.
Heck, why not go with PlasmaGlow's 7 Color LEDs Fusion Underbody Kit. Why buy one color in neon when you can get 7 colors in LEDs. Unlike LiteGlow's 100+ LED Underbody kit, which really sucks, PlasmaGlow has over 500 LEDs on theirs. Also the kit has 9 motion modes. Now yeah the price on PlasmaGlow's site sells the 7 Color LED Underbody kit for $399.99 with free shipping, but dealers sell them cheaper. Now they have 7 color wheel well kits. If you want to see what I'm taking about goto the site. PlasmaGlow
 






I`m with the ricey crowd, I don`t get the neon phenomenon, inside it can be cool, but those under the car setups seem kind of cheezy, I think I liked it for about five seconds the first time I saw it....
Maybe I`m too old!
