Nicely done and a good write up. While not for me I do appreciate the effort and the look.

I'd try to move the LEDs as far as possible outwards on the inside of the vent so that it can be shined onto the side of the car w/o the light hitting your mirrors. A diffuser plate might also be able to blend the colors together smoothly.

Pretty sweet and the mixed colors mimics the glow of flames! Great job!

If they are mounted to accent more of the side of the car, the LED's become easily visable sitting inside the cove and really takes away the effect, unless you are looking directly sideways at it.

And the combo of Red/Blue, shining brightly out might attract attention not otherwise wanted. .

BTW --- How does one post a photo in a post? Says disabled...have not seen that restriction in other forums..

Another way to do this is to cast the leds in clear epoxy to keep out all moisture.

I think it looks great.....everywhere I go people are pointing and staring at my ride. I bought a kit online and they connected right into the fuse relay box under the hood. No wiring, No switches. Very easy and clean install. Several different colors to choose from depending on the color of your Corvette. Hit me up if you would like to know where to find them online....
