Underbody glow
Im looking for a place to purchase an underbody glow kit, preferably blue
My reason for this, as you may know, I cut off my exhaust for bettter hp gains, so I need some piping under there to replace where my exhaust went

2. Placing the underglow where the exhaust was won't result in a good distribution of the glow under the car
3. I looked into underglow and found that I'd have to cut into the panels under the car to install tubes
4. The solution is from Varad The bars are retangular and only 0.3" high and should tuck nicely behind some of the 'groves' in the underbody panels to protect them from damage and to prevent them from being seen directly from. The only thing si that they don't really 'glow' the light is more concentrated so I'm not sure if I want to do this yet....

Underbody neons are a pain in the a$$ (i.e. rain, breaking over speed bumps, etc) and luckly I sold my Celica last year with my 3rd set working most of the time...on a Mercedes it would look just plain

Yeah bro, im goin with the majority on this one, it is real ricey to do that, you wont experience a huge HP gain by just cutting off your muffler, you will experience a lot of pissed off drivers due to your loud car, i suggest you buy an aftermarket exhaust, like Eisenmann, trust me, youll get a desireable HP gain and the sound is nice and deep, not annoying. And ax the whole underglow thing, you paid a lot of money for a mercedes, so treat it like one, its a prestigous car, no matter what model you have, it should recieve some dignity, good luck with everything man.
