Grille and Interior accents

Ok, this is something i've done for neons for a while now, its very easy to do, so I thought i'de post about it here and see what you guys thing...

First, the grille accents... Basically, using the same board used for the third brake light, i can link 2 together to create a wider bar. SRT4 owners have been using this to light up big fmic's and they've turned out quite well. Here's some pics of the prototyping we did on a local SRT4:

Red:




Blue:





White:



Next, Interior accents...

All I really have for photos on this one is what i've done as a "retro" dome light in my own car. same boards, 2 strung together, making one very intense but useful light....which as i've learned yall with sunroofs DONT have the luxury of a good dome light...this could be quite helpful to yall...



Here's a shot looking through the front door...20% window tint:



You can see it's still quite bright....

Now a pic with the door OPEN:



Pardon the dusty dash

If yall would be interested in something like these, I'll come up with some package prices and such and inform MP about them. From there again its up to them if they will carry them, so if you wanna see them sold, show some support!

The grill.. It seems like a real strong light in the dead center where the lights are mounted.. idk if you could mount the light above the opening to have it shine down or what..

I love black SRT-4's....looks so good. I like the blue and white. I don't like the use of the zip ties though. But OMG looks a-freaking-mazing.

I'd love to see it on an ss/sc.

If they had underbody neons as well it would show more along the bottom as well.

ah, now i understand...

if you put them at the top, then no it wouldnt light better because as the light travels farther, it gets dimmer, so the top would be well lit, but then the bottom would still be unlit...

the zipties were just temporary to hold the suckers in place so we could take pics...he later replaced the zipties with double sided tape.

Oh, and a neon tube under the car wouldnt help, the SRT4 has a solid airdam under the front bumper that would prevent that light from going upward at all, not to mention, big fmic's sit pretty far foward in the bumper, so you'de have to have a neon tube right at the very front of the bumper.........would look ugly like that...

I want that dome thing NOW!

I don't have the sunroof so I have the big dome, there's lots of space for LED's in there and the stock light output blows

I'M VERY interested in that product, that's what I want the most
