Default great idea but need some help...

i got a awsome idea but im not quite sure how i could pull it off

what if i made a plexiglass floor with neon lights under it? how could i pull this off? i think it would be really cool.. i know how to do the circuitry its the part about the plexiglass that im curious about.. would i need a subframe or something?

you prolly need to build a metal frame to put the plexiglass in for support..... so lemme get this right you wanna take your floor boards out and replace it with plexiglass so you can see the road as your driving ?? i really don't think that is to safe tbh... if its like a show car thats a different story..

actually i just talked to my dad about it and he said it will never work..... the car would basically fall apart when you drive it.. when your driving the frame of the car twists and bends not alot but enough so that it would most likely break the glass.. it could cause damage to you, people around you, and even your car... i wouldn't try it..

o well then that might be do able but you have to make it so it doesn't affect the pedals and the seats.... but yeh you prolly need to build a metal frame to put the plexiglass in for support..im not fully sure you will have to look into online more or hope some one hear knows more about it.

You could do it, it won't be that hard. I wouldn't cut the whole floor out, I would cut panels, and reinforce the floor with some supports and you should be fine.

If you do it yourself- $50-$100. If you have someone do it-$500-$600.

tube frame the car....you would have too, The Neon (as near every car nowadays) is a unibody. There is no frame....so you would need to fabricate one...and uhhh...good luck
