Well i might as well go ahead and put on the flame suit since i know you guys arent as forgiving as the ls1.com boys but here it is... decided to backlight the nostrils in my ram air. I think it turned out pretty good. I dont plan to use it on the street but i figured it be a neat show trick. Ricey yes, but eh i like it.

Not ricey at all! It's kinda like the lights KITT had...just not moving back and forth. Personally, I would probably want to do something like that on a WS6 if I had one!

Yea as far as lights go im done aside from maybe l.e.d. dome lights and HIDs but thats more to be able to see at night lol. Thought about maybe doing halo fogs but might look overdone.

sidemarkers yes, turn signals no... i think the orange sets off the front end nicely, breaks it up a bit. I already did the tails, just forgot to do the markers while i was doing it.

Looks good. DO NOT DO ANYMORE LIGHTING EFFECTS. Or I'll punch babies.
But that one is okay.
I approve.
