Default Someone bring un-installed underbody kit to Dave's on Fri?

Hi everyone,

Could someone bring an un-installed underglow kit to Dave's (Steven's Creek Scion) on Friday? I'm going to bring along some different clear plastic tubes to come up with a way to do a light-up stripper pole.

Trung, can you bring a couple of LED's with some batteries? I'd like to experiement with some different LED types. (wide angle, the normal 5mm, etc.)

Not really, just kind of inspired by SEMA.

I'm going to see if I can figure out a way to mount it to the tc. Maybe I'll put a big chair in the trunk that pops out. If I can get it to work, I can install one on Tammie's box later too.

Hmm I think I'd like to do a trunk release latch inside the car too.

If you figure out the measurements for the xB then I can go to Tap Plastics and pick up a tube. Darrell is actually going today to pick up a piece for my grille, but I saw some tubes online that were clear or colored.

back to the drawing board for me...

I think we're going to need to use a frosted tube. TAP plastics won't frost tubes for people. I already asked them. I'm going to have to look online to see if I can find someone to do it.

Hmmm maybe, we can go to Oznium and ask to borrow an LED underglow kit in their store. Just to see how it looks when we place the LED's into the tube. We wouldn't take the kit out of the store except maybe to the car to hook it up to the battery.

Lots of packing to do before then. And there's this pesky thing called work too... I've been pretty slammed at work since the start of the school year so I haven't been around much. Last thing I went to was the 1st BBQ @ Bamm's! I'll try to hook-up with you guys at Stevens Creek after I get back in December. Still haven't gotten the third brake light mod done. Kalbi is on me, somebody bring the rice and cooker. =)
