How to install 370z underbody led glow?

AntiVenom · 11-09-2015, 03:30 AM

Hi Katie,
My best suggestion would be to search YouTube.

I am not sure I am crazy about this guys zip tie method (drilling holes in to the car is not for me) but I am sure it will hold the strips.

While I agree with the build it for yourself / screw the haters the led underglow thing is generally out of style. Then again there are people running insane camber and riding on 2" of the inside tread on their tire. So what's in style or out doesn't necessarily dictate good taste.

I'm trying to install led lights under my car and I just can't find a way to mount the led strip at the back of the car, mines a oem rear bumper FYI, and I couldn't find a way to mount it anywhere in the back. The sides and front are fine but I'm having trouble with the rear.. Can anyone help? Thanks

you're in the wrong car crowd..

I ran underglow on my 99 eclipse, love it. Still do if it is tastefully done and the color combo looks good. I personally would not put it on my Z but I still love a good kit done up right.

Mr. Forsberg seems to like his just fine. I say do it and post pics!!

I didn't read a word of this thread, just the title.

Step 1. Throw away neon lights.

Step 2. Throw away your copies of Fast and Furious and all those late 90s tuner magazines.

Step 3. Sell your Z.

Step 4. Don't ever post a thread about neon underbody lights again.

Step 5. Have a nice day.

Chris Fosberg did it for the promo video. I don't think he rides around with led glowing under his car. And I have never seen a car with under glow led that was consider "done right" but it's just me.

I'm not going to lie.. I love me some underbody glow. I would do it if I thought I could get away without ridicule and if I thought the LEDs would be durable. Unfortunately, I don't think either are possible.

Really?

At first I thought this person is a troll.

Then I looked at post history, seems like the owner is fixing up a damaged car, and not such a newb.

I find it hard to believe that someone savvy enough to battle all the engine troubles on your own need others advices on mounting underglow...

Interesting thread tho. Seriously, I would rather accept underglow then having 0 offset hellaflush 245 on 11 in rims ($4k rims but cheap *** tires), -4 degrees camber and ppl be like "sick setup bro"....

How about a 11 in wheel, with 285s and 2 degrees of camber on a - offset, on decent tires & roughly 8k wheels? lol i get your point but your math was all wrong.
