Im will be 22 on July 7. When I was in high school, that was the "IN" thing. I have blue light on my Blue '69. I received different comments about them, but they looked pretty nice. The coolest thing was at the drag strip when doing a burnout before you race you can turn them on and your surrounded in blue light. The back light eventuly went out, then the transformer, then it because to much of a hassle and never have fixed them or bought new ones.
There cool for a while, then you kinda get bored with them.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Sorry... gotta go with Derrik on this one. I'd have to say though that they MIGHT (very small might) work on a super clean, show only, custom, pro-street, never driven car that is slammed to the ground and parks on mirrors. They're only good for show, not street driven Camaros.
Let the hondas have the useless gadgets.

If you do put those on I gaurantee you that you will get stopped by the police, especially in San Bernardino. I agree with what the others are saying. Leave those neon lights to the guys who do those lame front wheel burnouts.

....sorry i had to.
leave that to the ricers, spend your money on something that will let you enjoy the car more and wont get you tickets. I've never seen anyone get a ticket for a CD player (i know you'll enjoy that).

people get tickets all the time for CD players- but they usually also have 500 pounds of extra stereo crap in the trunk, and don't have enough respect for other people's taste in music to turn it the hell down when in a residential area... coincidentally (or not), a lot of these people also have the glowing neon stuff on their car, too.. funny how that works...

I have to jump in here and disagree. I say put whatever you think looks good on your car. If you think the street glow kits look good, put one on. I personally think that they look awesome when installed in a clean and professional manner, and that applies to any car from Hondas to Chevys. I agree that will run into problems with the long arm of the law though. Maybe something you should reserve for cruise nights or car shows.
Funny that you mention that derrik. I have 2 10" neon tubes in my truck to accent my amp rack and bandpass box setup. I have had nothing but comliments on the way it looks. Not everyone with a nice stereo and some neon lights are punks. Just like in everything else, a few bad seeds ruin the whole group.

Going with Dans 67 on this one. Neon is not anything I would want but I agree with the do what you want thing. If you think it's cheezy that's fine. I have seen alot of other things cheezier than neon. First thing that comes to mind is a person saying their Camaro is an original small block SS with 327 badges. Sorry but I would rather see neon glowing through a thick cloud of tire smoke on a Friday night......I think that would look kinda cool no matter what it was on.

Thanks for the backup. I have seen some tri-5's and other show cars with a neon grill kit, and it looks sweet driving down the road. In fact, Kevin Costner and Kurt Russel drive a '57 Caddy in "3000 Miles to Graceland" that has a neon light setup in the front grill. It looks bad ***.

I think it would look great. i never thought about putting it in the grill, just thought about putting them under the car. The neon burnouts sound cool. I guess while we are on the ricer thing, wonder why I/we have not seen a first gen with some integra clear euro lights fabed in the tail pan. The lights are almost rectangle shaped and have no bends at the corners so they would fit flush in the tail pan. Those or some supra lights.
