People with Underglows, I need some help.

exactly to what did u guys mount the bulbs too? i have an idea for the rear one, which pretty much seems to be the ideal place in the back, i have an idea to put the front one but would require me to peel off the black underbody stuff, but i have no idea where to put the side bulbs, i cant seem to find a nice spot, i had a spot but its about 10inches in from the edge of the side, and i was thinking it might be too far in, id gladly take suggestions from those of u that installed them sucessfully. thanks. and sorry about the runon sentence.

I have another question....hope you don't mind SkylineGTR.

But I was wondering....when installing the neon underbody kit
do you guys have it so that you can actually see the neon tubes or do you guys prefer to hide the tubes so that you could only see the light.

Personally, I would have it installed so that the neon tubes themselves are not visible but the lights are.

For those that have a neon underbody kit do your tubes show or does just the light show?

thanks

i dont have underbody, yet...but its coming, in blacklight...when i do mine, im gonna try hiding em cuz seeing the bulbs is just ghetto...none of the pieces besides the rear should pose a problem though...the sides will be placed inside of side skirts, front on the lip, but the stillen rear valence has the holes/openings so might b a lil hard to hide...all good thoughhhhh...

alright i actually took the bulb under the car.....and it seems theres only 1 place to put them on the sides....cuz the other spot i was looking at was too far in....and when i put the bulbs under it...it was way too low...so gotta put em near teh edge of teh side. its slightly visible on teh sides without sideskirts but if u got sideskirts it shouldnt be a problem at all.

when installing your underbody lights.. YOU MUST mount it on metal... you cannot mount it on the plexiglass of the body.

yea i finished installing them, neo blue street glow gold series, broke 1 drill bit, which is now somewhere in my chassis, got like 13947883948310 mosquito bites, scraped my knees on the concrete in like 8 places, every finger tip is sore, but when everything was done....i couldnt have been happier. as for mounting it....i put everything about 6-7 inches from the edge of the side, and the front and back on the metal frame bars going across in front and back, everything worked out ok, although it took a lot longer than i expected, all in all i like it!! hehe.

yea and i made sure i was drilling through metal all the time so everythign worked.
