Where did you install them to hide them? I don't have sideskirts, keep in mind. And if you don't like neons, don't reply.

Mine are simply not hidden, they are toward a bar about a foot and half in. The glow is nice but the neons show pretty plainly. I may fabricate a flap to hide them.

you cant hide them on the Celica without sideskirts. I wish you could, but I've installed two sets on 6th gens and there is just no way to have them hidden. The underbody is flush with the bottom of the stock skirt, so additional body is needed. The front and back you can tuck a little.

yep, no place to hide them on the sides w/ no skirts. You could see my old set i had on them from a little distance. Havent put any back on since my skirts though.

Oh well. I'll make something to hide them. I'm creative. Front and back are fine. I am getting Erebuni 404 skirts. Hopefully that will hide them.

Yeah. I can get pics. It was stupid easy. All you need is scissors, 3M double sided tape, and the black plastic peices that the neons got shipped in. Stay tuned I'll get pics when I'm more awake.

the most smarterest neon person I know - I thought of that but I thought the light would have a line cut through it on the ground. Yours still has a nice glow to her. GREAT JOB.

Street Glow Gold series. It's cool, I thought that the flap would cut the neon too, but it didn't, and it still glows hella bright.
