We need to hold a monthly contest... What should the winner get if they guess what Mike's doing this time?

I bet between the two of us, we could do his car up real nice! Is this mod something someone else has done before or something totally new?

Funny as it is, we have the stuff to do the CF windows and were already in the process of trying this on our car to see how it looks.

Because my project was slightly spoiled by my recent discover that my car took up smoking, I shall reveal the project, however, with not as many pictures as I'd hoped.I did interior lighting, using the 6-LED gizmos that ColonelPanic used. I have two under the driver dash, two under the passenger dash, two under the driver seat, two under the passenger seat, one in each main vent, and one in each dome light, for a total of 15 installed units, and 90 individual LEDs. They're ignition controlled, so I don't have to worry about forgetting to turn them off. Pics:I don't have pics of the underseat lights because the smoke happened right when I was gonna take them...This is Phase I. Phase II will be much cooler...

EXCELLENT JOB! I love the red led's.... I have red neon inside mine but thought about going with the led's for directional purposes. Plus they are so much smaller and easier to hide..

Now that you're relatively sure your car is OK and YOU haven't caught on fire (yet, at least), I'll repost my 'Ragingfish Grille' pic from the other thread. LOL
