I wanted to get your guys opinions on ebay parts
I've bought the neon kit before and was very happy with what I got.

I think I've made my decision on my parts. Priorities are in order:

Flush all liquids, deep cleaning, full tune up
CS catback exhaust
Intake (might have sponsor for that)
Tint
Strut bars (front + rear)
Blue underbody LED lighting


Thanks guys for all the advise. Ebay stuff must suck after all the reviews i heard.

BTW, my friend is gonna powdercoat anything I can pull off the engine

Oh, one more thing, one of my friends gave me an S5 intake manifold. What do I need to install that? Some kinda spacer? I tried looking on the forums but couldn't find anything.

Underbody lighting is illegal to have on when driving, but parking lots are all game. I was thinking of getting headers instead, but if I've already got the exhaust, it might be too loud. I could get pulled over for that too. But then again, the headers would give my N/A just that little extra umph!

Why do you only have the sides lit? Do you have the fronts?
That's the first underbody lighting I've seen on an FC

I bought them when I was in highschool (6 yrs ago) only the sides survived. lol

The brand is street glow gold series. I heard most other tube brands only last a couple years and they don't like cold weather. LEDs are the way to go though

It's a pretty involved swap, some physical modifications (ie grinding metal) are required to make it fit, then you need to figure out a way to make the VDI work.

Underbody neon lights is wayyy wayy to ricey.

By the way, nice find on those projector h4 housings! I didn't know they were made. I'm gonna have to dig deep to find some not sold by cheap ebay.

I wish I made that much for tax returns .... Last year I got $1k, and I was hoping on that much again this year to get some new stance coilovers. Cheque comes in ..... $25 I was like yea okay that kinda sucks. My mom worked it out to be $800 when she sent them but she noticed I would only get that if I had a spouse, which I don't gladly. According to the government $13/hr is making too much money. ********!!

Header, not headers

Also I heard PaceSetter sucks, you would be much better off buying a used Racing Beat header instead

I should put neons on my car and record an 11sec pass.

People only hate it because it was on fast and furious and can be considered flashy. If neon/under car lighting was new at SEMA this year (or made by Greddy or Apexi) you guys would have stashes in your closet.

Grow brains. Build parts. Enjoy your cars.

"Running lights" or Underglow has been in style since the early 50's. I don't see why people hate them so much.
