I noticed on the Neonspeed website that you had a sig with pics of your car, and inside you have 10" or 12" neon bulbs in your feetwells. I have a 10" and a 12" for left and right, and I was wondering where to mount them cause on the driver side its nice and open but there isnt much to put them on, and on the passenger there is that big black box. So if you could give me input or possibly even pics that would be awesome. I already know how to wire them and such so thats not a problem. Thanks.

No probs... The ones under the dash are actually a 25" tube on the driver-side and a 20" on the passenger-side, cause I couldnt get a 25" to fit. Anyways, yea that big black box is part of your A/C and is a big pain in the @$$ for installing neons. Anyways, I simply placed the tube all the way flush up against that black box and wedged in the ends of the tube there. I also zip-tied the tube where-ever I could find, but I have had this set up for a very long time so I dont quite remember where exactly I zip-tied them to (I think somewhere behind the center console on the one end).

Anyways, the main thing you have to worry about is your passenger's kicking the damn tube and breaking it. Just always tell your passenger's there is a tube there and not to kick it. Thankfully, I haven't had anyone break mine yet :) .

^^When person is sitting down in seat or looking down at interior, the tube cannot be seen at all.

I got it all put in and it looks awesome...I hooked up the positive switch wire to the CD Remote and got them all grounded and stuff. Found the 2 grounds that were right behind the CD player and used one of them. I can see my passenger side bulb from the back seat but thats no biggy. Thanks again though...it looks cool!

Yea, it's not perfect... but it works good. I've never had anyone actually notice the tube on mine without actually bending down to look for it.

Glad to hear you got it all in... what color did you go with on yours? pics?

I will get pics soon, but I went with red cause its all accenting my car color. I have my vents painted black to go with my trim and stripes too...so it all works out good.
