LEDs in the SS scoop? i have a white Z/28 RS with an SS hood and i've heard of people putting lights in either the SS or WS6 hood. i was wondering if anyone has pictures of that or if y'all think it's a bad idea or too rice. i was gonna do some red ones since i'm doing a white/black/red theme on my car.

a cold cathode that cannon be directly seen, just the glow, might not look too bad, but not my taste. mount it lower and put aluminum tape to reflect the light out

Yeah... I wouldn't do it. Lights that don't serve a purpose are... well, I understand that people are easily fascinated with shiny, bright, or colorful things (including myself). You just gotta let these ideas pass or you end up with rice IMO.

You should check about what's legal. You mentioned a red glow in there; that might get you pulled over as I think in my state any red lights up front are taboo.

first off!... dont listen to these guys who say dont do it... its your car, do what you want...
second... i did mine cuz it was cheap and gave me something different from everyone else... if you dont like it, oh no! you just spent 20 bucks! dont eat fast food for a week... problem solved
third... ALOT of people think it looks good... the people on here are going to tell you not to because they don't like it... i love the people on here, its definitly my favorite forum and im on almost every day... but when people start talking about things being "ricey" it just gets out of hand... some people just need to respect others opinions... if things are done in good taste, your fine...
--from my point... im an electronics guy... not so much mechanical... so lights and different things i can do in that field are just more fun...
*bottom line* Do what YOU want, and have FUN with it!

haha nice... yes, technically the lights are illegal... BUT... isnt not having cats also illegal? and how many people have done that?!... and if not that, then im pretty sure almost all of us could get tickets for being too loud (i got pulled over for this in my old van that was too loud, -not ANY louder then my car now!-)
the noise ordinance or whatever for cars is extremely rediculous... TECHNICALLY i believe the dB calculated out figures up to be like if your car can be heard from like 30ft away, then its too loud. haha
just be smart about it... have them off at the right times and on at the right times...
when i first got mine i wasnt really sure if it was illegal and had heard that people said they think it is, but chances are you wont get pulled over from it... then, maybe a dumb move, but i was drivin over to a friends house and there was a cop sitin outside the addition so i turned on my blue lights and drove right in front of him and he didnt do anything... maybe he didnt see them, i dont know... just dont be dumb...
