Yeah we over exposed the pix to get that glow. We only had the light from a street lamp, so without having a long exposure it would come out black. You can see the tail lights are bright too for the same reason. In real life they looked quite good. IMO.

I never got a chance to take some proper pix with my new mags and better lighting before I had to remove them...

Wow that's horrible. Sorry. Eww....

Neon is only acceptable if you are 17 and drive a mini truck.

White LED would look killer...I may do some sort of courtesy light in white LED that comes on for 30 sec once you arm or disarm the alarm/keyless entry....

"88 300CE- First Year Production
wow thats very bright Murky, I'll do what I can to not have the bulbs visible at all. See how slammed my car is in my avatar pic? it should be hard to see from any angle like that. I think flourescent will give me that not to bright/not to dim look. That optical wire idea seems like alot of work and setup must be done. And with duribility I've read that most of these kits are protected by an acrylic layer. Only drawback with that kinda light is that sometimes it takes several minutes for the bulb to brighten-up like it must warm-up. So ZORRO are you looking into this too? You should setup some pictures edited to taste for us to see. How durible is that optic cable anyways?

Yeah call me ricey if you want but its my car and your car is your car. Last year a finally got a Carat Duchatalet Trunk Spoiler and Also a custom front bumper add-on and no its not the wald style. Maybe years from now do a remote turbo setup. My exhaust may look ricey to as its a big chrome oval outlet instead of the 2 it had but it does have AMG stamped on it. Besides the Rice cars are fading out atleast here. I've never seen a car with a white underbody kit. How many ricers out there sport chrome- just words to calm the haters.............

crr1612 ,

What upgrades or additions do you plan to add to ypur CE? All I can think of from this point is the underbody lights and side skirts.

well, first on the list is fixing my fender and bumper. picked up the parts today so hopefully i do it replace em tomorrow, then get the fender painted. i would like to lower the car and get a spoiler. also, if i could get my rims except in 17s id be pretty happy. theres just a bit too much tire for me. as of recently, i replaced my old rockford 10s with a higher powered amp and 2 eclipse 12's. they are loud. sound system is pretty much set and sounds soo good. im not so sure about clear corners...mighta been chris who sed the orange blinkers goes well with white, and i kinda agree. i feel like gold underlights with my gold rims would be nothing less than

lots of cars
Well I have 5 10mm blue LEDs on each side. They are hooked up to my door switch. If you look at the bottom of ur car there are 5 rubber plugs that you can recess the light into. If you look around there was a member in this forums named RAMMBS that had a white wald 190e with this set up. I have to give credit where it's due..



you can buy them here.

There you go man, you've answered your own question. I'm not trying to be a d**k, I'm just saying do what you want. I think it will look cool and not ricey, at all. I suggest side skirts or what Abe said. Also, as far as I know you can have blue and/or red lights on your car as long as you can't see the source.

And no offense to ANYBODY on this thread, but...if lights under your car is "ricey", then certain tinted plastic pieces, that some members choose to put on their windows, is "redneck" and only belong on mini trucks and Peterbuilts.

Which reminds me of a line from one of my favorite movies, "Goodfellas"..."it's like puttin' a silk hat on a pig.It just ain't right." I say it's your pig and if the hat fits, wear it.

I don't see how a PRACTICAL item can be considered rice or redneck. Get a grip.
