underbody neons...

hey..i had questions before about the neons...mostly about whether or not to get them..and i thank u all for the answers...but now i have another problem

i bought the neons, but if u look under your mini, in the boot (rear), there is (what i believe) a splashguard for the battery...

is there any way that i can mount the 36 inch neon??? will i have to mount under the sihield or cut the shield or what...if anyone has approached this problem or has ideas on how..that would be amazing

thanks
mike

Splashguard? That's the battery box... lol.

Yea you could cut it out, but then you wouldn't have anywhere to put the battery (And you'd need to weld a flat plate over the top in place).

You may be talking about the heatshield, if you remove this you will have exhaust in the way.
Return the neons and get LEDs.

Not sure what you're talking about then. If you mean the aluminum paneling then of course you can bend it or put holes in it if you want, shouldn't hurt anything. Take a picture of it, that will help.
