sure can, obviously don't have them sitting ontop the motor
typically on the outside of the firewall and that "box" area is perfect for most applications |

well here is a pic of what it looks like under my hood.
this isnt my car, but this is pretty much it.
where should i mount em at? should they be on the hood itself? |

just use some LED stripes around that perimeter, the upper corner will hide the leds and allow nice clean glow

Be creative , under the airfilter box , Under the rear lip , along the radiator sides , up on the hood works but those to me are visible ... I've seen some PT'rs take Chrome door mouldings and mount those on the "fins" of the intake Then the neons light them up well
