I did the same thing in my car, but I did two 9" led neons under each seat so that the floor in font is illuminated in blue and the rear floor is illuminated blue also... It looks so good at night, but they are bright enough that they light up the floor in the day time also...

I was thinking about doing neons in my car, but interior was never one of my major concerns... until now. I might even paint the vents and stuff white. What you guys think?

In my opinion having mis-matching color in the interior is dumb, not to mention ricey as hell.

When I get to doing my interior, I'm going ALL black. :D

Just my $.02

as of right now i have two purple neons under the front seats. I plan on changing those over to blue sometime so itll match the interior, then maybe put the purple ones in the grill or something.

I have a couple neons, I don't think they are stupid unless you reall over do it and even then it's not as bad as having a huge ass wing.

If you do them nicley they arn't ricey, but when you over do it and have all kinds of wires and switches everywhere then it gets corny... Just as long as it matchs, so don't do green if your interior is purple, like mine is blue so I did blue neons...

bloodlust, only do it if ur in terior is one color right now or if it is already black and white. other ull be like bitesize, ull have one phat ride, but the interior jus dosent match, it looks cheap.

Nice job cck2000.

I got dual 10"s and put them far up into the dash so that it glows subtlely. Unfortunately my carpet is brown, so it could be considered ricey, but soon it won't be (besides, I don't care, I only use my neon at night when you can't see the brown).

yeah, i have mine mounted under the seat so you cannot see them while you are in the car, but the light shines nice and bright. Also, i hid all the wires so you cant see them. If you were to look in my car, you wouldnt notice any of the wires, my interior looks stock to the untrained eye, besides the indiglo gauges.

Blue neons looks really good on blue carpet, plus if you have aluminum pedals, the look like there glowing blue when the neons reflect off them... There really a quick easy way to add to your interior...

Jayp6969 what are you using to dye your carpet black? I'm redoing all my dookie brown interior black also. So far I've done both back doors, all the speaker covers the pastic things that cover both front sealbelts and the third brake light. Since my car gold looking or whatever, I panted the trim around the clock gold and honda symbol the steering wheel gold. Black and Gold not bad :D I used Vinyl spray paint and clearcoat. I just gotta find time to do dash board and front doors and that dookie brown carpet. I also wanna get black seats or if cant find any I'll just use seat covers :D
....just my 0.02 cents or should i say 0.50 cent cuz imma P.I.M.P LOL :D

two sticks under the dash is all you need, and maybe one by your subs if you have them...anything more than that = overkill IMO
