as a neon veteran i'd like to add my 2 cents here.

this was many years ago and it was during the height of the neon craze. i thought it was cool (i was pretty young too) and slapped on some 15 feet of blue neons on my car for the princely sum of 12000 rupees. according to s*n l*nka that was the most amount of neons they fitted to a single car back then, which is something to be proud of, if you are the kind of person who goes mad over neons. anyway it was fun to watching people breaking their necks trying to bend down and figure out what the hell the cars floating on. but then it attracted the wrong sort of attention as well. I usually get some peace and quiet at night. but whenever i switched on the neons (yes, i was smart enough to install a switch) everything from tuk tuks to trucks were racing me. not to mention the cops. who always found it the best thing to point their radar at. or just randomly stop me and give me boll*cks. and when i switched it off for a moment of peace i would wish that i had it switched on, mostly cos that would have made the girl i just drove past look at me (and possibly wonder how short i am in the trouser department, which didnt quite occur to me then). then there was the pain of keeping them safe. neons give the best effect when they are around 5 inches off the ground. too high and it will look too dim. too low and it wont light up an area wide enough. mine were just 4" off the ground and i would wet myself everytime i approached a small unevenness on the road a little too fast. i've lost a total of 13 feet of neons during those tiny "calamities". finally i grew up and stopped switching them on, and of course replacing them. hope you guys learnt something from my experience. if you didn't here's the bottom line. don't do it!

thanks alot mate....whoa 12k on lights?????sweet//!!!!

since im not buying but im making my own noen,,,i would surely be conserned about the things and guide lines you shared with us....

it takes a big man to admit to all that!

ditto that! if it was me, even when faced with solid evidence, i would deny it

Guys, you might wanna remember that there is a proposed law that says no car modifications allowed and you need permission from some official j***a$$ to do it. Not in effect, AFIAK, but worth keeping in mind. Under the hood mods might be harder to catch, but neons are easy targets.

Also heard that there is a law to be passed which will not allow condemned vehicles from running on the roads ?

Which is a good thing I guess, but this may only apply to Insured vehicles , which does not make any sense ....

it depends on my future rides color...

underglow-most probably blue or green....

interior-blue or red

INTERIOR........NEONS or LEDS?????????????

i dont think its a good choice mate..i had some bad experiences cuz of that thing and big lcd screens on my dash board...cuz itz really distracting urself...and pretty uncomfortable

so go for underglows...which are flashing for bass bumps

No Offense for any Neon Fans, but i still remeber one of my good friend was using this Neons couple of years ago in his car. all my friends were asking "Machang umba Saivar kadayak dammada car eka yata?" cos he used Green colored neons all around his car ( green color is Common for those saivar kade tube lights).

even i got the same sh*t from my loud mouthed friends. at the end of the day what matters is your individuality and what you believe in. I would still light them up when i'm feeling crazy enough. its the practicality and some social issues thats holding me back

agree with jadey here.. u would like it from time to time... but the loud mouth friends will defa open thier mouths....
