i know i sound stupid but i have NO idea were to put the underglow in the front... i looked but it dosnt look like i can do it anywhere, the only thing i can think of is putting a whole new peice of metal, but i really dont want to do that. any help would be awsome, i think its probly an easy solution i just cant get it.


There's a spot on the frame that I used back in the day when I had neons (Flip used the same spot and we both agree it's a good place to have the tube).  If you take off the front bumper, you can see it right in front of your radiator (you'll need to take off the bumper to install the tube anyway).  Then, just trim (or remove entirely) the plastic splash guard, and you'll be fine.  And, as an added bonus, you basically have to try to damage the tube.


(sorry for the unpainted fenders lol)

Okay so I dont think i used that placment, i never took the bumper off, I just loosened it and put the tune ender neath the plastic skirt part of the bumper, it shines great except the ends stick out . I'm hoping that a mugen front lip will solve this viewing problem. but hers a pic of the front.


Then the sides are all set, you have to try to see them to actually find them, heres a pic.



Then there rear isnt as visble as the front, but if your back far enough and low enough you can see the tube, Im hoping a rear lip here will help it too. If not idunno what to do. Heres a pic.

for the front bumper, i actaully mounted it to the front of the actual steel bumper (not the bottom) then just angled the LEDs down. I actually sawed up a chunk of my bumper (its not visible) so that the light would shine through. The sides look good on yours, and then on the back, did you mount it to the bottom of the trunk? Like the lower part that holds your spare tire? That will get it tucked up there good. The way you have the front mounted, the turb is visible, and thats a no-no, you just need to mount it to the front of the bumper, not the bottom. I'll take some pics for you tomorrow if you're lucky

There one in the back is on the spare tires well. I think I understand what your saying nowabout the front one. I'm guna order some lips and if they don't help out I'll switch it up.

And I'm sorry guys about not having night pictures up, I just keep forgetting. I have some from my phone but they are horrible.
