Well I've had the idea of putting under-car lighting under my truck for along time, but i hate main stream parts so I build my own what do you think ?

This one was taken in the rain last night so i dont know if you can see anything

Let me now if their good or bad

beaterC10 · 01-06-2006, 05:06 PM

The link didn't work. What will your friends think if you put lights under the truck? All my redneck hillbilly friends accuse me of being from California for driving a lowered shortbed.

edsullivan · 01-06-2006, 05:07 PM

personally i think it is very very ricerish, and personally i wouldn't do stuff like that to my truck, money better spent on stuff making it go faster lol. But if you like it shouldn't really matter what other people think if you like it, roll with it

**N2TRUX** · 01-06-2006, 05:43 PM

I'm pretty sure I would never do it on my truck, but that's just me. If it's what you want, then do it...

stepside454 · 01-06-2006, 05:45 PM

Yep, what they said. I think it looks pretty childish...but hey...its not mine..so do what you like

Army_Dude · 01-06-2006, 06:17 PM

no link for me either... I don't like it. But I too am a firm believer in doing your own thing. If you like it, then thats all that matters. Opinions are like (you know), everyone has one and most of them stink!

TEAM THC · 01-06-2006, 07:42 PM

I Would'nt Do It To My Truck, But To Each Their Own. If You Like It,do It Who Cares What Others Think. That's What So Cool About Our Hobby. The Same Trucks Look Totally Diffrent, Because Of Our Diffrent Personalitys.

linky no worky

canadian trucker · 01-06-2006, 10:46 PM

bs computer would not release the files due to firewall

to those people who say they would not do i say i was one of you in the beginning but taste changes and I really don't care what people say but i like to hear their opinions

ChevyCrazy67 · 01-06-2006, 11:25 PM

I like some ground effect lights but something just doesn't hook up right to me, maybe the pictures doesn't do it justice like seeing it in real life. ___________________________________________________________________________ChevyCrazy67

my vote-bad

Nolowrider · 01-07-2006, 12:09 AM

Not for me, but it is your ride.

ilg14 · 01-07-2006, 12:13 AM

If in real life the light is "softer" than it appears in the pic, it might be okay.

84slopwaggin · 01-07-2006, 12:32 AM

I say do whatcha like. I've seen Harley's with neon outlining the engine and you can't get anymore American than a Harley. Whatever you do just reflects your personallity. It's your handy work too, so be proud of it. I wouldn't put neon outside of mine, but if a could fab up some interior lighting I sure would try it.

79BIG10 · 01-07-2006, 01:28 AM

If you like it keep it. For me it belongs on a overhead dance floor light system.

72MARIO · 01-07-2006, 02:32 AM

Well it's at least blue. I dont mind it. Will The dam Cops ? If you like it leave it.

There is a guy here that has a Hugger orange Pro Street 71 Nova with green under glow. That Looks horrible.

86swb · 01-07-2006, 06:28 PM

If you like it leave it. I would not do that to my truck but that is only my openion.

'78 Fleetside · 01-07-2006, 10:42 PM

I personally DO like the underglow on trucks. My buddy has a 94 shortbed with underglow and it looks Fantastic. Dont do anything to your truck based on other peoples opinions... Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, if you think it looks good on your truck do it. And no offense to none of you, but why is the lights "childish" or rice or whatnot, when we do other things to customize, like, shaving door handles, tailgates and things like that? Sorry if anyone takes that offensively, not my intentions.

-Daniel

canadian trucker · 01-08-2006, 04:43 PM

thanks for the replies
the lights are just a faint glow in real (pics dont do justice)
so i heard good and bad about them and i respect all your opinions
but it always comes down to the bottom line of what the person Building/creating /driving likes and in this case its me and i like them.

so onca again thankx for your comments

woody96 · 01-08-2006, 06:51 PM

I personally don't like that effect on any vehicle....but, as others have said---it is your vehicle....do what YOU want to it.....

r0lf- · 01-08-2006, 07:24 PM

In my OPINION. It looks extremely tacky. But thats just me.

Hey now?!
I think your friends REALLY mean that you are from LA, or San Francisco....

Not everyone in California are liberal, freaky, "Let's pierce our tounge and dye our hair" subscribers...

I'm more than a bit conservative, and been called redneck and hillbilly...

As far as the lights, though... if that's the look you are going for, I'd say do it... I wouldn't do it to mine, I personally believe that they are more suited for the import "tuner" cars..

SanitysBane · 01-11-2006, 12:16 AM

I think the important thing to look at is who's name the truck is in. Once we get that settled, then it is up to that person to decided what is cool or not for that ride.

75silverstep · 01-11-2006, 04:25 AM

Well You Asked For A Vote .dont Do It ......bad Very Bad....

87 STEPPER · 01-11-2006, 07:37 AM

Heres what i think!

I think you did a very good job putting the system togeather your self and it looks good to me from what i see in the pic's.

You should be proud of your work! good job
