Opinions - light behind the grill

I'm thinking about doing a white light behind the grill. I don't like the ricer look, but I want a little something to make my ride different. If I do it, it'll be white, not colored. Opinions?

LOL I though i'd get that response. I was thinking maybe something that fades softly from the Mt Fiji. I guess I'll just put something temporary back there to see how it looks. If It screams ricer, I'll drop it.. If not, I'll post pics

Word. I was hoping for something a little more constructive than "please don't", but I oh well. People always overdo it with their lights when they go that route, so I'm gonna try something semi-subtle and see what I come with.

hahaha there was a G35 coupe at the ATL NOPI show that had a "KIT" light on it. Check out cereal2k's threads from NOPI, I know he took some pics/vids of it

Actually I've seen someone with high powered LEDs behind the Mt. Fuji that accent it. Looks pretty good.

you drive an import, muscle dudes will bash on you forever no matter what you do to the car. go with what looks nice. having every strip in the grill lighted up with strobe white led's might be pushing it. but glow from behind the emblem would look unique and stylish, IMO.
