Would be kind of cool if the color matched the puddle lights and turned on/off with them.

Hey Guys,

Loving the feedback

This mod appears to have some strong opinions.
I started this as a gag for the holidays but now am genuinely curios; why is there so much disdain for underglows?

Some of the most exotic cars have them, would you say the same if on a Lambo?

Please share.

No strong feelings about it. I just don't really get it. Looks like there's an alien hiding under the car.

Well, you mention the holidays. Perhaps a nod to the Christmas Vacation storm drain?

Underglow lights only look good under a mega yacht in the Caribbean.

1. 1993 is over 2. Nothing original 3. Hideous 4. Why would you even do this to your Lexus and yes even a Lambo? 5. Unless you are under the age of 18, drink juice out of a carton box and/or live in part of country where internet just got introduced then maybe its cool.

So its ugly because its an act of immaturity in your opinion.

I would argue against the "nothing original" defense - its too ambiguous. We've all shared an idea, build or a mod that was done by someone first. Sharing is what draws many of us to this forum.

However, I did think I WAS being original in that my car and house lights are pulsating in sync to the Christmas music outside...at least in my neighborhood I am

Does no one have christmas lights on their houses? Holiday decorations are always pretty tacky, why is there so much criticism directed at someone who decorates their car along with their house?

OP, this IS temporary for the holidays right?

For Holidays, fair game. Give the children some smiles. Cmon guys, didn’t you all dress your little boys in Superhero underwear? It brought a smile to their faces. Same thing here. It’s about the children and is very festive.

Thanks BMGS. Ugly sweater for the car.

Haha - That was the original plan but seeing how much everyone likes them, I might just keep them on. LOL, kidding.

Are you that person? If yes, then do it.

lol to me its kiddie like. When I was in middle school and the first Fast and Furious came out I wanted to have all those underbody glows with big spoilers etc. As I aged I saw really only high school kids have those types of mods where they were clearly more for the esthetics of looking like they're race cars but actually do nothing for their specific car. Nowadays to me that's definitely rice but usually just associated with high school kids who did things that they could afford to make it look "cool". But to each their own as long as you like it that's all that matters right?
