    Talking Spyder in neon

    Found a company who makes neon wire, www.Glowire.com so I removed the front bumper and had a paint shop do the "Spyder" in white and then followed up with the green neon Glowire. It is connected to the 3 amp fuse which powers accessories. The dash light is on same fuse and it stays on for a couple of moments after the key is off

    Thanks for the feed back.. I had a hard time getting the wire to bend and lay flat. Also the angle of the bumper is not doing the "d" justice

    I like the idea, do you think that the wire could be bent in sharp enough angles to outline teeth?

    That is WAayyyy cool! Is that stuff pretty tough, or does it look like it's a break looking for a place to happen? Anway...

    Glowire says the wire can be bent within its radius so no tight/ folded bends. I think it would be possible to bend for teeth if wanted. Its about 1/8 thick and its a finer wire with in a cover just like normal project wire. It can be spliced together and all colors can be mixed and matched. The kit I got had 2 quick connectors so I could add a 2nd color string if wanted. Glowire even show options for adding it on RC's? Thinking my toy spyder might be gettng a mod! You can test with just a 9 volt battery.

    How very cool what a great idea. I sure wish that I had these ideas to make my spider stick out in a crowd

    AWESOME!!!
    now i have to decide if i want that instead of Dayrunner type stuff.....
    that would be great for visibility.

    Question: are they bright enough to actually increase nighttime vision? or are they just stellar show pieces?

    The Glow wire is only for show. Not really any light from it.
