neon. purple neon. under my scooter.

 

So people have different styles.  People appreciate different things.  Many of my friends do not appreciate purple neon under cars, but some do.  I happen to love it.  As long as I have had my scooter I have wanted to get some purple neon under her.  Get that glow… I figure you, dear reader, are having one of three reactions right now.

A.  Get out!  That looks ridiculous!  Really now, that just looks childish/juvenile/ghetto (and not in a good way)/ trashy (not in a good way)

B.  I can see how you might like it, but it’s not for me.

C.  Awesome!!!  How can I do it?  And is there any way to put hydraulics on it while we’re at it?

If you responded A or B, then just come back tomorrow for a post on a different topic.  If you answered C, you are in luck!  Well, except for the hydraulics part.

I bought a kit (http://www.streetfxseries.com/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=8&idproduct=74) from my local store (http://www.ironpony.com/) and, with a little help, proceeded to install the 2 light strips and 2 of the 6 light pods.  I’m having trouble getting the photos to come out, so photos and detail instructions are coming soon in another post.

Estimated time to do this job: about 2 hours to install, another 1/2 hour to check.  this is with 2 people.  with only one it will be slower.

Tools needed besides the kit: screw drivers, extra screws (kit only came with 4), zipties (kit only came with one), electrical tape

Be prepared to: get on the floor to reach under the scooter, access your battery
