You can find the LED light stick in many auto shop with sensor for about $20. But personally won't do it, looks too"fast and furious"

I'd give it a "maybe" if the undercarriage was painted, chromed, detailed etc and on a mirror platform at an car show.

For a street car it looks too gimmicky for a "sophisticated" car like a BMW.
