I suppose it could work on a built-up show car, but I would strongly advise against it on a mostly-stock FR-S. If you have the wheels, lowered, kit, wing/spoiler, modded headlights and taillights and customized interior, then I could see it adding to the mix if you're parking it at a show. Otherwise, probably not a good idea if you don't want someone dropping Uncle Ben's references when they see your car.

Puddle lights on the other hand, now those might be fashionable with the whole VIP crowd.

How ridiculous is the VIP crowd. They buy an entry level luxury car, spend money to make it look like a high end luxury car but it ends up costing about the same and its still a entry level luxury car with aftermarket mods, the queen would not be caught dead in such thing.


BTW OP how old are you?

The entire front bumper has to have a glow under it. You can't just have those little areas glowing and call it proper. The light area will get even smaller if you lower the car. (I'm 19.)

neon lights on a car is the most ricer thing you could do, i mean everyone has a different taste don't get me wrong but if your going to do that, you might as well put 20'' chrome wheels, a massive body kit, and nos stickers everywhere.

adding weight kinda defeats the purpose, just my 2 cents.

Nothing was cooler back in 1992 when the mini-tuckin' scene was all the rage.

Hate to admit it, but I kinda like the way it looks on a white car.

...Oh the shame

Get ceramic brakes, drive at 100mph, slam on the brakes. Glow without the distractingly visible rice.
