DSC00090.webpokay the idea behind this took about 2 weeks of planning and careful thought, here are some in the process photos and two finished product photos: 1) during the day, 2) during the night with it lit up! The light behind the emblem turns on with the driving lights and stays on then with the headlights as well.

If anyone is interested in how to do this i can post more pics and a walkthrough.
 
I like the idea but it wouldn't work in my dash like that. I'd have to do something in my sub box.


When I shaved my emblems off my hatch door I glued them to my box.

You can kind of see what I mean in the attached pictures.

It would be cool to back light my emblems on my sub box. So please shed some "light" on how you did this.

hey you kno for ur deck...is that deck detachable? or any way to cover it...because i want to get a deck like that but im worried about theft =S
 
very noice... wont work with my dvd player tho
same boat as rednecks_r_us
except i dont have sony subs (glare) haha
 
okay ill make a very detailed how to when i have more time but, i bought a 4' red neon and used the double sided tape to stick it to the bottom of the cd player. You must cut off the cig lighter plug and then put the ground to a nut on the frame and the the other wire wherever you wanna draw power off of, in my case i did the fog light button which also makes it so it turns on w/the driving lights. As for the emblem part is just one of the new style wheel caps and the emblem pops right off of the backing, then u make a hole and glue it on, i used hot glue. The red background is red gift paper i found at a hobby store. thats that, again i will make a detailed how to w/ pics and steps tools needed and etc when i have time to, dont worry though i will make a how to!
 
Nothing like rice! WAYYY too much blue. And the seat covers, yeah, gotta go! Have an interior shop do your interior or buy some Katzkin interior. Great product!

LOL.

Anyway, that is a very nice mod. I have been wanting to do something with that little dead spot on the radio myself. I at least want to remove the "Multi-Function Audio" lettering. I don't know how to do that without abrading the plastic though. What you did looks VERY good.
 
Sorry, not gonna happen man. I have more respect for these guys on here than anyone in AZMC due to you all being douchebags (like Matt). But, anyways...

Sorry to thread jack! Awesome mod man. I really like it!

His post was sarcasm, and I think maybe you need to chill. If you really respect people on these forums then leave your baggage from other situations off of these threads. Just my .02
 
Definitely agreed and will do however how do you know I wasn't being sarcastic with my post? Anyways, yeah, we'll leave it how it is. : ) No problems there.
