Nothing like putting something on a car that can actually hurt the performance.

Those vents are there for a purpose and its not to put lights in them.

Well, based on the picture, the light looks fairly large (enough to block airflow), and yes, Neon bulbs are VERY GAY!

it doesn't look vary bright to me therefor it wouldn't even be a slightly big bulb. and i agree that neon are GAY, 99% of the time. this in my book is that 1% that you see and say hey you know i never thought of that...that's kinda cool.

On second look, I thought the honeycomb in the grill was the light housing. It looked like it took up most of the vent. I guess not, my bad.

Oh hell no, if I thought the honey comb screen was the light housing I would have told him to get that **** off his car!

I don't usually like the neons under that car, or the wiper nozzle lights because it cheapens the car, and an rx7 is a class above the hondas. however, that light looks nice. not too bright and overdone. I would put an even dimmer bulb in mine that is the same color as the car. thumbs up.

I think it could look cool if it were hooked up to the turn signal.

Sort of looks like stealth jet engine exhaust. Now if you can get it to also shoot flames, you would really have something.

Alright, lets get this straight. This is not ricey. Ricey is someone who does things to their car to make it LOOK fast. All these lights do is give the car a personalized look. Not giving a car a personal touch kinda takes away from the car experience. I really like them.
