Lighted Accent Tape? J-Ride 03-27-2002, 11:13 PM
About a year ago, I came across the personal site of an owner of a very phat RX-7. One of the things that he had on his ride was lighted accent tape... almost like duct tape, but it had fiber optics running the length of it. All he had to to was cut a length of the tape, apply it to the outside of his vehicle, and hook it to his battery, and it was ready to go, with a cool glow all along his RX. I recently decided I'd like to get some of this tape for my car, but I can't seem to find the website or the tape anywhere. Can anyone help me out? There's a semi-similar product at www.neontrim.com, but I would prefer the tape... cheaper and can be applied to the outside of the car, not just the interior. Thanks!

But I swear it is, at the time I actually visited the site of the company that he purchased it from... nittanys1 03-28-2002, 11:39 AM have anyones seen that neon wire stuff for interior use.

Its electro-luminescent pin-striping... pretty cool if you ask me! Related Links Enter the largest automotive community on the planet! |
