How do your feel about vehicles with exterior Neon Lighting?

I voted for “great if you can afford it”. It depends on what type of vehicle you’re talking about. Personally I like to see stock classic cars, and since none of them had neon lighting I wouldn’t like to see it on them. I think it would add a little flavor and variety to the other drab new cars today though
So, when today’s cars become classics should the lighting be removed?

Most of the cars I see don’t have a clue!!! icon_rolleyes.gif
The neon tubes aren’t supposed to be seen. Only the
effects should be seen. There should be a heavy glow
underneath the car, as if the car was floating.I’ve only seen a few cars that were set up correctly and the
effect was incredible.Side note……… I’ve seen neon on the front bumpers, in the windshield
and in the rear window. UGLY!!! icon_sad.gifQuote:So, when today’s cars become classics should the lighting be removed?I’m not sure about that one, I guess it depends on who you talk to. I personally consider “classic cars” to be 1975 and earlier – some exceptions though. The reason I like these cars is because of the unique styling and designs put into them. I’m not sure that I would ever regard modern vehicles in the same way because IMO they lack the styling that made classic cars great and unique!
It might look good on a leadsled.
For example, a chopped Merc, candyapple purple.
Lakepipes on the side with neon behind them.If the neon was subtle it might look cool.
Side note…… Over the weekend a chopped 50’s car went passed
my house with a candy paint job that STUNK!!!It was all blotchy. YUK.

They can sure do some cool things with it. I personally wouldn’t have it on my car, but if someone likes it, great.
Just say no to under body neons…
Some streetrods it can be worked in with special paint skemes but on straight stock classics its a big no no icon_cheesygrin.gif
