Wow,,,That came out really good Carl. I cant wait to see it in person tomorrow night at the Meet & Greet. I am installing my new CF fuel door tonight that just came in today. You will have to check that out tomorrow.

 

Well I got it done. LEDs in the bottom of the door panels wired up to the dome light to dim in and out and only come on when the door is open. 9 5 mm LEDs per door that I got from Garage 1217.

Passenger side

Now time to clean my car up.

 

wow that's a great idea - looks real good!

 

Thanks. My buddy gave me the idea, so I can't really take credit for it, but I did do the work. I can't wait to see them tonight.

 

That came out really nice........wonder if I can do that when I install the new panels..

 

Ya just like BZinn1 said, may have to steal the idea and do it to my car

 

Go for it man. When my friend told me I was trying to figure out why I never thought of it. The hardest part is finding the dome wires. Luckiy a SL member posted that when he did his BMW style LEDs in the door handle.

 

Very nice.

 

ok i got both Samco hoses in .......talk about a pain to get a wrench to the bottom one......they are bright orange,the only ones ever made so far by Samco for the tC from what I understand.......very nice.

 

Ok we need pics Brian...lol Can't wait to see all the new mods you've done.

 

Ok gonna go get some now........jut got done doing basic cleaning for car show tomorrow,gonna go with Brad and Andre and support the Imports at the hot rod show......plus I get to see all the hot rods.....

 

I was bored so I went to the lake. Sorry about the dead bugs on the front.

 

Ok here are some pictures of the most recent mods.











what a pain to install let me tell you.

 

threw a rod last sunday on my stock motor. Now i have a sweet looking hole.
Found a core with crankshaft and sent it to ERL
Now building short block by ERL. Also need to find a good clutch to push more power on built motor.

 

How far apart did you placed the LEDs? You think i can use those thin led strips oznium sells? Doesn't the LEDs scrap your door sill?

 

^looks good!!! Good idea too! Just got my Ingalls 4-point brace in...let you all know how it feels tomorrow!

 

When I measured it out and did the math, I placed one every 4.25 niches. The hardest part is making sure you are measuring the same and starting from the same starting point on each door. I just got out of the car tonight, (dark and rainy) and they put out a good amount of light. I was able to see a big puddle and step around it.

You could try the strips, I don't know how you would mount them, I guess tape or glue. I really don't know how durable the LEDs need to be. I am assuming they might be exposed to some more moisture. and I see those strips are water proof. I know the flat part of our door panel is about 35" (it depends how you measure) so the 28" might be a good route. I don't know how thick they are, so I don't know if they will fit under the door and not interfere with the closing of the door.

I wanted to uses these guys http://www.oznium.com/led-modules since they have adhesive on them already and then I could stick them to the bottom of the door and just run the wire. But they are a little pricey so I opted for the way I did it.

 

Those look great Brian. Very nice do they make an orange top battery?...LOL I'll take your redtop. J/K What exhaust is that? Looks good.

 

How did you mount yours beside drilling the hole? glue? tape? or just pressure?

 

That is the HKS High Power.......freakin loud,but low toned and sits very nicely,it is huge though.
