Do it. It's perfect for a Scion. Don't let the haters stop you from making your car as dope as possible. It will look JDM if you combine it with herrafrush, at least 5 or 6 stickers, and a couple domokun plushies. Props for keeping the tradition alive bro. Can't wait to see the mad sick pics daaaaaawwwwwwgggg

Guess it all depends on your scene and whose attention you're trying to get. Personally I think it's gone along with all over graphics but if you're looking for something just to turn on at meets then it could be something that draws people in. The only cars around me with it are ricers whose better days have come and gone.

Um, well I thought underglow was really cool when it first came out. Like, I really wanted to put it in my car. 10 years later it's definitely out of style, though.
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.

I think the image a lot of car modders go for nowadays is "racecar, but I don't want people knowing it's a racecar", ie no loud colors, body kits, blingy wheels, etc. As opposed to the early 2000's when customization was more focused on expressing yourself and standing out from the crowd.
I know in Japan, the latter is still very popular. |

Whatever, do what you want, it's your car. But yeah it's pretty out of style. To be fair I think most people thought it was cheesy even when it was in style.
Underglow is like the Hammer-Pants of car aesthetics. |
