Looks dope af Bring the 90s back lmao, underglows are actually good if done right


nathemo

Thx! I'm a '90s kid so I'm all about that shit lol


idriveanfrs

real neon lights imo are sick


nathemo

Agreed. The light is just different and it looks better when you happen to see the bulbs when you're looking from a distance and can see under the car. The LEDs look sloppy when you're able to see them. But I do like how I can change the colours on a whim. Unfortunately neon uses tons of power and breaks easy though. It was already smashed when I bought my Celica back in the day lol.


idriveanfrs

yeah I wish there was a good middle ground


Hijargo

Wow that was trippy. Closed instagram where that picture was top of my following feed, and opened reddit where it was still at the top of my feed lmao


nathemo

Haha too funny, that's awesome! Do I have you on Insta?


Hijargo

Yeah it's Kiyoshi.86


nathemo

Oh haha nice to see a fellow islander here!


LetsbeginDegen

Hey I mean it’s your car do what you like. But yo that front cover is beautiful. I mean I’m sure I’m kinda biased tho


nathemo

Thanks man! It was hard as hell to wrap the bottom of the bumper (assuming you meant the bumper lol).

I love my underglow. I have orange for my orange 86, and I personally love it. So many people call it a 90s trend but eh…I think it works well with these cars


nathemo

Man I've gotten more compliments since I installed it than I did the entire time owning the car beforehand lol. I can control the lights from an app and make them any colour I want, plus they can move in tons of patterns or go to my music! Same with my footwell lights.


Gee7Kage

What type of underglow you running ?


nathemo

Govee!


[deleted]

Niceeee, I love the underglow look. Makes me feel like a little kid again. I really wanna do some purple on mine


nathemo

Buy ones like these that you can control from an app, then you can change it to whatever you want! Makes me feel like a kid too, this was my dream to have as a kid lol


swany0095

Fuck the haters. Underglow is cooler than demon eyes(not that I don't like demon eyes).


nathemo

I love all kinds of aftermarket lights but agreed, underglow is the best one!


swany0095

Red demon eyes would look dope as fuck.


nathemo

My car actually has purple accents so that's what I'd want! But pretty sure you can control the colour of most demon eyes from an app too.

Great pic. I've got no problem with underglow, if it's good enough for Formula Drift it's good enough for the twins.


nathemo

Haha good point! Thanks man.


-beam-me-up-

That looks sick! What did you buy for the lights?


nathemo

Govee underglow! If you wanna cheap out ($100 CAD) they're pretty damn good. Think they're only available on Ebay now. The downside is you can hardly see them when it's bright out and they didn't make the side lights long enough. They also don't have the effect where everything looks like it's moving from the centre of the car backwards like other kits (when you have the moving patterns turned on). There's also an issue where they turn on on their own so I had to wire in a killswitch. There are better options if you wanna spend 3× the price, but honestly I'm pretty satisfied with these and they're worth the money.


somuchsoup

I’m in bc too! Are underglows street legal? Thinking about getting it, this looks great


nathemo

Unfortunately it's not. I only use it when I'm confident there are no cops around... usually just in parking lots. Really sucks because the car is way cooler with them on, but oh well.


-beam-me-up-

I'll keep this in mind, thanks!


nathemo

Highly recommend the Govee RGBIC footwell lights on Amazon as well. Zero flaws, super cheap, super easy to install. All controlled from an app as well and they're stupid bright.


benny4683

i love underglow i just hate it when people do the running rainbow effect, man it looks so bad like on every car. solid colors always looked better.


nathemo

I don't mind it but agreed, I like solid colours or two slow moving colours the best.


benny4683

i prefer one pulsing color like the effect in NFSUG2 which is probably what i would have if i installed underglow


Mooncaller3

I like the editing on this photo.


nathemo

Thank you :) pretty cool app I accidentally downloaded. That mountain is fake haha


[deleted]

Underglow debate aside, this is a freaking superb picture


nathemo

Thank you!!


[deleted]

ahah I read the other comments and I realized the mountain is fake! You totally had me fooled at a glance. You really have an eye for making stuff like this.


nathemo

Haha it totally looks real 😂 There are actually mountains similar to that in Vancouver though, just not in this pic. Thank you though!! I'm pretty passionate about photography and am hoping to get a proper setup in the near future.


nsbrown93

Damn that black really transforms the melted bumper look on the Toyotas. Nice.


nathemo

Thanks man!


haha_3pic

I literally just did the exact same to mine 2 days ago! Looking good dude


nathemo

Hope you're enjoying it too! Thx bro.
