interior neon placement
Monday, June 12, 2006 6:55 AM
Hey guys haven't posted in a while, but I need some opinions and some help. Here's my current setup. Two 12" neons in the trunk, two 12" under the dash on either side, and a 6" in the top vent. Well I recently came across two 15" tubes and 5 feet of that string neon stuff (which I don't even know if I'll use, some pics would be nice). I want your opinions on placement of the new tubes, especially for the engine bay. That's where I'm lacking for night shows. But I want to make sure their all hidden still, I can't stand visible tubes. Appreciate the help guys. I know 6 tubes, string, and underglow sounds like excess, but I got everything on sale and chicks dig it. And when it comes down to it, isn't that what matters, haha.

You could rig the neons under that engine cover that covers the top of the headlights & radiator? That would cast a glow over the engine, but the tubes would still be hidden. As for the neon string stuff, you could do something strange with it. You could line the paneling in the backseat if that makes any sense? Kinda hard to explain?

I'd always thought that running the string either along the dash where the dash pad meets the hard plastic part would be neat. If that doesn't make sense, I can dig up a picture to show you what I mean.

Yeah, I like this idea. I'll go check it out real quick, you think one 15" will do the trick?

I was thinkin about that as well, but do you think it would look tacky, this is why I may not use the light. What do you guys think?

I say tubes are great, individual LEDs awesome - neon string crosses some kind of line that is better uncrossed.

But that's just my .02 - some of you guys may like the string and thats cool too.

One 15 should work better, less wiring running under there, and it'd cast more glow too. Just make sure its attached better due to more weight.
