Default Too Much, Making it Rice?

im thinking over summer when i have time im going to make a light up front plate filler and a rear plate filler. would i be putting too much and making it look rice??? im thinking red led's and making the rear light up with the brakes and front light up with the headlights.

during the day it will be completely black

I that would look bad ***. I've seen a member on here who had the nostrils for the hood light up and that would look good with the the bird up front but then again maybe too ricey.

I'm not a fan of "lit up" parts on the T/A. I wouldn't call it rice, I just don't like it much. I think you're better off with choosing a reflective material for parts you want to catch people's eyes.

Lighting up the bird or the PONTIAC is too much IMO.

Not rice.

Good taste? Debatable. Not my style, for sure. However, I love the lit PONTIAC and Firebird symbol.

I say do it. It'll look bad-*** if you do it right and it'll definitely be unique. Why be another CETA/Torq-Thrust II/WS6 Hood clone?

not rice imo if its done tastefully. there are a couple of guys on the board that light up the nostrils or do the front bird or the rear filler...don't think i've seen anybody do all 3 but i think if you do it right and clean then it'll set off the car! i say go for it, sets you apart from all the other TAs definitely!

im not gonna do the nostrils. its a plain t/a.
plus im a perfectionist so it will be clean and right. i plan on doing the front just the outline of the bird
