pretty damn impressive if you ask me. amazing work he's put into the car.

I remember seeing his car a long time ago, I mainly remember the front/rear bird and nostrils, but never saw all the other stuff done. Can't knock skilled craftsmanship

It's the "lighting control center". he just added more lights to it for a little extra pizzazz, so it's not really a useless piece. The vid says it contains 2 control boxes and 4 toggle switches

It took me hours just to route, cover and get the wires for my after market Gauges Looking neat and professional. (Were they cant be seen of course and wired into my Dimmer and Dash Lights) I couldn't imagine undertaking a project such as this.

I have been on several other forums and I like this one the most for its information and resources. BUT, I have to say it is one of the most closed minded forums I have found. If a mod doesnt in some way increase performance then its a "WTF" mod or its "Rice".. if you ask me, its only rice if it sacrifices performance/function for looks.... and dont tell me that putting lights inside your airbox kills airflow and results in a performance loss.. if you think that you need to get off the pipe...

Not rice at all, IMO. I just think it looks ridiculously tacky, like a 9-year-old glued a bunch of cheap lights to it. Not to mention the fit and finish leaves a lot to be desired. The craftsmanship of the glovebox material looks very awkward.

If you like it, who cares what others think?
