Really nice body kit.
Get it all cleaned up and re-sprayed.. stick a nice double layer wing on the back and it'll be lush mate!

RE: exterior neons
wow 22 replys and only 1 about neons.LOL
but like he said HIDE THE BULBS. neons break so do led underbodys not as bad but they can still damage easily...
flexstrips FTW http://www.oznium.com/led-flex-strips
my underbody opinion is WHEEL TO WHEEL UNDERBODY GLOW AND NO i repeat NO bulbs/lights visable!!!!!! you ONLY want to see the lights OUTPUT on the ground!
so to hide the lights you need some chaneling to hide them. ive never done a DIY for underbody glow cause lets face it if you cannt figure it out you probably shouldnt do it yourself!

RE: exterior neons
^ wow.. I was wondering when you were going to post in this thread lol
and neons/led's aren't hard.... jack up the car (please use jackstands, too!), figure out where you want each tube (do one at a time, and it's easiest if you have a friend hold up the tube... I've done 5 underlight installs, and two of them I did with absolutely no help.... both times sucked hard)... use self-tapping screws to mount the hangers (and tubes) in place. If you're using a streetglow kit, you really don't need to use as many of the hangers as they tell you to.. 3-4 for each side tube and 2-3 for the front/rears work fine. Anyway, run all the wires to a transformer... run the negative wire from the transformer to a ground and the positive to a switch and from the switch to a fused source or the battery (if you choose the battery, please use an inline fuse)

RE: exterior neons
its not very hard realy just use some COMMON SENSE and use SHORT self taping screws and keep them AWAY from any gas/brake lines, and electrical wires! the stupidest thing you can do is use some long screws!
but with MOST larger cars with frames you can isntal a whole UB setup with just zipties... BUT these little hondas need some channeling to hide the lights!
fast N furious lighting with the bulbs visable is UGLY AND TACKY AS HELL!!!
