They are electric, why would there be exhaust?
I do like the neon idea though :)

Those add lots of power. Almost as much as high compression pan gaskets and fuel line magnets.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

I meant like having the stripe glow decoratively--something like Space Mountain's side of the car--to see it glowing at night as it travels around the lagoon.
As for the under-carriage lighting, i was thinking something like neon or LEDs with colors that matched the stripe to make the glow.
Kind of like this?

If you really want to add power, you need to add some sort of Kanji to it.

They did stop every monorail a few days back so that maintenance could put stickers on. Raised each electric motor's output from 113hp to around 125hp.
Stupidity is not a handicap, stand elsewhere.

Kanji are the Chinese characters used in Japanese.
