Anyone considering Neon?

I have often wondered how underglow would look on the new camaro. Personally, I like the idea but I dont want to go so far as to be ricy. sp?

Here are my ideas:
Silver w/ Blue or purple (Primary Idea)
Black w/ Blue

Different States have different laws regarding neon. Here in CA there are two rules:

1. The light must be diffused, meaning the bulbs cannot be directly seen.
2. You cannot show red to the front.

It is even legal to have them on while driving.

Neons.... really?

That's just a universal thing you don't do to a Camaro...

could I sound like a d*ck anymore? j/k

Personally I think Neon underglows = Ricer. I'd advise against it... But you never know...

As long as you don't halfa$$ it or claim that those lights gave you an extra 20 horsepower, i wont consider it a ricer. Don't go too crazy with it or i will definitly consider it ricey, keep it clean and simple!

I want to see photoshops of this before I make any judgments. If you decide to do this, make sure no bulbs are visible.

LMAO!

Any way I think for people to just go right off and say its ricey for the camaro to have underglow is a little dumb. I mean come on it comes stock with ambient lights that will resemble neon lights on the interior with the RS package. I think neon lights can look good on all newer high end performance cars. Especially one that has this unique look. I mean picture the inferno orange with the orange interior lighting and some orange underglow. You know thats gonna look sexy as hell at night time.

i wouldn't do it on the outside but if done tastefully maybe under the hood the glow onto the engine or in the trunk to show maybe a sub enclosure. Or maybe on the interior but not on the exterior unless you build it into a show car

I'm thinking about it as well. Depends on the color scheme. They don't offer my convertible scheme so I'm up in the air about colors.
