Puddle light under the Z is no big deal, its not like it is some 90's streetglo kit that they turn on while sitting in some Home Depot parking lot. Plus the old saying of Happy wife, happy life might come into play too.

Isn't it more cost effective to simply purchase your wife an inexpensive maglite flashlight? The puddle lights look so ghetto.

I am such a child of the nineties. The only thing that keeps me from setting up all kinds of LED underglow stuff is the ridicule I would certainly get on this site. I have the heart of a 16 year old ricer wannabe from 1995.

Same here, although ridicule from guys who I'll most likely never meet doesn't bother me. It's more about finding the right set of lights. Some shine the light to the point where it looks like a badly done F&F ride, but sets like the one used on this car pull the look off nicely.



Some might like it and others won't but hey, different strokes for different folks.

I would do something tacky like RGB LED strips that fade Green-Yellow-Red alongside RPM..... or boost.

Even talking about it makes me start searching "RGB LED Strips" on amazon.
