i know the underbody kit was like $150 but I dont know how much the 6" tubes were for the interior. One of my friends has a black 2000 G20, and he ordered green tubes, but they accidently sent him blue so he decided to put em on anyway, and they looked real tight so im not worried about them, I just hope the interior is going to be lit up nice with the 4 6" tubes.

from where did you order? at www.streetglow.com, the underbody kit is $249.99. how much did you (or your friend) pay for the interior tubes?

coincidentally, i (will) have a 97 superblack SE also and am looking to throw 4 6-inch neons in the interior also.

thanks, -v-

Under car neons

Have fun with the install. I have the Low Glow Neo-Blue kit. Wasn't hard to install, a few tips if I may:
1)Be very careful not to bend the tubes they will break!
2)Leave a little slack on the wires for when you drive
3)Have all of your tools right there so that its easier while under your car, make sure you have a bunch of Zip Ties
4)Make sure that you seal the crimps in the sleaves with silicone that is supplied.
The kit looks sharp, just make sure you don't have it on when driving that will get you a ticket.
Good luck

How do you take pics of them glowing at night? I have a digicam but cant seem to get it to show up. The flash is too bright and makes the car look like its day time and when I cover the flash its too dark to see anything. I have plenty of neons inside that I would like to post but cant seem to get them to come out right

RICE?????

[QUOTE]Originally posted by ohboiya

You think so.....I thought my car was smooth and subtle. I don't have one of those huge metal wings on my car or graphics all over my paint so why would say it is rice? Yea I have a few sponsor sticker on the car but that's all part of the deal with a sponsorship. You think my car is ricey that just ****es me off, I can't stand ricey little civic so why would I mod my Max to be like them? Our cars are on a totaly different level, more of a sport/luxury car why ruin it with "rice" mods?

If ya want the neons to show and the flash is killing it, cover half the flash with your finger, it should take away just enough to snap a decent pic.

I want to get some underbody neons for my I30. Where can you get them from? How much do they run? What kind of place would install them?

Body kit and dual exhaust

The body kit is made by Razzi, they are supposed to use my car on their site to show the kit. As far as the exhaust it started out costing me $400 but than I failed MD state inspection and it cost another $400 to add a muffler because the old set up was a straight pipe no resonator and no muffler. However now that I added the muffler it has more low end, the back pressure helped out. I also have the Cattman Stainless Y-pipe, when it idles it sounds like a V-8 no angry bumble bee buzzing civic sounds here!

Maxstilln: your ride is bad ***. Havent seen you car around yet which is probably a good thing because Im sure if I had, Id already have purchased that underbody kit - looks sweet.

Im putting some street glow neons under my seats this weekend and I was wondering if you have any tips as far as installation goes. Im just trying to figure out mostly where I should get the power from, be-it from the fuse box or somewhere else.

I ran a power wire from the battery into the car for power, only because I also share that with my strobes and inverter. If you are going to just run 1 or 2 neons you can grab power from the lighter, however make sure that you fuse it. Also keep in mind that if you tap it there it will only work when the ignition is on. If you want the option to have them on with out the keys you can tap the fuse box but you need to find the constant 12volts, not swithced or else your in the same boat as before with needing the keys.
