Would this look good or just be plain stupid.

Well, I'm going to put a set of 2 12in JL W1's in my car, now that's not what i'm here about though. I had a 15in long blue cathode light in my computer that was sound reactive and beat to the bass. I was thinking about wiring it up in my car to the subs in the back. Then I have 2 12in blue cathodes that I was going to put facing the floorboards under the dash to shine at my feet.
Thoughts?

I think that would look like shit. Tacky & unnecessary. If you want a rolling boom box with flashing lights and all, buy a Honda.

strange131 · 08-12-2012, 04:42 PM

just my 2 cents.. i have it under my dash aiming at floor boards and i like it. mines red and have a contoller handy to go from music beat to steady. if i can get a vid or pic posted i will.

Well the ones in the floorboard wouldn't be sound reactive. They'd just be there. The one in the back however, i'd wire it to be sound reactive but also have a switch to it in case I was tired of it haha.

I mean, my "theme" for the inside will be black and blue. I'm not looking for anything to be showy, I just want it to look sick and have some fun.

bjmauck · 08-12-2012, 04:51 PM

I knew this would be a n/a car. Lol

Me too! Lol. OP do whatever you want it's your car. I seen a couple cars with lights under the dash. They look pretty cool, but I just wouldn't like it in my car. As stated before "to each its own"

If you want it, then go for it. What us members think shouldn't really matter, because as you can read, most disagree with it. I had green lights in my 1st DSM, which was a n/a 2g talon. I ended up outgrowing that idea and took them all out. So what I guess I'm trying to say, is do it it you're happy with it. Don't not do it based off what everyone else thinks.

Trolling are we..lol

OP - Do as you will, it's your car. Doesnt matter if it's a "4G63" dsm or not, it's your preference!

jpmxrider489 · 08-12-2012, 05:34 PM

I'm pushing 400whp on my tsi. And I do have neons and that makes my car molested?

Black Widow97 · 08-12-2012, 05:42 PM

I think this odea belongs in the year 2000. I think you should keep it clean n simple.

Certainly not unmolested.

You don't have to get all poopy faced about it. Don't ask for opinions if you can't handle both ends of the scale.

jpmxrider489 · 08-12-2012, 09:32 PM

I can handle opinons. Its not about what other people think, its about what is your preference. I happen to like the black and blue theme with a clean panda outside.

Batman272 · 08-12-2012, 10:00 PM

I had glows in an old mustang of mine that were behind the box cut out that was the port for the box and said ford on it and I liked it but its really all what your into

slayer450 · 08-12-2012, 10:08 PM

I put blue lights in mine, I like them. I personally wouldn't go with tubes though. I wired in some led strips. Plenty brite. I just need to do my dash lights blue.

Looks nice, exactly what i'm wanting haha. These are what I have.

untouchablecc · 08-12-2012, 10:13 PM

I have seen 350z,supras,hondas,wrxs,1920s roadsters,mustangs,camaros,harleys,rockets. With neon lights under the dash or engine or under the car. I wont lie I rocked em in my 1g back in the day under the dash. The dsm crowd is more conservative as a whole. Most like a clean stock body with rims and a slight drop. Its just the nature of the community. You have to drive it everyday not us so if you like it go for it brother.

Cool, stick then up there and see if you like it. Wont take but 30 min. Once you get used to them it's weird getting into a vehicle without em.

bjmauck · 08-13-2012, 09:23 AM

Neon lights were the thing in the 90's and now on rice.

Haha, exactly!

I was just gonna say pretty much this exact same thing... My friends and I had these type of things done when we were 10 years younger, But that was also when we thought an exhaust doubled the horsepower of a car.

Id leave it alone, your about a decade off with the "cool" factor.

I know neons were a thing of the past, why do you think I went led.

born2tune · 08-13-2012, 09:51 AM

anything that is not simple and ordinary such as flashy or bling accessories do not last long. Its almost like an impulse install or in the moment hype decision. You will enjoy it the first 15 minutes then it will become hated and annoying for the next 2 years until you finally rip it off.

10 times out of 10, if you dont install it, you wont regret it.
