Underhood Lighting
They are some 3" LED strips and I think 8" LED strips from Advance Auto. The key is to hide them and all the wiring. Splice it into factory harnesses, zip tie up under the cowl, whatever. Take your time. Hide all the wiring, fuse and switch somewhere. I did in front of the fuse panel under the hoor bumper thing. Be **** like I was, and no one will see anything.
Oh, and this is not just a show car. That is an LS6 intake, a TR Blower cam, and a Procharger. The car has STB, SFC, and 6 point roll bar. It is set up for low 11's/10's. I just believe that fast cars can look good. If I could get enough business, I would open a shop. I just do side stuff, but treat each at least as good as my own.

Verdad Gallardo Thanks!!! I have been working on it. Debating some things, trying not to look like overdone, blah blah. Working on polishing everything metal. Meguirs all metal motorcycle polish is the best! Still waiting to get tuned and get numbers. That nice and more than 450hp will make me 
Some more to show off 
Every bit of work except needing to have help putting the transmission back in, tire balancing and alignment, and dyno tune is by me. I do all the performance, polishing, and paint work.

Body filler, sand, spot putty, sand, primer. I did a couple LS1 intakes, and perfected it with my LS6. It looks bad a$$. I quoted someone $150 to pull, fill, paint, and reinstall and he did not even respond. Apparently he does not realize how much labor this takes to make it look this good. The paint really lights up with the LEDs!

hell yea $150 to look that good i would be all over that if i tried to do it myself it would look worse than when i started when i get a few extra bucks i might have to send my manifold out to ya it looks awesome
I would need it for 1-2 weeks depending on my schedule, weather, love bug season..... I don't have a spray booth, so there are a little dust here or there, but it would come out bad a$$ I promise you that! Single stage acrylic enamel in any color code. That silver is actually a Mack Truck color that matches the GM wheel silver. PM me for details if you want.
