Neat! I bet modern polymer technology and LEDs could make this practical again.

For sure ! I can imagine LEDs giving the ability to change color whenever the mood strikes . Or have them set up so that at slow speeds they light up green , faster they light up yellow , faster still they turn red , hit "ludicrous speed" and they hit bright orange . Maybe someone can show em to Elon Musk and tell him how awesome they'd look on a Tesla , then all we gotta do is wait for the aftermarket companies to pick up on it and we'll all have glowing rubber to our heart's content . Screw underglow , this is exponentially cooler :D

PS , am I twisted for wanting to go back in time and Date this lady :scratch2:

Pretty neat.

It would be cool if these were made again.

If they never get made one way to approximate the effect would be to take a wide white wall and paint the white with a paint that glows a visible color when exposed to UV and tuck some black lights up in the fenders...heck you could use a different color of the same paint in the wheel wells to add to the effect.

I like to light up the tire on my Harley by grabbing the front brake, a handful of throttle, and dumping the clutch...

Your reminding me that when I first saw the thread title I was expecting to see a 1000HP turbo LS thread...
