underglows makes baby jeses cry. you will also get pulled over for being a distraction on the road. if the cop is really a dick, he can give you a ticket for impersonating an emergency vehicle which really isnt too great of a ticket to have.
lol

So yeah, go for it. You only waste 100 bucks on the kit, an hour to install and wire, 600 dollars in tickets, and raise your insurance 200 bucks every 6 months. And thats only the first time you get caught...

Cops WILL pull you over is they see it on. Now, as far as i know if the car is not in traffic and parked, that you can flip em on. so if you like to hang with the ricers up at loaf and jug you are probably ok hittin them up then, but once yer on the road turn em off.

honestly, they aint worth the price, hassle of install, or any of that when you factor in that you cant drive with em on.

if you like them then go for it, it is your car and dont let other people tell you what to do with it. However, they are illegal for street use.

Now keep in mind, the people on this board are muscle car fans, not tricked out light up fart cannon ricer rats.

I advise checking out an import site, they wwill probably know more about neons than the people here, but then instead of getting flamed for the neons, yer gonna get flamed for the mustang.

kinda a lose lose situation. lol


ehhh hemmmmmm

HAHA, I don't think it gets any more true than that.

Determined, didn't you make a post exactly like this already?

And you also wanted to put 20" wheels on your car, right?

Please man, don't do anything that you will certaintely regret when the time comes that you have to sell your car.

Riced out mustangs = retardation
