So, when are you going to light up the front emblem. Maybe a red, white, and blue led?

 

That would be sweet. I started to do a front emblem, I even got small red white and blue LEd's, I tried to use the original emblem but I stopped just short of drilling holes. I couldn't bring myself to drill into the front incase the install didn't look good I would be left with holes.
Making a front emblem from the plex on the other hand I think is the way to go, that way if it doen'st turn out the original emblem will hide any extra holes. I will post a pic of an emblem I started to give you an idea of what it will look like. I kind of put the front emblem on the shelf as I am in the middle of an engine swap.
Won't be able to post the pic until next week though..

 

Here is a little photoshop incentive for you.

 

Hey man how about some directions my way? cbdave2003@yahoo.com


You cant be chance make some IROC-Z ones or find out who can ?

 

Guess i'll jump on the band wagon . Can I have them too?[EMAIL=avalos03@charter.net]

 

Me too, please. The link to the tech article doesn't work by the way.

I'm thinking of doing something similar for the Firebird...

Thanks, David!

 

How do you think this would look if the emblem part was clear and the rest was opaque with the led's behind the painted part so that the emblem lights up instead of the whole thing?

 

it might look good. i got the 91-92 ground effects and im thinking about placing a small LED, probably red, behind it so the funnel shape back end glows red.

 

heck add me to your email list as well

c_cecilio@hotmail.com

 

Someone needs to re-submit this tech article.

 

I would really like a set of these plans as well. Email I_HATE_COWS@hotmail.com

 

that is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

can i get on the list as well? dupo24@gmail.com

thanks a bunch!

 

the only thing i dont get is, what if i dont have an RS? what can i use to make something that say IROC-Z?

 

Very cool, but I as well have Iroc-Z emblems!

And like they said above, the tech article doesn't work!

BTW, what was the greatest thing before sliced bread?

 

very thin bread loafs.

 

Guess the tech article got waxed with the board problems, I no longer have the file or the link to the person who can make the IROC emblem stickers, but I will see about getting an article together without pictures.

 

hey i made some clear IROC-Z emblems. tell me what you guys think. if i made some more, how much would u guys be willing to spend on a pair? They really are clear, the white background is just the scanners light.

 

Beautiful idea. Could you please email to me too.Kszczepans@cavtel.net. Thanks in advance.

 

Not trying to hijack here... but there has been an article on this "mod" here for a while now. Here is some tips/resources that may help:

1: purchase "replacement" LED bulbs at www.superbrightleds.com

2: If you have a printer, you can purchase blank "decal" sheets at office depot, etc., and make your own "templates" for lettering. I wouldn't use the decals directly as I imagine they wouldn't last very long outside. BUT, you can print in "reverse" and possibly use them on the backside of the plexiglass<?>. My thoughts were to use them as "stencils", and paint the backside.

3: If you bevel the perimeter pretty sharp and polish them, the light will travel to the edges and create a "glow" effect. A belt sander works well to shape the plexiglass initially.

4: Just a note: be careful what you select for LED colors.... most states have laws restricting the light colors especially side marker lights. (my 24 yr old son found this out the hard way in OK... with his neato green bulb/clear side markers!) ;]

I would like a pair of the iroc emblems, but could they be made with the iroc-z part clear and the rest black?

 

Yeah i can get whatever you want. Does anyone know what color LED's are not outlawed by police? I know i cant have blue or red, but what else cant i have to use of the emblems?

 

amber.


in the US, you can have all the amber running lights you want on the sides of your car.

or semi truck.. go look at what some of thoes guys do... lol

 

I know its been a while.......I want instructions please...


matt@acushnettool.com

 

the tech artilce is gone, I too would like instructions or I'd pay to have some made. thanks.

 

ttt for one mod that should be an article

 

Old thread, but awesome idea! I would love to know how to make these, is this person still around?

 

I used to have the tech article bookmarked, went back to read up on it again just to see it gone.

Anyone have it saved?
