they distract people who are also driving. Some dude will think, "wow, look at that". He'll look at your car instead of the road and possibly cause an accident. They look cool but they are almost too eye catching.

Sweet 
! I was thinking of ordering the street glow gold edition underbody kit for my P5 when i get my P5 
....... But i will check out the state laws because someone told me you could drive when them on, but then again, i agree they would be to eye catching and could cause accidents. I seen some riced civics with them speeding by lol, they had dim underbody kits though 
I will check tonight but they are illegal when moving but if your stationary chilling at the mall or something they are legal. I dont want to buy a underbody kit of i cant use it LOL

If they aren't illegal in a certain state they should be. I would defintely consider them rice. Lights on the bottom of a car or anywhere else they shouldn't be, just look whack as hell. A good lookin car doesn't need a light show to draw attention away from its short comings.

Big deal so a couple of ppl think your a ricer for having an underbody light. kit. If u like them is there any other opinion that really matters, but i understand why u would ask. Personally i like them . .

I was thinking of getting some because i want everyone to look at my car like WOW, that car is hot , But if its going to cause problems with the cops then i might need to consider not getting them ... 
Or get some anyway and run from the cops !
Everyone will see me on fox on one of those police chase shows LOL !
And get to see the P5 in action as i weave threw police cars

Yeah, but here's the real important question. Why do you want "everyone else" to say wow your car is hot. Screw what people think, turn it into something you like. Its your car, and your opinion should be the only one that matters. I have my yellow p5 all decorated with huge vinyl Insane Clown Posse stickers on the back that makes people go "what the Hell are those?" and I order some wheels that my friends say "yuck" to. But I don't care, you know why? Its my car, and I like it.

I guess it gives you confidence.....
it makes you think that you are doing a good job with your car and that it is more than average..........
i don't know.........., but I am pretty sure that everyone would like for people to look at their cars and say WOW look at that.....
i don't have the money to afford a nice *** ride......, neither do I
have the money to mod my current ride the way I would like it...
I guess I understand where people come from when they say its rice.............., but I like it and I think its kick ***.........
it's different.............not that many people have it.........it's not like
the windshield washer LED's
......
If you like it then get it..............don't get it to bring attention to your car..........get it because it will make you smile when you turn it on and look at your car 'cause you love the way it looks........
i think I went too far with this so its time for me to stop
