Kerr34 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hey Everyone- Just wondering, i Have a black r43 and was wondering what your thoughts are about purple neons to match... yes my girlfriend has gone ahead and bought the interior ones but they can easily be rplaced. i dont really mind the idea of purple as it will be different, but on the same note i dont want to give the impression that my girlfriend is dolling up my car (i have already had people ask if playboy seat covers are next).. any input is good so please help... if you hav any pics of cars with purple neons that would be great too Cheers Kerr34 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/239576-purple-neons-too-girly/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) If you're modding it to suit YOUR likings, then do it. If you're modding to show off/eye candy for others, probably not so much.

Wogan Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) Mate it's your car so you can do what you like to it, but as you can see from the posts above, the skyline guys n gals aren't much into the whole neon thing.

(If that makes sense) Totally agree. If you want to do it becasue you want to be noticed by others, you will not get a positive response from Police and most people think it's pretty ricer/ugly/fast & furious. Please don't take offense to the replies, think of it as constructive criticism as they are actually giving you good advice.

Pattygtst Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 under dash or floor neons are fine there not really visible from outside and can be handy for lighting purposes. Blue would be better but purple would look fine. Just no under neons and i think your safe. Just make sure the globes are hidden looks tacky when you can see the globes.

R DIRTY 3 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If you want undercar lights, the ones on my car id be happy to sell. They are Varad Brand, they morph through "1000 colours", they have patterns, they hook up to music etc etc etc. They are in a square polycarbonate tube and the LED's they use are different to what you can buy here. (these came out of america and cost $900...or very close to it) If your interested, you can have a look at them one night as they are fitted to my car still. For the right offer, i would be happy to sell them as ive sort of out grown them....having said that, im not an "undercar light hater" lol If interested, let me know.

Mayuri Krab Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) Generally I think blue is the best neon colour, have those on my computer (riced com ftw ), but yeah like what most people have said, not many people are fans of neons & having a neon is like putting up a neon sign saying "come & defect me" to the cops. My mum thinks neons are cool though... she even wanted me to put neons underneath my car.

MattyP Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Before retrim in a Volvo S40 After retrim. Pink neon undercars My former Pulsar's audio install. Products used are from a brand called ICELED. 2.1 million colours, controlled by various controllers, lots of wanky features. Best LED stuff on the market (from the UK). Very expensive though with 1ft LED tubes costing over $100 each, and undercar kits at $1500. As someone said, interior neons or LEDs can enhance the interior look. I liked them for that same reason, and also made taking interior photos of the car much more appealing. You can however go down the wrong path, however done right it can be a winner. As 'for show' and 'showing off' not a good idea...I remember taking the Pulsar to an 'all performance' car cruise a couple years ago, and funny thing is that everyone was standing around looking at the Pulsar, recording clips on their phones etc. No one cared to look at the drift spec, high performance cars as there is nothing to look at when they have their bonnets and doors closed. Times have changed I know, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Pulsar could pull a similar crowd now if the gear was still in there. Do i have lights in my R, no...but would I do it if I had the right opportunity (say if I did the retrim I had planned for the car), yes I would. Plus I'll make sure to have the hp to back up the lights Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/239576-purple-neons-too-girly/#findComment-4187672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
