How would a grey bonneville look with blue graphics and blue neon lights.

asonofabeach69 05-29-2005 03:33 AM

probably pretty good, gray is a pretty neutral color so it looks alright with just about anything. Are you thinking about an under car kit? Havent seen to much of that, it would be interesting to see if the neon bars hide well under the body on the sides...ya kno? :wink:
Nothing worse then neon under car kits where you can see the neons from 5 feet away :roll:

I'd stay away from the graphics, but the neons would be cool.

Check out Firedevil's car. He has a million of em on his car.

bonnevilles are not racecars, sports cars, or silly hondas.... they are luxury vehicles, and luxury vehicles have no business with graphics.. Id leave that to the ricers buzzing around town....

In some states you can run any colors except red to the rear, amber to the sides and white to the front on the public roads which, in short, means no underbody at all. Check the laws where you're at.

you are right but MOST states do not permit Red and Blue lights under the car, as they simulate fire and police

Right. Right. My point basically is that one may not be able to run them on the public streets anyways...so what color you get might be influenced by that. If you can run them on public streets, then red and blue are out of the question. But if you can't, they might still be an option since you would only (legally) be running them on private property (at home, parking lots, etc...) and the legality of the color would no longer be an issue.

I think underbodies period are illegal in a lot of areas. As for a cosmetic mod though, it can really look good if done right.

Plurr 05-30-2005 02:22 AM

well i like to break the law apparently since i can do red and blue and make them dance around like strobes and have tvs in the front visors (which i turn to the side so i dont get pulled over when driving...as much) and yah cops really love me but they have never done anything but tell me to turn down my system. i your car would look good with neons and grey is a great color to work with since you can pretty much choose tons of colors to go with it unlike red like i have....but sometimes i mix it up for christmas and stuff haha. neons are real fun and can look good but just remember when you have them on you are more likely to be a target for speeding, and all the other things cops like to nail people for since you will be a main target. other than that go wild have some fun and draw some attention to the bonnie...it deserves it! (oh yes and no graphics cuz thats too much attention and you cant turn that off) :D

Most definately don't do the graphics, our car are pimped out G-rides that don't need the vinyl to look good. I once thought about it but then I woke up.

the neon would be a very nice touch though. Just make sure you can hide the bulbs. i can't stand to see a neon job screwed up by being able to see the bulbs.


Just my opion take it for what it is worth.

Peace

Some tasteful graphics could look good. What did you have in mind?(Hopefully not a dragon or some sort of asian character)
If you want to do neons, do it. ALL neons are illegal on public roads, however you can turn them on if you're in a parking lot.
