I think I know.
They won't look good if your Corvette is yellow.
Or blue.
Or red.
Or white.
Or black.
Or green.
Or turquoise.
Or charcoal.
If your Corvette is any other color, it might look okay.

As bad as it may sound...I have been thinking about placing neon lights under my Vette and have them on only when the interior lights are activated.
I don't want them for crusing around town. But would like them to be on when I set the alarm or have the doors opened.

IMHO it's called customizing. I'm all for it so long as the tubes do not show. I customize my cars just so I don't have the same car (vette or otherwise) that everybody else has.

If you like it, go for it and enjoy it!! :yesnod:

As I have mentioned before, like the others above, do what you want, not what everyone else tells you to. Everyone has their own opinion about different issues, that's what makes us all unique.

I've gotten a lot of compliments on the Greenwood kit. I've also gotten a lot of negative criticism about it as well. Doesn't bother me one bit because every night when I go to sleep I am happy with everything I've done for my Vette.

If neon is what you want, then just do it! :thumbs:

I have never been a fan of radical interior or exterior mods. And personally I don't like neon on anything except my beer signs.

That being said, do what you want. You own it, you drive it, you should at least like it. If neon floats your boat, do it to it.

My 87 used to have purple pinstripes along the sides and hood, so purple neon looked great under the white body,,,but that was 1994 or so,,,kinda dated now adays. Anyway, they only lasted two years cause some shop busted them on the lift and I never got them repaired. Whatever you do, make sure they are up inside the frame so the light tubes themselves can not be seen,,,,you only want the light to show.
Word to the wise, the wires may interfere with you ABS as they did on mine. It would cause a failure, so I would be driving with regular brakes when the neons were on.

They'll only look good if they manage to make the damn thing go back in time like in back to the future.

Otherwise.... :U
