Underbody LED kit? yes or no?
I've been trying to decide if I want to throw on a red LED underbody kit. I've never put one on a car before, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. Give me your opinion, especially if you have had these on any of your cars. Also, if you know of a good installer for the kits, let me know. Thanks!

I would do the whole jdm vip look as well. I used to have the led underbody kit on my beater car and they suck. I think you're gonna need at least 2 sets (8 bars total) to light up the underbody. You can't just use 4 bars and expect to be able to see it.

Puddle lights FTW. Do LED's in the wheel wells.
If you go with LED strips. Try 2 bars and make your decision on how bright it is.
It could be cheap spreaded out LED's probably need 4 bars

it all depends on what kind of pods u buy.. most require u to drill a hole on the sideskirt to mount it.. i ended up using epoxy to glue it in after i drilled.. some pods u buy have brackets that u just screw into the sideskirt.. wiring is very simple.. just a positive and a negative u tap to a power source.. depending on how u want ur pods to light up is the tricky part to figure out what wires to tap. pricing runs from $20 on ebay to $180 for "JDM" ones.

I say don't do it. I was considering doing this also and I asked my friends with mercedes,bmw,audi and they all said its rice. I guess it is just a JDM thing..
