Default LED underglow, Love it or Hate it

so just got all new fairings on my 06 f4i, ordered in some red leds to put under glow on it, what do you guys think about underglow? I'm on the fence, idk if i love it or if its too "Fast and Furious" for me.

I think its pretty badass if its done right (Not over the top and you can't actually "see" the lights)

I've thought about getting a set for the 09 CBR. If wiring wasn't my most hated thing in the world I would probably have some by now.

But I would never ride with them on. More of a totally unnecessary conversation piece.

I've been saving my AutoZone rewards points for some! LOL. I'm a mechanic, and anytime I do side work (or work on my own vehicles), I make sure that I swipe/ other people swipe my autozone card. I have $40 on it now, that will be used for LED lights soon.

Not something that I would do to any of my vehicles. I will admit that if done tastefully (as in subtle), can look good.

www.ledglow.com is all plug and play, No cutting or splicing needed at all.

If I were to do it I would wire it to the Alarm so it flashes when I arm /disarm, or if it goes off. Its all about the subtle things.
