not 50 decals saying NOS, etc, then red neons would look great.
im thinking when i go back home to miami, to get some white one's cause i have a champagne colored car....red would just clash...blue would prolly also clash (although im going with the blue interior theme...)
My point exactly. I have the red interior lighting and I think the red neons under the car would finish it off nicely. 
It helps that I have a red car too.

I agree with stolon on this one... also I would only go with white underbodies and the tubes would not be visible and there is no way in hell it would flash with the music... that would just be GHEY

I don't really care what people think about my neons. About 90 percent of the people love them, then 10 percent hate them (e.g. cops & playa haters). Everyone has their own opinions on vehicles and I don't really care what you think.

I feel that neon can be OK if tastefully done on a car that is show-car quality. Personally I go for a subdued classy look so I would never put them on a car I own. Also this area (Central CT esp Berlin Turnpike) is full of stupid ricers on cruise night who beg to be busted. I like my SVT to have a low key look as I blow by %90 of the useless ricers with their "bee in coffee can" exhausts, ugly stickers (extra 10 hp), gaudy wings, and of course the high IQs

I think your neons look fine. Lose the windshield washer light emitting diodes though. They detract from an otherwise great look.

I have waser LED's and I think there fine if they are not blue or green.... Red I think would be fine but there illegal. I have white and I love them.. mine are hooked to my blinkers so I am kinda fond of them. White underbodies would look so good to. Skrilla I do like your underbodies there really nice and bring and done in good taste.

I'm a hater because I don't like neons? Interesting concept...
Isn't it playa hata?  Time to listen to some old skool rap, like I do and then you'll see the hata.

done tastefully they look good. tastefully= tubes that aren't visible unless putting your head under the car, not the cheap line, and put on a car that deserves some modding. there is an old celebrity or something here with neons, and half of each 14" stock wheel painted blue (other half is normal steel). it's a POS and a waste of money, glad i don't have to drive it. one of my friend has a car with the cheap and visible tubes, but one day he'll fix it. another friend has a dropped black camaro that looks very nice with the red neons.
