It's your car so do what you think would look best. The price is going to depend on the size of tube you get. The smaller neon tubes can go for as little as 10$, and you could probably use two of those (one per side) to get the effect you want. If your going to splice them into your 12v accessory outlet (or some other 12v lead) you should still use an inline fuse (rated the same as the one that comes in the plug) to protect the tubes from spikes, shorts, etc. It would be much cheaper to replace a fuse and find the problem than to replace the whole tube(s).
If done correctly (read: with taste) neon tubes can actually look pretty good, IMO. Overdoing it, of course, will always look like burnt anus.
Good luck, and show pics of how it comes out when you're done.
