LEDs help me decide


Recommended Posts

Thanks to beatbox, I'm getting a hard on for LED's..... but now that I have been looking I'm not sure where to put them. And how much is too much without looking completely ghetto? then again I dont have the nic name ghetto redneck for nothing LOL

I dont really wanna do the under glow but the interior like that found HERE

Yes I have a small box, but she pounds very nicely....

Pink Valve caps for the wheels??

My interior its a light grey so the pink should show up pretty good right? But then I think pink and purple would look awesome too.

I think this is red and blue, but I would love to find some pink and purple like that

And I also found these....

And I could get away with this for the wheels since I dont go offroad

And also there is soo many different types you got flexi, rope, strips, ribbons and bars. so what would be the best to achieve the look I want?

I dont have that dark of a tint as you can tell so i cant go too crazy on the inside with the LEDs but I wouldnt mind having that "soft pink hue"

So would those last two pics be taking it too far?? Or would just the door handles and Valve stem caps compliment it overall?

And on the inside besides the install kit shown up there, there are soo many different places i could put LED's. I could do all around the back hatch, door strips, all along the bottom or all along the headliner.

So how would be the best approach to get that "soft pink hue" do along the headliner or stick to the floor??

LED's anywhere besides the footwell and behind gauges are overdoing it IMO. I'm not a fan of underbody kits or anywhere on the outside and think they look tacky.

I think on vehicles that are dropped with wheels tucked and a tasteful body kit, underbody kits finish it off nicely. That said, if you don't fit that, then avoid underbody kits.

I say make the interior glow, but only if you plan on doing other interior modifications. I just think lighting up a fully stock thing is lame. No offence, but I think its doubly lame to do it with cloth seats.

If you light up under the handle, go with a cool blue or white. Otherwise leave it alone.

I guess I'm just a fan of staying low key. :/

You may be offended by the above. Don't take it personally, I'm just abrasive.

DO NOT GET THE VALVE STEM TIRE FLYS!!! i've known 3 people so far who had issues removing them after extended use threw the rain. i would say do it inside... many options... behind the vents, under the seat, under the dash, you can outline the roof or drop a few in top of the door frame. i was looking into the led ribbon to go around the windshield & chase. i wouldn't do anything outside unless you have it rimmed up, otherwise you are accenting nothing. i have the same belief with under body kits... those need to be earned with mods before they can go on & look proper. if you really want the inside to glow i would say hang 'em high & aim 'em down... floor is just an additional option once you've already done the top.

here's a few things i've done so far

IMO, only under seats front and back to give it a glow. anything else looks tacky to me too. no underglows; a big waste of money for no reason. And also, those dome and door lights in LED are pretty cheaply made. Ive seen them break a few times.

do a combo of pink and blue. that should give you the pink and where they mix the purple. I like blue and white as well. I did the vents and etc in my last car. nothing in this one.

Maybe throw some led's in the door speakers.

Or you can down-grade your RE-Audios to

lol

I'd put led's underneath the seat.

Some people could care less about who the genius is that is making the product... They just want to get it cheap and say "derrrr, look at teh pretty lights in muh dash!"

Because audio is a lifestyle not a hobby.
