blue neons

Post by scherry2 »

My son Steve (and Kaye) bought me a set of street glow neons for fathers day. 1 tube was broken when I opened the box, but the other 3 got mounted the last 2 days (because of engine trouble) I think it looks O.K. Kaye just rolls her eyes. (boys and their toys)

Looks great! The blue color adds to the Spiderman theme with your blue painted roof rails too. Now if you could just get Silly String to spew out of the front grilles on command... LOL

How durable are neons? I've never actually seen them besides on the occasional car going by. Will they hold up on a gravel road?

Very nice!Sloth: Yeah, they should hold up okay, depending on where you put them. If you tuck them up well enough, they'll be out of harms way. They're also encased in plexiglass, which adds another layer of protection.

Welcome to the club looks GREAT! What a sweet present! lol. Maybe I should get my dad a set of neons for his ford econoline I would recomend taking the side neons off during the winter. The front and backs are high enough up so that they wont break if you hit a snow rut.Some fool in a camaro I know bought blue ones and left them on in the winter and shattered the two sides going up a driveway and the front and back shattered from ice chunks.As far as LEDs are concerned, alot of people have LEDs around my area and the guy on the street over has this sweet civic (yes that's right I actually said a civic looks sweet (removed)) He's got one of those LED kits that you can change the motion of the lights and colors and stuff...They're pretty awsome looking but, not bright enough to really light up the ground. I like neons better personally because it looks like the car is actually riding on a platform of light whereas the LEDs hardly light up the ground. I'll hav eot see how your LEds turn out to really make up my mind I might like some of those 9" interrior LEDs though, how do I go about ordering them...they don't show pricing on their site.
