Default Anybody ever had/seen underglow on a truck?

I was just wondering if anybody has ever seen underglow on a truck or ever had it on theirs.. If you have, how did/does it look? I was just thinking about maybe getting some for my truck (01 Silverado ext cab) but its just a thought... Just another thing to add to my list of "to do's" on my truck

This one is a 2003, but I think you can get a good idea from this picture. Also, I have underglow on my 2004 impala (self installed) and though it's only my opinion, I think underglow looks great in general.

That looks pretty good! How difficult was it to install? (on your Impala)

Well first off I didn't buy a kit, I bought a strip of LEDs:
5M 12V IP65 Waterproof 300 LED Strip Light 3528 5050 SMD String Ribbon Tape Roll | eBay

all it takes is some wire, solder, and persistence but it's really not bad!
It took me and a friend probably 3 hours to solder, mount, and hook up a switch for the entire system! Plus it only cost about $25

just for reference, here is how mine turned out:
