Question Neon Suggestions Please...

First off, please spare me the "rice" speach. I like the look of neon lighting, and would like to do it to my car.

My question is, should I go with blue neons on a red car, or stick with my original plan of the red ones? The only reason I changed my mind is that I just installed the Protege' 5 logo Indiglo door sills, and they light up blue. I really like the look, but I'm skeptical as to whether the blue would look nice on the rest of the car, like under the dash, under the car, etc.

Right now, my car has white accents with the mesh grill, and the white / polished rims. My girlfriend's Mom said that the blue will provide an awesome contrast, but the red will make the car "flow" alot better.

So, I turn to you. What should I do?

im guessing the indiglo wont be the smae blue as you would get with neon lights, therefore, i would stick with red. the 2 different blues might give that weird, really close but not close enough look.

I think if you go with red neon it may be to much.
You should go with some thing that compliments the car, like blue or even try green.
thats my .02$

Greg, I got them from my buddy I used to work with at the dealer. You should be able to pick them up at your Mazda parts dept i they've ever heard of them.
