APC was full of win! good, cheap parts. freakin inexpensive CF spoilers. and Neons are just a visual mod. That ain't rice, man.

Dood- I was looking for some APC stickers, too- but now I think i'm gonna wrap my entire car in that carbon fiber vinyl stuff on ebay and THEN hit it with some blue underglow to match my indiglo monster tach. The aluminum deck plate floor mats will go nice with the mini blue neons under the dash, too.

Does anyone have a turbo hood to swap me for my 'vert aluminum one? Then I could totally put another mini blue neon tube and rig my washer nozzle to spray so it looks like a NAWWS purge.

oh, FAWK! that IS mad-tyte. you got a sick JDM bodykit to hide your neons behind, too?

btw, I may have a couple spare APC decals I can send you. I'll see how many I have left after I get my FC painted and put some on my car


but BACK ON SUBJECT! am I risking destryoing my neons by putting them on a drift car? I only drift on the streets, so I don't have to worry about hitting walls like at a track.

GTFO, troll! It's none of your business if I want neon on my FC. Just say no, then leave, and then try to shave your sphincter.

To answer your question, yes you will have problems, yes they will break. Thats all. They are fragile glass tubes afterall.

dude, there is no shame in driving around with a sick but unpainted bodykit until you have the money for a paintjob. and the kameleon jobs are sick-nasty, bro. Thank God someone else knows how FCs SHOULD be done!

I've had a few friends that ran neons. If you drive normally, with regard to the neons, they can last a while. If your driving like a maniac (drifting) they wont last as long. Way too many factors to give a time based estimate.

yea, but police around here are pretty cool. I got 5% tint, and got pulled over once, and he let me go. and why would I want to drive a Civic? you can't drift a Civic. Drift cars FTW!

I duno, last time I saw neons in person was back in 98, back then they were all glass. Surely your right and their making them out of plastic by now, or at least have an anti-shatter film. Good news for MMsadda.

oh, nice! I'll have to check out autozone. yea, I htink the LED ones are plastic, actually. much better than glass. then I can make them strobe, too. I'm just so used to looking at the **** at Pep Boys, and they don't have plastic neons there.
