Left over neon tube
 
Hey guys, I just finished wiring up my car with blue neon tubes and LED's. I guess i got one neon tube too many and now i can't think of anywhere to stick it, It's a 3 inch tube btw, and could use a little help.

So far I have neon's under the dash, under the back seats, under the arm rest under the CD face (above the cup holder in that little resecessed area)... then I also had LED's in all 4 cup holders... oh an i also replaced my map lights with blue bulbs :P

Any suggestions would be a great help.

It still amazes me that it's 2008 and people are still putting neons on cars. . . .

Hockeyman 06-30-2008 02:55 PM

That's like letting an infant jam a fork into a light socket. Of course the infant doesn't know it's wrong, but you don't sit by and let them do it.

Exactly, you don't like what i'm doing to my car leave me be... I'm sure if i wanted to i could find something on your car that I dont like (example: Racing stripes Hockeyman).

So no, useful, suggestions?

Trust me, the shitty up briging i had living in a car till i was 7 was enough to prove to me that they where'nt the best parents.

BoostingSS 06-30-2008 03:13 PM

Or maybe in the Trash where neon belongs...

Ah, i get it. You're used to having a light switch in a car so you can see where your naked sister is at.

nevermind, proceed then.

ohhh sick burn to my non existent sister! Man, if she was real, I bet she'd be pissed.

Anyway, thanks for the snide comments and total lack of help, that was awesome. It really reminded me why I hate so called "Car" people.

If you're set on mounting it inside the car, how about on top of the steering column directly in front of the gauges? That would light your gauges up pretty good. Or, if you feel like mounting it somewhere other than the interior, behind the front grille would give you a nice blue glow in there at night.

To the others who seem to have nothing productive to say, piss off. The guy asks for suggestions and all you people have to say is this bullshit? If you don't like it then go pester somebody else and leave the thread to those who actually have something useful to say. It's jerkoffs like you that give car enthusiasts a bad name.

BitchyTheDwarf 06-30-2008 06:09 PM

hmmm... maybe keep it for a spare in case one breaks or mount it in the trunk? Sounds like you've got the interior covered pretty well. Looks good IMO (saw pic in gallery).

Silv3r 06-30-2008 06:20 PM

Yea I'd slap it on the steering column in front of the rpm/speed gauges, there's a nice little spot where it won't be seen and illuminates em well.

:lol::lol: i'm not the one putting super cool lights all over my car, i couldn't handle the 100awhp they add, each.

Here we go again.

If you can't sell it just put it up somewhere. Do not just throw it somewhere because its extra that'll mess up the theme you are trying to go for. So just sell it or keep it put up somewhere.

By the way racing stripes are the same as neons = show

Hockeyman 06-30-2008 06:42 PM

sure, both are show, but we aren't in the 90's anymore.

Blackout06LS 06-30-2008 06:43 PM

Okay if that is the case why do you have your racing stripes still on?

Hockeyman 06-30-2008 06:47 PM

I knew you were going to say that...have you not noticed more and more people getting them lately? It's beginning to be a new trend again. It's not like neons that were popular due to the f&f movies.

:lol:

Neons are still there man. We have just moved up in class that is all. I still see the same amount of neoned cars out there.

Hockeyman 06-30-2008 06:50 PM

You are right, a lot of people still have neons...but look at the cars that have them, they are usually junk.

Blackout06LS 06-30-2008 06:52 PM

Not really. So Cobalts are junk?

Well either way both are in the same category, and both have been around forever.

Hockeyman 06-30-2008 06:54 PM

Well since i consider neons rice, and you are saying they are in the same category, my stripes are rice? I would say corn maybe, but not rice.

i see more neons (the car) driving around with racing stripes then i do any other vehicle. and they are usually junk. i have never seen another cobalt with them and dont see any increase in their usage since 1995.
