So the car is a red s13 as you can see from the pics. It is track only!! Not street legal!! I will be competing in a series of night drift events and I am debating whether or not to install underglow to grab some extra attention. I have invest alot of time and money into this car and I dont want to look too fan-boi ricerish, if you know what i mean. SERIOUS ADVICE IS APPRACIATED, thankyou

I was about to say you should be fired from life but then I actually read your post but I'm still kinda on the fence. do realize that adding underglow you will be joining the darkside regardless.

^^^ I agree

I guess just dont' OVER due it and make it look cheesy and like you put it on in 5 seconds.

agreed, my car is a little beat up, but i like to do things rite. Honestly i never had the idea before a few days ago, it started while re-watching some of the old nite time track videos. I was thinking red neon as long as it doesn't look pink, but im still apprehensive about the whole "underglow" thing; and thats why im here.

yes i know, that is why it says "this is what the car looks like" after the pic.check out the pic in my avatar, same car, same color, same hood, same black roof, same body kit... you get the point.
oh... well that's kind of confusing. I don't know why you didn't just post up a pic of your car instead

but whatever...

I voted to spend money on other lighting

I would do it on a track car. But not red I would pick a color to contrast instead of matching the color of the car.

Because it's a drift car I say be flashy. Get underglow and get noticed more . Get your upgrades in the order you're comfortable with.

Man, I think if you've got the performance and skillz to shut up all the haters, do all the ricer shizz you want! I know I will one day... Underglows, LED windshield washers, Lambo doors, S15 front... the works!

As long as you've got 400hp+... the haters can eat a D!

I don't like that stuff, but then again it is a race car, and drifting is fun to watch, so this MIGHT add to the flavor. Just make sure you use red LEDs instead of gas tubes, much lighter and use no voltage

This ain't something I usually approve of, but if you're looking for some flavor, and if your car can back up its 'visual sh*t-talkin'... Go for it...

Get green its like the only color neon any1 ever needs. I say yes for the neons but be creative about it if the object is to get noticed.

Get strobes! Get Neons DO NOT GET THE SAME COLOR NEON AS YOUR CAR, GET SOMETHING THAT OFFSETS THE COLOR. And don't get the same color as your strobes (white)

If you can spend a bit more money, if you smoke your tires a lot and it is cold out. Get some lasers that aim near the back end corners. The Lasers will ONLY show when there is enough smoke. I think it looks pretty bad a** when you cant see the rear end but just a s*** ton of lasers coming out of some smoke!

Deff do the under glow and strobes ITS A FREAKIN Night drift event. Everyone's s***ty cellphone video cameras cant keep up with the cars when it is only the headlights it will not look cool. But then when they go upload them on youtube and everything and you are the guy you can actually SEE on the track because of the strobes and neon, who is going to have the lasting impression? the headlight guy or the neon sliding, strobe pulsing, laser shooting ufo on the track.

hahaha

Have fun bro, don't forget to share pics in everything you do!
