Default TA front bumper filler LEDs

So I've been reading for a while of a couple members who have put LEDs in the front TA filler.

Overall, I made it all for 70. I've got a few hrs into this. There are 32 LEDs

I took these pics before I ran the wires to a switch. Also it looks blue because the decals on the bird are blue. I will have a white decal so I assume the light will change to white.

Your car is hawt. I just dont really like the blue cover with white bird look. Why not reverse it so that it's a white cover with a blue bird? Would flow so much better.
Right now it reminds me of your car blowing a kiss or sticking out it's tongue or something. Haha.

Hmmm, blowing a kiss? Dude really, that's what you see? I needed a laugh this AM.

Again, the final version will have a white bird, like the one in my sig from the photo shoot. Yes, I didn't want to do what most 30ths do, white filler with blue bird. You have to do little changes to separate you from other 30ths. Keep in mind they all look the same! If anything I'd say the filler sticks out the tongue.

I have some extra LEDs and I will use them as running lights on my SS.

I really like what you did there! I just think if the plate was white it would flow better with the rest of the car. Leave the blue Leds. The blue plate just draws too much attention to an otherwise beautiful front end.

^^^^

You know, I've yet to see any chick with blue lip stick. I about fell out my chair.

I could always paint the front of the filler white. Right now I have the back side painted blue so any rock chips wouldn't do anything.

I agree that the white filler may look a little better but to be different is why I inverted the colors. I also did a new int with new white leather and blue suede incerts and 30th Trans Am embroidery work on door panels.

Thanks, actually I had just fit it on when I took the pic. I used alum tape on the bumper where the LEDs are to reflect all light towards the bird. So right now there is no bleed around the filler.
