Under car lighting effects anyone?

I figure that it’s too low and they’d get scraped off 😂

I know you're not in California but here they can't be operated while the car is on the roadway, only while operated in parking lots or at car shows.

I see cars with it on the road here in Indiana all the time. I cant see why it would be unsafe. Too bad it is not legal in California.

They sell thin flexible LED strips on Ebay enough to do the whole perimeter of a car for less than $50.00 including power receiver, wiring and remote control to change the colors.

According to my search the "Underglow " ground effects lighting is legal in Indiana, long as it isn't blinking or the color Red. I was thinking of doing my Speedster in a neon blue glow.

Here are some pics of the lighting I was thinking of. Part of me thinks it looks good and the other is saying CORNY !!!!

U going ricer on us

I wonder if it's legal in Illinois?  

Might be just the thing for Stan's Roadster......   

While at first I cringed at the thought of this, as I think about it more it grows on me.

No, I would never put them on Pearl.........Maybe.

Maybe we have a new trend here.  Underglow lights for all our Speedsters.  Think of the night time parade we could have at Carlisle...

I see this a lot in the motorcycle and tuner world. To be honest, I don't think it would look "right" on a Speedster unless it was a true Outlaw build/lowered and/or a Super Widebody.

I agree, not the look for most Speedsters. Mine is closer to an Outlaw look and could look good with a nice blue glow on the ground around it.

 

It would instantly become 'acceptable' if someone ever discovered it had been an obscure, but original, factory option.

I can just hear it:

"I've just located a super-rare Drauz unter-beleuchting kit for my Pre-A Coupe and - you won't believe this - Benoit has the right brackets for it."

 

I’m on the fence with under carriage lighting on a Speedster.  I think it looks good in the right setting: parked.  Mostly because the owner could enjoy it also, something you can’t quite do from behind the wheel.

I bought a custom chopper many many years ago when they were all the rage.  It had neon lights under the fenders and above the engine.  It looked fantastic at night, especially when rolling down the road, but it seemed to put quite a drain on the MC battery.

In the end I scrapped them. Partly due to the battery drain, but mostly because it wasn’t really my style.

And we could get matching "ring lights" to wrap around your head too and people would know who owns what. Think about the safety benefits...if one guy is too loaded to find his own car, others could point him in the right direction just by the matching lights around his brain and the underside of his car.  

I'm pretty open to almost any idea, but this one completely turns me off. 

Fine on an East LA lowrider or a Japanese tuner, but on a Speedster.......a step too far.

Of course, just my opinion and of no value to anyone but me.

ferdinand is rolling over in his grave right now...

Not quite yet.

He will, though, when the Rap Music starts.

Yeah, undercarriage lighting is huge with the tuner crowd, where it's harder to stand out among so many cars that all kind of look the same, but I don't know about on a Speedster. Remember, a big part of the Speedster's appeal is it's iconic lines and clean design. I agree with @David Stroud IM Roadster D- you've already got a really cool car which draws all kinds of attention wherever you go; there's no need to stoop to such a cheezy trick. 

Just because you can doesn't always mean you should...

PS- @Jimmy V.- you know the part of you that keeps telling you it's corny? Listen to it.

Ok, now you guys are really funny!

To each is own....but with that,

Please @Jimmy V., let the madness end at neon and restrain yourself from adding a huge spoiler and wheels cambered out that they look like someone stepped on your car.

And no bright orange or green wheels with rubber that's barely wide enough for the rims...
