Anyone Think Neon Is "Ricey"?
I was considering putting some neon on my car, but I was afraid that the mass consensus was that it would be considered ricey...Im gonna do it either way cause its my car not yours, but I was just wondering. I plan on putting two 9" rods under the dash over the foot areas, two 9" rods in the amp compartment for my custom box, LED (neon look-alike) shifter ****, and street glow, all in blue. Maybe even a few other various neon accents, but I fell that it will all be in good taste and "accent" the car...but thats just IMO. Anyone else like neon?

im with you, i would save for intake, exhaust, and other go fast stuff. i'd rather be in a fast pos than a slow cool-looking thing. but your question, i personally thing it would be ricey

Yeah, shutup kid.
I think neons look sweet. If you want to go flashey like that, it'd be cool to get some led valve caps too. I have some brignt orange ones, they only turn on when your wheels are spinning and only when its dark. They are only $40 for 4 at www.overboost.com and i think that includes shipping.

if you like it go for it. doesnt matter what anyone else has said. i personally dont like it, and besides that my suspension is so harsh and i go over so many potholes and rough rouds i bet id shatter em or put a rock through one. plus i dont want any extra attention, they already hear me comin well ahead of time. lets just say i dont ring too many doorbells anymore when im giving people rides... felix is right though imo, cause if youre on most sport bikes, you cant paint it with clouds and rainbows and unicorns and nobody can tell you crap cause its plenty fast. wait til you get it runnin good enough to hold its own, then do whatever you want

Don't over do it and neon is a good thing.
It IS your car, after all...before you do that, though, FINISH YOUR FREAKIN' SUB-BOX PROJECT FIRST!!!. There's nothing worse than a guy having a dozen projects always starting a new one and never finishing any of them! STAY FOCUSED AND KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE!! That is all...

I know a guy with a 10 inch under the dash by the feet and he's putting some under the seats. It actually is alright, but anything above the waist I dont much like.

Ok...well that was fairly clear on the reaction 
. Also, I will be finishing my engine first, then the sub box, then the neon...Yes, I am still gonna do it, but I may not go with the street glow, but the 9" under the dash and the 9" in the amp box will be cool, maybe not the shifter either...

PS - I know what you mean about the hundreds of projects at once
. I started pulling my engine today 
... But it turns out that im not gonna be able to use my block and tackle the way I wanted to. So I guess im gonna have to rent an engine hoist...

Dress up ain't speed. But its fun. I have thought about adding neon in red to my strut braces in the rear and connecting them to the brake lights. Without a third brake light SUV's tend to crawl up your rectum. Same for the license plate frames. They really add to your visibility in the rear. Unfortunately, more police visible as well.

i like neons also if there done right,
but i wouldnt put them on the inside of my rex,
the outside bottom i would,
but i would also spend the money on go fast parts first,
which is why i dont own any and i get them extremely cheap.
will some day though.

i guess i'll allow you to place them under the dash, seats and in the box but absolutely nothing else. NO neon shifter and especially nothing exterior.

Personaly I think all the ugly-*** neoen in NASTY RICEY ****... people around where I live are particularly fond of the nasty light-up winshield sprayers... I BEG you not to ugly up a beautiful FB with neon...
That said, if you're really sure you want it, do it. It may make me want to hurl, but it's your car, so you should do what you think is right. If neon is the thing for you, then go ahead, just realize that most of the rest of us consider it extremly ugly...

Really over-the-top body kits, blue headlights, neon, big-assed spoilers
Things like that...
