I see this getting on someones nerves fairly soon, or they would never turn it on after the initial pics. Just seems like allot of work for something that's not going to be used often.

[cherrington17]

you mean like my floor lights?

Since i installed that switch, i routinely keep it on gauges or vents. RARELY are the floors ever on. They are mostly for show....

Doesn't mean i'm not adding more to the setup later...



but...

if the leds were positioned with the tips sanded slightly and angled at a rather obtuse angle to the plexi, it should make it glow more then shine. then with some careful playing with resistors (multiple inline) you can tone down the degree of brightness, to a desired level of non-annoyance.

I'd most defintely put a kill switch on it though. Just in case.

Yeah may be ghosting the glass would cut down even more on the annoying factor!

[cherrington17]

interesting concept... it would make it stand out a bit more during the day. maybe even light spray tint.... hmmm....

i'd hate to get it done, then have the bare metal visible behind it, during the day. Talk about ghetto mod.

That's why I said ghost it...or tinting like you mentioned might work but you would still be able to see in there when the lights come on. Im thinking ghosting the front of the plexi with the edges still clear and run the led's on the outer edge......still don't like the idea but to each his own.

i can do what you want , but the "alero" might have to be big on the trim piece for it to have any kind of detail, and for a price......

[cherrington17]

the only time the leds would be on, it'll be too dark to see back behind it.

and if you CAN see in there, the leds should give a decent enough light to prohibit seeing much.

well there ya go guys. If anyone wants to tackle the project, you have a good idea already.... for those who don't... you have a professional willing to do it.

btw, bdy... you guys have a lighting guy in your shop, or would that have to be added by the user, afterwards?

Wait...cherri, are you referring to the interior pillar where you typically mount boost gauges? Because I was totally referring to the outer portion of the A-pillar, so people could see it as they drive by. It's completely illegal and harder to do (because like I said, you'd have to pull off the entire exterior door panel) but damn it would be so sexy that women would orgasm there on the spot as you drove by...hell, I'd blow a load in my pants if I saw that.

[cherrington17]

yeah... definitely interior. Exterior would be insane to pull off.

talk to bdyman if your going to do that.

Whadya say bdy? If you could get that outside door panel off for me I would totally do the rest as long as you could put it back on for me, lol.

What say you about this?

[PappaSmurf]

I think bdy would say sure for about 2 grand. LOL

[Psyfox]

Haha, I know right? Maybe I'll junkyard a crap door just to see if I can do it with the door attached, and if I can do that then I'll totally offer out a service for that, lol.

[PappaSmurf]

sorry psy, all my business goes to bdyman. He is the GOD of fabrication.
