I am also a member over at Ls1tech as well. I found a couple pictures from a couple T/A owners from the site that posted pictures of their neon lighted hoods. Im not a fan.

along with the streetglow thread this kind of fits in, I dunno, I kind of think it looks cool.

**nhra-trans-am** · 08-24-2006, 08:44 AM

I think it looks pretty cool

**Devylyst** · 08-27-2006, 09:19 AM

just as long as it isn't accompanied by neon under the car, in the car, attached to the driver of the car etc...

The bottom car with the red in the intake is mine. That's all the exterior neon I have, and it's off 99.9% of the time. I don't dig the underbody stuff...I do, however also have it in my footwells, and under my front seats to shine in the back...

**$TransAm$** · 08-27-2006, 04:05 PM

seriously i would not do that it looks just a lil too cheap to me

**tonyjnjz** · 08-27-2006, 05:31 PM

i think it looks sick bombhunter...cost?? labor? wireing?

**x-40oz-x** · 08-27-2006, 05:36 PM

The red one looks good, the blue one looks cheap.

**98LSGUN** · 08-27-2006, 06:03 PM

In the night it looks like a fire breathing dragon

**Hurley711** · 08-27-2006, 06:17 PM

Odd because I do like it, but I still wouldn't do it for fear of being labeled a ricer..

**Mr. Luos** · 08-27-2006, 07:55 PM

No freaking way.

**oneBADDz** · 08-27-2006, 07:57 PM

I like it, but ricers have ruined the ability to get away with it

**Terrance** · 08-27-2006, 08:15 PM

i like it

I did it similar to the way in the link supplied above. I had the neon, so all I really bought was the aluminum tape and the switch. I tapped into the hot wire of the stereo, ran a ground from the switch, (the switch has a little red LED) and the neon to the switch. I then disconnected the cigarette lighter and put the switch in there. No holes to drill inside the car. I did have to drill tiny holes to secure the neon in place below the intake...Took all of maybe an hour or so...
Don't remember how much the neon was (I got it while I was in Japan), I think the tape was $8 or so, and the switch was probably about $3...

I am the owner of the car with the blue neon. Mine is usually off too (got busted by a grumpy local cop once), but I think if you saw it in person you'd think it looks pretty cool. I did not go the cheapo route and when you see it at night you can't see the bulbs or LEDs or some other cheap installations i've seen around (I used the aluminum reflective tape method as well).
Like it or hate it, it doesnt matter to me. I like it, and it does attract some attention (as if the LM exhaust isnt enough ;-) )
No there is no undercar neon, and none anywhere else on the car, and never ever will be. Aside from the 'side vent turn signal lights' everything else on the car is function only. (LM2 exhaust, TSP airlid, KONI shocks, Canton accusump, fan switch, SFCs, and Kumho 710s to RACE ON!)
