Underglow allways = rice?

I have a Cobalt SS/SC in silver. My rims are the stock polished ones(the better stock ones). I am ordering a projector kit for my headlights, and planning on putting nightshade on everything in the back. Probably gonna take off my front plate and put it in my window in case I get pulled over/ put it away when I know theres no cops around. I have the highrise spoiler (considering going wingless), I'm just saying all this beacuse I want to give a good idea of the look I'm trying for. I want a little something else and my friend suggested maybe blue underglow and possibly some blue led's in my door-light and in the footwells. I told him that'd probably look too rice, I just want to get someone else's opinion before I dismiss it completly. I personally think it'd look ok, I'd just be a little self-concious of people thinking its too rice. Which is where your opinions come in, feel free to add any comment or opinion you want, if you dont think I should do it, what else would look good? I'm open to suggestions, thanks.

*edit* forgot to mention 15% tint on the back and quarters

I dont wanna do footwells but doors would match well, I just mean replacing the bulb in the factory light in the door that turns on only in the door when its open with an led, not a blue one, just white light with a bluish tint similar to the color of light that a HID gives off.

I have mixed opinion on these.. I don't know if it's just the cars they are usually on are rice, or these make them rice. I had white underglow on my red 2.2 when I had it, and i actually liked it.

Is it coincidence that there was an LED glowkit advertisement on the bottom when I opened this thread lol

If done correctly it looks good.

and namedgobalt... no. If you look at the bottom of pages that talk as specific about something like this, they use key words to pull appropriate ads

I'm not a massive fan of the under-glows, but if you like it go for it. I mean, a lot of people don't like neons on the inside of their cars... personally i love them.

I think you black cobalt would look deadly with a dead under glow... I personally think underglow is kinda cool. Just DO NOT have you bulbs showing otherwise it looks foolish.

i cant tell u if it is rice or not

i will say this though. I wouldnt get them because they scream alot of attention (and lambos dont?) unless you go to shows like me and turn them on then. I wouldnt drive down the road with them on.

i agree... dont be stupid and drive with them on...

I have a shop who used to sponsor my old civic and they did it for free cuz i had spent so much money before on my civic... I spent about 10 grand on this car after i got it for a grad gift



It was a kit that retailed at 299.99.... Go to sportcompactonly.com they have them

I don't know about cops around the OP's area, but in my area if i ever see a car with under glows they are always in front of a cop car on the side of the road.

lol, yeah the door thing was the sleep talkin,lol. I been pretty busy lately. But yeah If I got underglow I wouldnt turn it on while driving. Well I shouldnt say never, I could see myself doing it a time or 2 at some point but thats not the idea. It'd mainly be to just add a little bit of flash when I'm parked occasinally if the time/place suits it. Like maybe at a meet, or something, still on the fence about it. One thing I'm sure of is my projectors and hids are being ordered tomorrow, should be in week after next and getting installed before I go on leave 2 weeks from tomorrow. My 6.5" dvd deck is getting put in sometime next week when the wiring harness comes in. I feel like I need soemthing else though,lol. Think nightshades will look good on the tailights, markers and breaklights? I want to lower my car but my driveway is ****, my front lip allready scrapes when I pull in. Gonna have to fix that before I lower it, maybe this fall...

Except I'm getting projectors for the front, and still have the high-rise spoiler and am not de-badged. Also, I dont have yellow'ish fog light like yours. I'm thinking about going wingless though, unsure. I'm also reminded of the random palm sized dent behind the driver side door I notice on my car about a month ago. Not scratched at all so I'm probably just gonna get one of those suction cup dent puller kits at canadian tire. Definatly like the nightshades on the read though, your look is very similar to what I'm going for. BTW with nightshades do you take the lights off and do the inside, or just tape around the edges to protect the paint and spray the outside? I'm sure it'll say on the bottle but I midas well ask while I'm allready posting. Plus to say mine is different that yours in another way, I have the gmpp exaust, and you have the megan racing one. I'm also thinking about debadging the cobalt part and just leaving the SS and the supercharged badges, unsure on that one aswell. Still considering underglow but the more I think about it the more rice it sounds, but I dunno, I still think it would look pretty good in the right time/place.

Do I really need to take them off to do the outside? couldnt I take and cover my paint? if not I can take them off, I was just wondering if it'd save me the trouble of taking all of them off.
