Neon Dreams -- Commy's n Neons

[Jesterarts]

Hey people...
Figured i would start this thread to spark some discussion as there is alot of people who have different views on this...

Commodores with neons, can they look good?
I think yes

This is my baby, tell me what u think..

 

[McBiggles]

Maybe, but not green. I'd have gone with blue if anything.

 

[Shounak]

I had blue. I took em off cuz they weren't my style and I kept getting pulled over..

Your setup is actually illegal, because the source of the globe can be seen and can be said to "dazzle" other drivers. Neon setups are only legal (in Victoria) if only the glow from the neons can be seen.

Sides are ok, but cops would have a field day with the front..

Although if you only do it to show off when no cops are around it should be ok because they arent illegal to HAVE, just to USE. Off road use is legal and thats what you can say its for.

I'm not a fan of them on any car TBH, although they don't look any worse on a Commodore than they do on other cars.

I thought that you could not use them whilst the vehicle is on motion or running. Wiring it so it doesnt work when ignition is on would be the only good weay of having outside ones that are legal. Also hiding them behind bumpers or skirts are good ... its good to see the glow but not the tube ...

 

[Jesterarts]

Yeah i know, im gonna fabricate a overtop cover for the front one...
Don't have time atm though...
I went with green caus i got green calipers and discs so it about made sense.
pls i've seen so many other cars with blue n red ones so i figured to cause some controvesy and go green... Plus green parkers r the only ones that are legal because they are not emergency colors (so the copper who pulled me over said)


Legality stuff:
in vic, as shounak said they are legal so long as u can't see the source of the glow (the neon tube itself) but only the glow...
