actually neon for in-car use comes in much heavier plastic tubes.
most of the cathodes I've used were designed for PC cases and break with almost equal force as of that required to snap a bread stick in half.

You sure about that? I bought a meteor stick from there. It can with the expansion slot bracket for a computer. Thinking other stuff may be the same way, being they are sunbeam or whatever brand.

The 2 I got in the headliner, which are form Oznium (bought them from a person that got them form oznium), look and feel just like the ones you'd buy from Compusa. Same thickness of tube, same bulb.

The only place where I think I would have a problem with them snapping is in the back seat somewhere... I CANT FIND A PLACE ANYWHERE TO MOUNT THESE!!!

Ok I lied the only place that I can mount these is right under the back seat and they still may break there. I can’t put them under the drivers/passengers seat because there is some sort of metal casing below the seat. I was thinking of mounting them to the floor like real far under my drivers/passengers seat but I don’t think that will work. Once I get them I’m sure I will find a place.

Now Chris told me he uses the strong double stick tape (obviously not scotch tape) but do you think that would work or does this thing weigh too much?
