Thanks for viewing and comments welcome....please dont call it rice and what not...we know this this was one of the first cars me and my friend worked on and were very proud of ourselfs and the work we have done with not doing this kind of stuff very long...We did everything on this car except for the paint...so you can tell we had it underconstruction for a couple of months not being able to work on it everyday... you can view more pics at www.RMLDesigns.com under the portfolio(mostly progress pics)

Thanks Again

It looks nice. Not my style, but it looks clean. Blue is my favorite color

edit: why are there so many switches? Is every neon on its own?

It doesn't look ricey to me ... my only suggestion would be to mount the front inside neon lights UNDER the dash panel, so none of the direct light is visible, I guess it's the same mentality as mounting the under car lights so that you can't see them either.

There is like 15 neons in this civic 6 switches they are

1. Washer Nozzles 2

2.Front under dash 2

3.Under front seats 2

4.Across rear windows on either side 2

5. Trunk Neons 5

6. Underbody kit 4

:naughty: :naughty: :screwy:

And for the other guy....i suggested to him many of times to mount them under the dash...just never got around to remounting them....

very clean install, it looks good.

i dont have much experience with this, and i have a question. i was thinking of adding a cooling fan to my amp box on the plexiglass like you have. however i havent installed the plexiglass or anything, and i was wondering if you can just cut it and drill the holes or do you have to worry about it cracking or anything?

The plexi is quite flexable but when you do cut it put masking tape over the plexi to prevent it from scratching or anything...if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Very very nice! Except for Pyramid... sorry.

I agree, blue is the best neon colour, when mounting mine I made sure to mount them under the dash so you can't see the actual neon, doesn't that blind you while driving?

I love the switches with the blue piece behind them... and the more switches the better! Makes you feel like you're in an airplane.

Very Clean. Good job on the install. I'm not a big fan of neon's, but they do look good.

that helps alot, thanks. and i was also wondering, i have a smiliar trunk to the civic here, and how exactly did you go about getting around the two bars that support the trunk? and also doesnt this prevent you from easily doing changes and all to your system? it seems like im always adding stuff to my system, so maybe ill have to hold off on this for a little while until i can get everything together

On the parts that i need to get behind often i used velcro on the wood...to hold it in....this way if a tail light or something with the amp goes wrong its easy to get to....about the latches i just cut the top peice of wood the size untill it cleared the truck arm.
