Default Saturday off with LEDs (56k should be illegal)

So I was off work today and decided to experiment with some LEDs and LED strips, and I got my cathodes fully working. Here is the car midway through.







Here is the end result



















What do you guys think of the seatbelt LEDs? I need to put some reflective material on the inside of the sealtbelt trim to prevent some of the light splash that you see, but as a concept what do you think?

Here are some other pics of my car so far.

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm planning on Hotchkis drop after I get a Tanabe Medallion exhaust in a week or so.

is that a fuse under the backseat? please tell me that its not your only fuse? if so you have a huge fire hazard there. a fuse should be no more than 18" from the battery, that thing is 18" from the amp. yikes

Nice work...but before the drop and shoes I think you should go with the LED guages and console swap to match things up.

That's a second fuse, I know it reduces quality a bit, but I have one in the engine bay as well. I'm trying to figure out how to take better pics of the blue lights, but these were kinda on the fly, lol. I've thought about the led swap on gauges and HVAC, but I don't think I have the skills to do that without messing something up, so I'm starting small. Keep the comments coming, I like the ideas. Also I am thinking about doing leds to light up the rear speaker grilles kind of like the seat belt, what do you think?

LEDs looking good man. No joke, I had decided to put LEDs there just last week. I'll be putting mine in within the week, not to mention the many other LEDs in many other places. But sshh, secret project. :D Regardless, keep the creative ideas flowing.

Good job and original idea with the seat belt light. You have quality stuff everywhere....except in your trunk.

A Sony sub?
