Underglow? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

bdanisi · 01-29-2013, 11:22 PM

I had it on my previous vehicle and personally I think it looks boss and will probably do it to my frs but I was wondering is it like out of style? I feel like I hardly ever see or hear about it anymore

Like almost everything else, it's personal taste. Do what makes you happiest with your car, you're the one driving it.

Some will hate some won't, I think it looks good sometimes but I don't like all colors. Not sure about on the FR-S, there are some pictures a couple with it in the Japan pictures thread I think.

Whatever you do, turn it off while driving. It is distracting like crazy. Especially when I get a glimpse of a blue light in my mirrors and have a tiny heart-attack.

You mean Neon underglow? Yea, I remember that back in high school in the early 90's. Only ricers use it today.

To each their own. Whatever floats your boat pretty much. I personally do not like them but I don't have anything against them either. Just don't have them on while driving.

To me, underglow is like saying, "hey look at me and my lights" (in Jeremy Clarkson's voice). There are rare occasions where it does look... not rice...but those are few and far between.

If you have underglow on a visually stock car, it screams "I HAD to do something to my car."

I always thought they looked cool as long as viewing the car you cant see the tubes/led's unless you got underneath the car.

As said, some will hate.. some wont. Its kinda something that got shunned pretty hard after the F n F movies. Everything is cool when no one is doing it, then once everyone does it.. the luster wears off.

I agree with the others man, do what tickles your fancy. Keep it classy, and post pics!

I dunno, I'm kind of against the underglow lights because it just seems like rice to me. That being said I am intrigued about this and want to see it.

I dont think it would look that bad, but i wouldnt do it.
And i would probably use the LED under glow instead of neon.

no no no no. especially if you live here in socal. i could kinda understand if you did that somewhere like the midwest or mexico where they are like ten years behind the curve but not here.

the thing that confuses me is that it isnt even a trend that is emulating a perfromance upgrade. i get the gross/heavy carbon fiber or stupid vents and huge spoilers but what is the point of this?
