Default Underglow

Does anyone have underglow? (pic please)

Do you suggest it, how much did it cost, and where did you get it from?

Neon or LED?

thanks

Look, I don't want you be discouraged because of my opinion since it's your car, but I think it looks awful on a car as classy as a Corvette. Underglow belongs on Hondas and Mazdas.

Underglow is pretty much the calling card of a die-hard Fast & Furious fan.

Please think this one through completely before doing it.

Here you go. This is what Corvettes looks like with underglow:








As you can see, underglow only makes Corvettes look like imports and classless garbage.

I wouldn't do it to my car, but then again it is your car. Do what "you" like. I do like the front fender vents on some Vettes with the neon in them however.

I suggest that if you do put on the underglow kit buy two of them for a more uniform look. I have installed them on several cars and the customers that I installed them on were much happier with 2 kits (8 tubes).

Go online and buy them it will be much cheaper.

Go for it man! It's your car do as you please. I wouldn't do it to mine.

Use LEDs if you do.

LED is the only thing that will fit. Neon tubes suck overall:

Here's some earlier shots of mine:
