    Best places to put neon tubes? (cathodes in my case)

    I just got my cathodes and have not a clue of where I should put them. Any ideas?

    Oh yea I have some 12" and some 4". I'm think about putting the 4" by my shift boot (I bought new ones and they didn't fit around that rectangle piece that the stock boot fit on, so there's some empty room around my stick) and have the lights glowing from there. Besides that I don't really know where else to put the others. I also bought 2 12" uv lights...

    Believe me I don't find anything more annoying than ricers, BUT I do like neon lights. I have a 1989 chevy s-10 also, and the dashboard lights went off after I was fucking with some of the electrical stuff and I had to put some lights in for the meanwhile. I had these blue LED's put in so I could see the speedometer and stuff and I just liked the way it looked. I'm not planning on ricing the shit out of my car, but the lights are a must =)

    Neons are rice, unless you have a show car. I am pretty sure people on this forum can't really help you out on where to put them because i don't know of anyone on here who has them.

    Its your car. If you want lights on it, its you business.
    I had some when I was a kid. Rember though, theres a fine line between colorful and tacky.

    I have one 3'' (I think) tube in each front footwell under the dash. Then I have I think one 10'' tube under the rear seats. I don't care if people outside of the car see them, the lights are there cause they change up the interior and make it look different. I'm not gonna add any more though cause as blizzard said there is a fine line that I don't want to cross.

    Thanks CAH. The muffler is from pep boys and a shop installed it for like $100 cause they had to bend some custom pipe or whatever excuse they gave me . I got tired of seeing coffee cans on the backs of cars .

    Yeah, unless you're putting them in the trash, I don't see the point.

    dang give the poor guy a break. As for possible locations i say in the center under the dash, dirrectly behind the radio. I had a green 12" tube underneath there to compliment the green gauge lighting and i found it quite eye pleasing. When i would turn it on at night there would be a green glow coming from beneath the center of tha dash and it looked nice, it illuminated the interior and floor quite hansomly. keep in mind you did not see the glowing green tube at all only the glow.
    No more 3G but that doesn't mean i cant look at yours...

    That's the same effect that I was going for. There's really nothing rice about it as long as you don't get carried away.

    Well thanks for the positive feedback. Whether or not it falls into the rice "taboo" doesn't bother me much. I fancy red enough to want to have the color glow inside my car, and it's as simple as that. I figure as long as I'm not driving down the street with my huge custom muffler welded on sounding like a giant blender going 10mph then I'm good.
