I think if your car has the looks for it...like a tasteful body kit, graphics and what not that it would fit in...but I know for a fact that people on this board don't think a mustang should look like that. I've seen very very very few mustangs pull off the "import" look and just end up looking stupid, but if you have good styling and taste that it would be just finishing touch.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Now if we saw the front side...it might be different

I'm kinda torn on this. I've seen some with the undercar lighting and it really wasn't that bad. It matched the theme of the car so it worked. But on the interior, as long as it isn't like The Price Is Right, it'd be ok. I do want a lightning rod inside my speaker box I'll be building and maybe one under the dash but that'd be it.

I'm not a huge fan of interior neons...

There's such a fine line for a mustang to do this kind of thing. For one thing many mustang owners frown on this and automatically label them ricers...but if you do it right it would look really good and for the most part VERY unique becuase many mustang owners stick with many of the same body kits...Saleen, WingsWest, Cervinis, etc.

But you have to be able to do it just right, you know?

I won't lie, I grew up playing the need for speed games on xbox. When I was like 13, I wanted an eclipse for a first car. I out grew that, but I always thought neon was pretty cool, on other peoples cars. A kid down the street has a silver '02 mustang with blue neon under the dash and under the backseat. He had it wired so it was turned on and off with the fog light button. The wires were all hidden under the carpet, and you couldn't tell he had them unless they were on. That was pretty sweet. My friend has red ones in his ranger. The ones from meijer that plug into a cigarette lighter. It looked like the outside of that house that always over decorates for christmas, cords all over the place.

I suscribe to Modified Magazine...no shame here
But I've never seen neons on any of those cars and those are some serious vehicle...with body kits, graphics, the whole nine.

I'm just not a big fan of neon at any level, but that's just my preference. You'll never see spinners and lambo doors on my car either.....

No spinners for sure...that's reserved for the Cadillacs and big SUVs. Lambo doors are alright but not for me...either
