Finally finished the Underglow kit

[NY2002ElantraGT]

wow i cant believe how much i've been slacking. i got this kit in the summer, installed the tubes in september, extended the rear tube wire in october, last week i finished up the outside wireing, ran the main contol wire through the wheelwell (i had a stripped lug so it took a while to get off). today i took the time to mount the control box and wire the positive and negative wires. I mounted the control box in the change compartment to the left of the steering wheel (after using a dremel to cut out the back so it fit). now its nice and hidden. the kit looks great, there are like 2 LED's already out which kinda sucks, but it still looks good. Here are pics with better ones and a video to show the motion to come soon.

these were all taken with my camera phone so sorry the quality on the video is bad.

Looks great! I was thinking of doing an underglow kit too but I can't decide what color to go with. How many tubes did your kit come with and does it come with all the hardware needed for the install?

[NY2002ElantraGT]

yea i got an LED kit. 4 tubes, hardware, everything needed. what color is your car? try to match it or you can always go white!

[Doohickie]

Underglow is soooooo 2005 ;)

Hey I thought u couldn't have red or blue lights on a car?

[Doohickie]

That's parking lot bling, baby. "For offroad use only."

[NY2002ElantraGT]

yea its just for show, i go to alot of car shows and meets so its just a crowd pleaser

[DEMPZ]

Mine is white and I'm keeping the green lights inside so maybe I'll go with green! Then again, I've seen yellow and at night it looks real good. Blue looks good too! So many choices!!

[Slapshotman7]

niice, how mcuch did you apy for it?

[NY2002ElantraGT]

$70 shipped on Ebay, Neon kits are cheaper, but i went with LED for the motion.

whats the matter? you dont like to have a little rice with your main course? :abovelol:

[evan938]

neons/LEDs is one of the gayest things you can do to a car, even if it is there for show

I'm not a fan or Neon, but to each their own.

[NY2002ElantraGT]

Sorry to disappoint you evan. but yamaha is right, so each his own. i plan on putting a red neon tube in the grille, and i already have one in my trunk.

[CornbreadXD]

i think they look cool and one in the grill would be a nice look

[Ugzz]

if you get a chance take some pics with a real camera, since i just put mine on not long ago i am really interested in your final result, but with those pics i cant really tell very well. i like the read though, i just want to see it a little clearer!

[SuperGLS]

Although I'm not a neon fan it looks good. Driving around with them on is poop, but for shows and maybe just showing off I like it. I also like the red on red.
