I once had to reinstall the neon on a customer car after we installed a turbo. It made me feel soiled.
I have a friend who wanted to install them on his car. I finally convinced him that they would fail autocross tech. (mostly because they are possessed of fail and I refused to be a party to their installation)
We did have a car shatter one at an autocross once, it was a PITA to clean up.
My first encounter with neons was when a tech drove a Toyota Paseo onto the alignment rack, there was a loud 'pop' followed by a cloud of dust and glass fragments. The shop had to replace it for him.
The worst encounter was when a tech came and got me, says 'you got to see this'. There was a cloud car (Cirrus/Stratus) on his lift, there were those little 'beehive' clearance lights stuck everywhere underneath (IIRC there were at least 10 of them) and the wiring was a complete horror story of speaker wire, zip cord and wire nuts..
we had a stock (-k&n filter and bed-liner coated stock wheels, of course)early 350z come in the other day with neons running down both sides and in the front. disgusting.
As the owner of a neon shop..... yeah.....
But we still do them but its around $800 and we do them right. Had a 64 or 65 green Impala have them done not just underneath but inside the trunk, engine bay and interior. They looked great on a show car.

Nope, this was quite a bit earlier. I did improve on the location of the front tube - I hid it inside the nose so it lit up the intercooler. This car looked like it had been driven through a Pep Boys covered in crazy glue.
I crewed for a couple of Miatas during last year's 25 Hours of Thunderhill, and they had LED lights in the wheelwells. A bit stronger than clearance lights, but similar idea. Pretty clever, it added some nice illumination if you needed to do some work.
