Hell that is awesome...have you though about putting a rubber seal around the plate to keep light out?

yeah maybe like the rolls of weatherstripping from home depot for your house you could just put that on the outside edge and then slowly put it back on

What an awesome idea!! That white looks pretty good. I have a red theme going on, but I only needed 7 LEDs and it's still too bright. Did you use the clear cover from Afterthoughts? Try to fashion some sort of gasket for it, like cork or rubber, or even Mr. Gasket. Good job!

It's white, they can't do anything about it. I don't think it's bright enough to blind someone.

Fortunately, front plates are not required in all states

Thanks for the compliments. yes it is the clear one from afterthoughts. i just masked it sanded it primed and painted. Then I layed the bird decal over the clear bird mold and lit it. You would never know by day that its not the original plate. I can post up a write up if anyone likes?

NHRA_Trans_Am I can make you one if you don't wat to try it yourself
