ha, it really wasn't that bad. well, the wiring was the worst, but i've had that done for months. the plastic is super soft and easy to drill through, so that part was fairly quick. i thought it was going to be worse.

best compliment yet, coming from you! if only i had snatched up the other sets of red you had laying around although then i'd probably go overboard! i kinda wish i had set them back a bit further, but i think a person sitting back there would block the light. anyway...

umm, that sounds incredible.

I still think you should offer us that hid fog light conversion you had.

thanks dude. i like it - i think there are other ways i could have done it, but only had 2 led strips and can't go back now - but i'm very happy with it. i think it looks stealth enough that it will really surprise people when they're back there.

thanks onyx. what about the execution do you not like? the placement? the fact that i actually had to drill into it? just curious

Not really sure, I guess i'd prefer the LEDs to be placed in such a way that they are not in plain view, i love the overall lighting affect though. I have red too!!

door sills...you mean like where you rest your arm? or the bottom part of the car's frame and you open the door (where it says rx-8)? ha ha, sorry...not sure what "door sill" is, a bit foggy today!

but yes, either one would be awesome. i've always wanted an illuminated doorway. but putting them in the door's armrest, facing down or something would be awesome.
