That looks very cool. I think the side vents are one of the main features of a vette. And, backlighting them like you have for night display is very :cool:

I may throw some lights behind mine. What wattage bulbs are you using...it looks just right from here.

I think that's a great idea, I thought about doing that last year but got side tracked. Can you tell me what type of light you used? Thanks
:cheers:

We put some on my son's C5 last Sunday and they look good. He used a little 8in neon and they fit easily, but I held one up to my C3 and they were about 1/2in too long. I assume that there are shorter ones out there but I haven't had time to look into it further. His had the little transformer built into the end, so hookup was simply a hot wire and a ground.

HEHE, think I will add some purple or blue lights to mine, afterall they should be worth at least a second in the 1/4....NO???

at any rate if subtle enough....it's a good idea....
