I say do what your heart desires. It's your ride. But I would suggest not overdoing it. And if your ride is still stock, you may want to wait until you get new shoes and maybe a drop.

I have always thought under body light kits where cool, but never while driving, just when youre hanging out with a group of cars in a parking lot or something. I never really liked the LEDs though... The light distribution is too broken up and not really bright enough. I liked the old school florescent tubing kind that hide up under your side skirts and bumpers. IMO that made a cooler looking blue. I dont think I would do this to my IS though unless I had decided initially to go all out rice and fix it up like it was a civic from the start.

So you're not going to turn it on while driving, right? You're only going to turn it on when you're walking to your car?

If so, then that's not so bad. It could look kind a cool... like a spotlight for your car.

Hey, rice is a style also and sometimes I think it is hard to make a ture rice car.

If you do underglow properly as the way you have said, it should be alright. Do not get bother with what other think.

i would have to agree, it is your car and only your opinion counts when it comes down to it.

if done tastefully and correctly, it shouldnt look too bad i would think. Good luck and keep us updated.

i say the puddle lights look cool... the underglow is not that cool, but would be if your just in a parking lot like you said..theres guy around here that dont mount them right.. to the point where you see the whole tube ducktaped to the car. what i mean is, you dont see the light on the road, you see the light on the tube. it looks ridiculous

Puddle lights are whatever, but underbody neons are ugly and ricey. Especially if your car isn't even lowered.

I'm just glad you are out in CA and I'll never have to see your car.
