They may be cool at car shows but on the street they are distracting, not to mention illegal. There is also somewhat of a hazard with the neon lights if they get broken in a collision, or for some other reason, and something flammable is present, due to the then-exposed high voltage in the tubes.

From what I know, Neon under the car is only illegal if you can see the tubes. Any color is fine as long as it is tucked under properly. That's how it is in California.

Neon was meant for old school low riders with mad spoked wheels and hydraulics.

Subaru's were intended for rally. Dirt or tarmac. Neon will get you pulled over quicker, even if it's legal...

Neon is for those who NEED to THINK that they are cool.
Just like all the rest of the ridiculous ricer BS that pollutes the minds of the young and dumb.

Unfortunately, on a subie it is rice. It's your car and your money but personally it seems like a crime to fudge up a subie with crazy body kit, big rice wing, dayglo paint job, 20" rims with stock brakes, and neon.
