Well put, I agree. While I wouldn't do it myself, it is apparent that he did a great job on his project. That's the beauty of this forum, you can see many different things. I actually did the same type of thing to my cars when I was much younger. My tastes have just changed.

Great...you park that thing in Vegas and you'll never find your car...I did the foot wells on mine, but with a DIM reddish glow...I guess if you like it it's ok, still looks way overdone and gaudy....but thats just me!

It does look cool but it's fadish and for younger generations (yes, I'm over 40).

I can see the appeal of it, but yes it does convey ricer among a crowd of domestic guys. Anywho, it looks like a show car attempt, I can think of several things that would make it look like an actual ricer. It's lacking a two foot wing, about 5 more colors added to the paint job, decals out the wazzoo and a ridiculous exhaust.

It's a professionally done job regardless of the opinion on what it conveys. I say it looks good and is NOT ricey, but I wouldn't drive around with like that all the time. It does look like an attention *****.

Use LEDs, Neons are pink and even a $1/4 mill Lambo isn't cool enough to compensate for pink underglow.

I used my camera for the day pics. It wouldn't pick up anything at night so I borrowed a family member's camera for the night shots. It recognized it was low light and since I didn't want flash, it over exposed each shot to get enough light. I'll use a tripod and get better pics tonight.
