yeah i was gonna say don't get underglow on bottom. no light would go through! the interior neons are cool. was it necessary to lower it even further?!

there is enough space to have 2 LED's go to each amp in the rear to make them glow.. make the front seats glow, the rear seats.. wheel wells.. headlights.. there is alot of extra space in this car.. the color is going to stay the same.. just going to be pretty much a light show.. and I wish I could cut the body kit off and lower it more.. just for the show! probably going to add a airbag airtank and a compressor too!

what is your power source, can you take a pic with the car apart to see your setup>?<

the power sorce is just a 9v batterie. then its ran into your basic toggle switch.. I will get pictures when I am finished lighting it up.. when the other LED's come in the mail.. Sorry.. it doesnt look the best right now. I have to go to radioshack and get a controll board

ohh cool but were do you put the 9volt i always attempt to do this but there is never enough room

whee is the battery though?

the batterie fits under the hood.. and the engine plate goes over it so you cant see it.

you dont always have to run the LED's off of 9v batteries... you can go to a store like "batteries plus" or radio shack..and ask them if they have a smaller batterie that would be almost the same as a 9v, becasue with the resistors it brings the power down anyways so you could just run them off of a AA.

@scarface gotcha. since your doing all of this can you make a how to neon thread? i'm sure alot of people would appreciate it including myself.
