Question Tail Light middle console

Hey all...

I dont know about anyone else but my all black tail light middle console is so freakin' boring to look at. I have my honeycomb taillights, and this bland black piece is in between. So, I got my hands on about 50,000 LEDs, circuit boards and my local dump yard has about 20-30 of the middle consoles sitting around that he's willing to sell meand I found my soldering iron that I've been using for about 7 years that was stored away...my brain got turning...


Here's some ideas I had, I know someone in the past had a bird in the middle to light up when the DRLs were on, and I'm going to achieve the same thing, however I don't think I want that bird...Im not quite sure, just wanting to see what you folks would choose. Who knows I might go ape and start something making these.

Anyhow, let me know what you think about my ideas. (and yes the local law enforcement one is a joke)

And for all of the Anti-Pontiac owners that have called my car this...resulting in a feeling similar to nails on a chalkboard...





Here's some full bumper shots (I know this car was a T/A, and I know on one of these pictures it says formula...just use this as a crappy image of what it might look like at night. I suck horribly at photoshop so...deal with

Make sure if you use "your fucked" you make it "YOU'RE FUCKED".

Honestly, I like the all black the best. No offense but if I saw any of those on the back of a Firebird while I was driving, I'd probably think "Man that's pretty ghey". If you made a Firebird logo light up, that would be the ONLY one that I would even consider saying nice job too, sorry.

The "I Support Law Enforcement" one got me thinking.

How about F.L.A.G. ?

I think Im just going to do the original bird logo...text is cool however I'd only REALLY consider things that would be associated with my car directly...LT1, FORMULA, PONTIAC, etc etc...but the fact that everyone else has the bird in the middle allows me to use what everyone else has, and improve it.

Case closed, I'll be doing the original "red" fire bird in the back Thanks all!
