Default Berger Panel Light Up

Not sure if anyone has done this but i want to have the CAMARO logo light up red. I've done my research and I cant seem to find any that has done this and anyone that offers the camaro letter in clear.

So, what im thinking of doing is buying some acrylic resin (They use to fill vase for the fake water look) and filling in the camaro logo and cutting the panel from the back and put some LED light in the back. Sort of like the Firebird that lights up.

Couple friends of mine did this a few years ago. Look up DRSITES. He did it first and Check out link in my sig and find Reaper on there. He has a great step by step how to.

It's not light up but the guy here has reflective vinyl camaro lettering. He can probably at least do the clear set for since he does all his own custom work anyway.

In the event my prior post gets deleted, (don't think any of the sponsrs here do custom vinyl, could be wrong) send me a pm about it, though you may be taken care of already.

I was thinking of removing the panel and putting a neon light in the back. Using the clear acrylic resin to fill in the camaro logo to make my own custom clear acrylic inserts.

I would put tape and then put about two/three layers of paper foil then fill it in with the fake water acrylic. Remove them, take off the excess and buff them.

then remove some of the metal from the panel so the light shines through. I'm thinking of a neon light because LEDS would be too bright. I want it to be subtle and not take away from the brake lights brightness. Then people would think im pressing the brake all the time.

I will do a write up. If it doesnt work out i can always buy the vinyl inserts for it. Make it seem like it never happened.

TTUbaker - I'll post pic when im done. That's it I'm going to get started on this weekend, you guys motivated me enough to put the other project on hold.
