here's the link to my page with my pics, any questions feel free to ask.
Its hard to tell, but my dash lights are blue, I replaced them on christmas eve, and the neon above my sub is directly hooked to it, so it pulses along witht he bass.

Cool pics, looks just like a new england winter wonderland after a snowstorm.

not too great of an idea to have the neons hooked directly to the sub source. there is too much amperage tranfering through the neon system. unless there is a DAMN good transformer on that neon, then if u use it for too long, your neon is going to superheat and explode.

well, I've had it like that for a few weeks, and I've had it running for 1/2+ hr constant, and no problems, I dont crank it and I have it set at a decent level to be not too loud, but also able to properly light it up

TRT, thanks for the info though, I might just be removing it soon anyways, it gets confusing, seeing flashing light in the back window at night:P

i know how that is... i used to have a louver on my rear and side windows of my RA64... at night when cars were behind me sometimes their headlights would seem like they were flashing or something because they'd go through the slats on my louvers... i'd find myself looking through my rear view miror alot at night time.

thats good to know, cause if I keep my celi and fix it all up, I was thinking of getting the louvers, but if it's gonna be like that, I should just tint my windows:P, 700$+ shipping for louvers, then customs fee's, or $200 for tinting all 5 possible windows:P

the louvers arent that annoying... you get used to it... and if you live in a state that doesnt have many hills it shouldnt be a problem at all... but in my area i have nothing much hills and such...

I loved my louvers... and the difference between louvers and tint is that louvers give a more aggressive look to your car while tint is just like a normal look any car can do.

BTW... why would you have to pay $700 for louvers? i got my factory Shadow louvers for $25 from a Toota wrecking yard... they had to be repainted but it wasnt a big deal...

you gotta love the canadian winters that last for 4 months..im from edmonton so i know the deep north winter cold too.
you got a nice ride bro.. those wheels are perfect for our cars. i have a set also. its too bad they're 14s though.
i think tinting all five windows would be sweet, i want to do that to my car too but i don't think that its legal in canada anymore. my buddies have been getting tickets for having tint on their front windows. its only like a $50 ticket but it adds up when you go out every weekend.

yeah, I was in calgary for 6 years, that was fun, walking 2+km in -30 weather, then the windchill:P
as for the tinting, doing the 2 door windows is illegal in some places, you just have to know if it is where you are, where I am here in a small town on vancouver island its debatable, it depends how dark it is and such
