Ivory has neon?!?! what???

yup its true, my car glows at night.
For a recent car show i purchased some underglow lights, (multi color...12 colors i believe), along with some Strobes in all four wheel wells, and strobes in the hood vents of my CF hood. I turned the strobes on constant glow so that they would show up well in the time exposure pictures. When i do turn them on, they are usually strobing.

Yes, it is illegal for me to drive with the strobes on, but i can drive around with any color that is not cop related (purple, yellow, green etc.)

I don't usually drive with them on, its usually for a simple..."oh and i also have this on my car" type of situation. You can hate all you want, but i think they are very cool :D

edit: sorry to all you 56k people, im sure your comp just went Kablooeee!

The chassis underglow is well, yeah.

I actually like the lights in the hood vents. Not bad.

The lights in your wheel wells just accentuate how bad you need a drop.

Neons showing through vents looks pretty decent.

Did you replace LED's for instrument cluster? Looks like a brighter blue glow. I would love to do this if possible.
