YEP those flex strips RULE!!!!!!!
completly waterproof.... buy to YOUR LENGTH and best of all they are completly flexable so you can run them the contor of your underbody and squize them in the smallest cracks to hide them very easily!

heres my front and rear flexstrips. 6ft strips.







JUST BE SURE TO HIDE THE LIGHTS! you wanna see the GLOW output on the ground NOT the actual leds or neon tubes!
my side lights on my civic are cold cathodes BUT they are all either busted or fried from water geting into thier transformers.

 

so how many feet or inches do you think i would need, and is their anything else i would need to buy for it. i dont want to spend a butt load of money on it, at the most 150 $.

 

well for 150bucks your not gonna get WHEEL TO WHEEL glow.....

wheel to wheel looks the best in my opinion..... BUT if your starting out.... you can always just keep extending them.... best part about the flexstrips is they have ALL different size lengths... so you buy the length that you want or can afford

ive got 6 footer strips front and rear and for my sides that i plan on doing with flexstrips i think ive figured in a total of 8-9ft of flexstrips on each side....

just work bit by bit if ya have to....
OR if ya just want a good glue try out some shorter strips...

 

actually if you get the neon tubes, or led tubes which i like much better, then Best Buy will install them. I am installer there and i think we charge like 120 or somethin close to that. pretty overpriced if you ask me. cuz you will be better off doing it yourself, unless you know nothing about car electronics. then you might have someone else do it. but im sure you can find cheaper than big places like best buy or circuit city.

 

WOW 120bucks..... OUCH....
and thats just BASIC instal.....

 

ya pretty ridiculous, i know, but then it wouldn't be best buy if we didn't overcharge. the problem is that we don't do custom work so we have to make up for that by charging more for everything else.

 

ya one reason ive only had best buy instal 1 thing.LOL
my first alarm system on my 66impala... cheap instal wires hanging, and they didnt even get my front parking lights to work with the alarm just the taillights.LOL

and even tho they SAID it ws a free instal i still had to pay 75bucks for the instal! TOTAL BS... when i got home and seen all that they did which was NOT MUCH! its a 66impala i could wire that thing in 1/2hour TOPS.... look them 4hours..
that right thier is the whole reason i starting instaling my own stuff!!!!!! for paying that much money for crappy instals and nothing special..... i looked at it like WTF i could do that so easily!!!!!
and well that was 11years ago.LOL now i can do the realy cool alarm systems and full stereos and anything else i wanna try

if anything bestbuy helped me WANT TO INSTAL MY OWN STUFF.LMFAO

 

ya honsestly best buy's install bays are kinda one of those hit or miss things. at my store, i have the least amount of experience at 1 1/2 years and im about to get myMECP advanced certification. the other two guys have about 3 and 4 years experience and are really good, and the last damage claim we have had was about 6 months ago by a guy who only worked in the bay for about a month. so we have a pretty good bay. and all that bull**** with your impala would have never happened at my bay.

but at the same time, the next clostest store to me only has one good installer, and the rest suck, so i would never take my car to that install bay.

 

how much ya get paid thier an hour? what you start out with also?
maybe i need a new job

i love systems.... and if i could get into a instal bay that pays good id be all over that...

 

my start pay in the bay was 10.65as a certified installer, but here when i get my advanced it will go up 2 or 3 dollars. its not a ton, but for being 18 when i got the job, that was pretty good, and plus its a really good environment to work in and i have a lot of fun.

i know of places that pay better, like i worked at Fry's for about a month making 12.65, but it was horribly run and the bay was in terrible shape, so i went back to best buy, cuz it was way worth the 2 dollar pay cut.
