the color is actually red,dunno why it looks pink in the pics!
rear will get the same treatment soon.
 
what did you use to do that? and if you did the front, and doing the rear, what about the sides of the car? give some more info what did you use and is it the same size as the factory chrome, how about a day time shot of it. what does it look like when its off and in the sun, thats pretty cool never seen that before!
 
sides are getting smooth lsc trim,but it could be done there as well.
it's el lighting (part of my new business).
taking daytime shots tomorrow (weather permitting) but it's red in the daytime,just not lit. it's wired into my parking lights which made pics difficult. looks waaaay better in person.
i can get pretty much any color,width,and length.
attaches with 3M double sided trim tape.

can be flashed,setup with remote control,the possibilities are endless.

my company logo or the cobrastar logo will be lit in the back window via remote after i get the rear finished,just haven't decided which one!
 
whats something like that cost, for the front and rear bumpers, and the sides, would you offer a kit? and can this be dimmed? alot of EL stuff can be used on a dimming module like your interior lights. i would love to put dark purple in my black 93 but i'd want to be able to dim it.
 
i could assemble a kit using my car for the measurements. the only tricky part would be the sides, as the wires would have to pass through to the inside of the car. setting it up on a dimmer and remote would be no problem and purple is available. with the dimmer,you could dial in the exact shade you are looking for. pm me if you are serious and i could work up a quote on a kit.

as mespock stated,some state laws are strict on front and rear lighting colors. locally here,they don't say much about the color unless you flash the lights.that's why i wired in to the parking lights instead of the turn signals.

however, if it were set up with a remote as opposed to wired direct,you could turn it on and off at will therefore making it a show/offroad application.
they can't say much if it isn't lit while driving.
 
will do. i just need to know if you guys want it setup on a remote or wired direct and also if you want to be able to dim or flash it.

pm with requests as each kit would be tailored to get you exactly what you are looking for!

at this time,i could only put together a kit for the gen 1. i have no gen 2 available to get the measurements from.
can also backlight any logo,do interior accents,etc.

just let me know what you guys want!
 
What a cool idea

I think he's got an awesome idea. Check out some of these pics! OK... maybe the pink panther is a bit GAY, but the rest are really cool.

That is some funny sh** right there! Are you sorry that you are gay? Or the lights?
I sort of agree, but everything has a place, and it takes all kinds, right?

Oh no, I'm not gay. Very far from it. Each to their own I guess, it's just not my cup of tea. It may appeal to the younger ricer guys. That Trans am is horrible looking, Does anybody actually like that? Geesh:eek:

They used to sell that stuff at pepboys back in the day.
 
I would have great interest also. But white would be my preferred color for the front. I guess pricing would dictate if I would do this though.
 
turbo. there are better ways to increase your post count.

white is available unity. i'll work on getting some prices together.
 
I think the idea is kinda cool...in moderation! But the big firebird,and the hyundai are a bit much to be drivin around town. Car show,parking lot pimpin,or saturday night car club meeting would fit right in. Besides...here in north florida,if the cops see you riding around with that on your back window on fridays and saturdays,it's an invitation to get pulled over and hassled. And i hope some pilot doesn't mistake that hyundai for a heli pad and try to land.:D That thing is BIG! And the rhinestone thingys on that red shirt are a bit much:D It says SEE ME :eek: standing buy my cool bird....Yes,am the one with the sparkle trim on my shirt!
I'm sorry you guys,i just couldn't resist the joke!
 
It has all kinds of possibilities, have the sceptics not seen the future cars at the shows? Thinges like this is going to be the future, look at the interior of the MKR concept. Dont be so negative and close minded to things that may well be on your next new car. Lets try to think outside of the box long enough to let some new ideas in shall we?

THANK YOU! btw,the photos added by elight were not done by me or my company,and they were done for show/parking lot bling purposes.
the whole being pulled over for the lights thing is why i mentioned that it can be used in conjunction with a remote,so you can turn it off and on when you like.
sound and light competitions are becoming just as popular as your average car show. while i wouldn't bling/flash/and boom my own car, i would light up a whole darn car if that's what the customer wants. each to his own,your car is an expression of yourself,and some people and cars are more expressive than others!
 
Out there...

The most common uses I've seen for this type of lighting is in floor mats, sill lighting, and speaker/electronics lighting. There was a Bentley at the CES show that had the speaker wires backlit. That was an original idea. Everyone wanted to know where they could buy the "glowing" speaker wire. Freeform accent lighting on a car's exterior seems the next logical step.

I could care less about my post count, It just looks like crap IMO. Some others like it, I don't. Deal with it.

Reminds me of something you would see at the illegal alien drag races.:p
