Interior neons... yay or gay?

I kinda want to put some neons in the front where your feet go... I want to put blue ones cause my clock and radio etc are all changed to blue. What are your guys opinions of this? rice or nice?

Edit: what size tube would be good? I dont want a ton of light pretty much just a glow coming from beneath...

Cool

Actually go for it. i just put in six 9" nean blue tubes in my maxima. I put two under the front part of the dash where your feet are. I put another two under the front part of the front seats for the feet and under the seat and then I put two more under the back part of the front seats to light up the rear foot area. It actually looks really good at night. Not to Ricey at all and you really can't see it from the outside which makes it even better. I will be taking pictures sometime this week so you can see how it looks.

Not a problem at all. If you put them in the right places it will just light up the floor area and look really good. I didn't want it to light up the whole interior so I placed them in specific locations so the floor is the only thing lit up. As far aqs the drivers and passengers seat, theres plastic right there you can either velcro it too or actually drill two little holes and zip tie them. I velcroed them so if they blow I can just get another and replace them. Same in the back, I cut little holes in the material that is under the seat and zip tied them under there so you can't see them. As far as under the Dash, I also zip tied them under neath so you couldn't see them and it actually looks really good.

Maybe he'll open up a strip club in his Max? It's doable...Or maybe he'll use the Max as a VIP lounge to a strip club he already owns.

Depends on what you use them for. If you're going to " show " your Max, it might be ok.......I just couldnt see myself driving around with that bright a light all night. You would at least have to get a switch to turn them on and off.......wouldnt it want it on all the time.

and that still doesnt make sense to me....
why you have to have a ricey car with neon to do well at a show. yeah cause that means you have a nice car. or that you put effort into it. it just shows that you can wire neon lights. my 8 year old son could do that.
they should change the name from "car show" to "riced out car show"

I have fun with mine. Who cares what people think?
I like the ambient look instead of the obvious look.
A switch is a requirement

I like the ambient look a lot better too, I dont want to see the tube at all just a sort of faint like glow coming from underneath.

For those of you in support of Neon Lights, please post your age. This way, people can know to flame you for being gay/rice or leave you alone (hoping that you will grow to realize that neon is not "cool").

I am 25. Flame away!
I like mine, some (maybe most) people don't. You can't see them from the outside, so who cares?
Peace
