it holds up fine. I'm sitting at stock height though. If you've got a drop i would worry about hitting holes in the road and taking out some of the LEDs.

I have the iceled UFO kit. Ya the 1000 dollar one. I road with it on the car last winter. Bagged as well. So i road lower than anyone on here I am sure lol. They held up fine. But obviously it is all about where you mount it and how. And a little luck.

I'm not sure you "road" lower than anyone, but I'm sure you rode the lowest
If you mount them behind the pinch welds to the body you won't have issues with any of that. It will hit the pinch weld before the tube. Mount the tube to the side skirt and fail.

God I'm dumb. How the hell did I manage that one.
That is where I had mine at for a while. But due to me being so low i mounted them in a different spot for now to get a much better spread. This year I am storing the neon so I don't have to worry aout it. Just pray that a chunk of ice or something doesn't hit a tube.

Leds you don't have to worry about. Neons when cold are easier to shatter. IMO if you don't want to have to worry about them just take them off for the winter.

i thought about that but i have all the wires wired and stuff, the only way without doing all that would be to cut them and then re wire them

I've been saying that it's onomatopoeia! Neons on a neon. It is only acceptable on our cars!

They shouldn't freeze. This is my second set of LED underbodies. My first set went through four winters with no issues at all. That was a Varad kit.

Oh damn. You have the tubes filled with neon gas?! Hardcore.
Someone tried to tell me that the tubes will explode in an accident if the tubes are shattered. This is a myth. Neon is an inert gas. Also, I have LEDs...

what, there just neon tubes and not led neons

Well I can't give you an accurate opinion as I've never had the neon tubes on my car I've always had LEDs. It's really how thick the plastic is and how good the seals are.
