Neon or LED underglow kit?

hey all, Im on a $300 budget and want undercar lighting. Would it be better to buy an LED kit or a gold series kit? Any kit will come from streetglow. Thanx for the input

dont do it. If you want lights, go with interior lighting instead.

+1 underglow can look pretty tacky sometimes but interior lightin is nice...

I know the underbody of the accords is flush without a body kit,  Can't I just mount the lights towards the center of the vehicle on all sides? That way you have to be bending down to see tubes. I thought of an idea, if the tubes show, why not just custom build a shield to cover the edge so it's out of site? maybe steel or foil or something. I think a green glow would look very cool. I can see why some kits could look tacky though. 

neons below any car is tacky and has rice all over it. Now if it was for a show car, nah, still the same thing.

i still say no to outside neon.  didnt you pose this question a couple weeks ago?

Hey, if that's your thing, go for it. But yeah, IMHO, its waaaayyy too ricey. Whenever we see underbodys, we can't help but laugh at the car.

well if you REALLY want to do it someone on here did say yes you can mount the neons slightly toward the center of the car to hide the tubes better. honestly id probably get led's theyre more durable than neons but i think neons are brighter im not sure

i have led rods under the car. there great and alot cheaper. I will be the first to admit they look so ricy, but i never turn them on. Only when im impressing my lady friends. I also have interior lights and those are awsome, i always have those on. I got my lights from http://www.ledunderbody.com/ i got the 7 color kit. i actually mounted the rods 1) in the front bumper so it shines out of the grille 2&3) to the side skirts 4) in the rear bumper
I also have a few videos of how the rods look phasing through the colors

I'm getting the two-bar set for my interior from there. Seems like a great price... happy so far Fenix? Is the inline fuse already in the setup and does the controller work well?
 
Thanks!

i was actually thinkin about gettin interior led from there

ok, well, I guess I might go with inside interior neon instead of outside. I need a new cell phone anyway. Im getting master brake cylinder replaced tommorrow, if I have any money left over from phone, I guess i'll do some engine dress up or something. thanx for the help

Im very happy with my interior set-up, i would recomend any/everyone to get one, here are a few pics of my setup:

the first one is of one of the exterior rods that shines through the grille. The second is through the rear windshield so you can see the front and back light. the third and fourth are the interior and exterior rods on either side of the car. And the last is from the driver seat.
 
here is another set of pics from the instal of the rods:

the first one here is how i mounted the interior rods using zip ties (i love those things) in the back seat. the second and third is where i mounted the controler module in the glove. The way i set it up is that the box always has power and ive set it up to a toggle switch and i have it fade through the seven colors.

how is your interior lights wired up? Did you just tap into the parking lights circut or have a seperate switch somewhere? 

he tapped it into a continuous power source and hooked it up to a switch

looks nice btw can the passengers in the rear see the tubes? or is it hidden? it looks like it can be easily kicked right there at least its not neon tubes they would be goners

 I'm sold. All of your drill bits scare me a lil bit, I was hoping not to have to cut up any interior plastic, but I'll manage.
 
Thanks for the pics!

the rear passangers cannot see the tubes. I very rarely have someone in the backseat, but when i do have someone back there i tell them that if they kick the rod ill F'ing kill them. And yes it is going to a continuous power source, i ran a wire from the engine through the firewall into the center console. I have a box of switches there, ill take pics soon
