Not wild about the LED lighting, but the other stuff looks pretty good.

That's crazy - a little much for my taste!

However it would look pretty cool at a Vette show once the sun goes down and night sets in!

Thanks,Matt

A little too Liberace for me. But, then again, I never liked any bling on a car. The LED's really push it over the edge. However, I can appreciate the amount of work that went into it.

I like a little bling but, I agree, I am more for function than sheer cosmetics.

The LED lighting ALL around the engine bay looks cheesy, 'less is more'!
All thats missing are some mirrors, and angel hair!

Engine covers looks great.

Thanks for the post, it was more than I expected.

I got some strong paint ideas by looking at the reflection on the intake manifold. As a matter of fact, a reflection was the last thing I was expecting, and I at first thought it was painted in marbled sections.

I would have to assume the lights don't photograph well, but really liked that it was more than just a guy who bought a kit and left it at that.
