Default Rear Panel with Leds???

i have been seeing the firebirds making the front bird light up, and im wondering can the camaro in rear tail panel be lit up by leds. like cutting the letters out with a dremel and then getting some plastic clear letters to slide in there and put a LED panel with acouple hundred lights behind it to light it up. think its possible???

Ive seen ONE guy do this a loooong time on the LS1.com board. Dont know how he did it and I dont remember seeing it again since. But at least now you know its possible. lol

Kind of funny because I was going to ask this question a little while ago.

Agreed. Someone should tackle this. Contact one the people who make the firebird light up with the LED's, send them a junkyard tail panel. Give them some cash for LED's etc, and some time, and see what they come up with.

Good luck

well i believe it would be easiest if you could get the clear letters in a mold so to speak, they would be connected behind the panel by plastic and then the LED panel would be set behind it and would light the whole thing up. that would look sick to be hehind a camaro at night with that all lit up. if i can find a panel at a junk yard i might just tackel this project.
