I think i have an idea to solve the issue with the exhaust heat...but i'll try it when my LEDs show up this week. They already shipped and the company is in NJ. It will probably be at my door tomorrow or thursday.

Only with an E-brake interlock, just like DVD players visible to the driver Driving with blue lights on is a recipe for being arrested for impersonating a police officer.


I suppose if it floats your boat....

Well i was thinking of bending the exhaust heat shield more towards the muffler and mount my rear neon in my bumper, or around there

Yeap, i tucked my tube 1-2in away from the exhaust sheild within the bumper. It does cut the glow because of the inner shape of the bumper...but you'd have to be uber **** to notice it.

i took those pics the day i got my car back from the shop. i painted the grille mesh black the next day haha. i have just been to lazy to update the pics.

i just went to my hardware store and got some flat black paint and sprayed it after i removed the mesh from the bumper.

the eyelids were from ebay, like 50$ link to eyelids (same ones i bought)
