Tell me what you guys think. Also, before I got my kit painted, I measured and drilled 50 holes in my bumper and added leds. Every other one is the parking leds and the others are the brake lights.

You did a great job getting that put together; you had a vision, you got into action, and you finished it up making it look good. Props to you.

That said, I think there's a little too much going on, but to each their own and all that matters is that you like it - but again it does look good.

Yea, I'm forced to agree.

Serious props for doing all that work yourself.

The LED lines on the bumper look like a stick on LED that reminds me of the lights that guide you to an exit on an airplane or in a movie theatre.

The lights themselves look badass... very good job there.


If you have the skill, something I've always thought would look cool was putting red LEDs behind the front fender vents... like glowing red heat from the engine or something... just an idea.

I like the tailights but you could've stuck a strip of led's on your bumper before drilling 50 holes into it. That's commitment.

wow, 50 holes?! The tail lights look pretty good, I'm not sure on the bumper though.

maybe try the LEDs in your tails like the audi A5/S5 has in its headlights.
the LEDs on the bumper is plain weird, but props for doing it and being unique

Wow. Thanks for the opinions but I can't believe no one likes them. When people see it around here they are stunned. Everyone I've showed loves them. I think it looks much better in person; especially from far away. I like to be different. I though it up myself and did everything myself. I'm proud of my work and love it. I appreciate the feedback but no need for the rude comments. I can take more pics of the wiring and how I did it if anyone is interested. It's really not all that hard.

I agree, this is probably one of those mods that you truly appreciate in PERSON, not via pics.

either way, grats on being different and pulling off this mod

Shoulda done the strips OVER the lights, slanty, like angry eyebrows. The tails already look like eyes.

but the tails look awesome. make a DIY.

I like the lights themselves, Big ups for the originality. but drilling 50 holes and sticking leds in it? Was your favorite toy growing up a Light Bright by any chance.

I want to see some daytime pics. They resemble 'in person' better than night pics.

The taillights look awesome.

But the bumper leds look odd, I wouldn't say ugly...Might have looked nicer if you hid them in the side vents.

+1 on the lights, they look awesome... the bumper isn't my taste tho, but it's nice to see some originality. good job for finishing what you started.... i agree with whoever said the LED'S would look good as angry eyebrows tho, i think that would look really cool

Tail lights look great..... that crap on the bumper is hideous.

Nice job on the tails but, I would definitely have to say I dont like the bumper setup. Seeing it in person might be different.
