              For me it's the neon, not your Festiva. I'm sure your Festy is great! It's just that I've never seen a neon install that doesn't look, you know, kinda tacky or "rice-y" or both. It's just not a good look imo. But as I said to each his own..do your own thing and be happy!

                I say rice it out and throw some big ass honda badges where the ford ones were... haha... jk..

                Go for it, if you want it to glow then let it glow... as for install it should be to hard, I know I would try to mount them not right in line with the tires, the less rocks thrown up at them is probably better... and other than that just follow the instructions, or use those white plastic zip ties... I would prolly do that...

                  i'll hunt around and see if I can find some pics of mine with the neons. I know I don't have any close ups of the install but I may at least have a couple of it lit up at night.

                        I'll give you one piece of advice....I had bought a set one time and went tto install them on a car....to make a long story short i mounted one of the tabs in the wrong place resulting in a cracked bulb.....stupid that i didn't look at the instructions. The place i bought it for wouldn't take it back, and returns thorugh the compan didn't well iether.

                            Well...I was able to mount the side ones but didn't have enough light to do anything much with the back, AS for the front...still trying to locate a place for it...too much machine & not enough body :-)
