Sweet. Need to see what it looks like in person. LEDs are generally cheese but I've been thinking about this from the moment I saw it on the race car...

I'm interested also, I kinda think it looks good during night racing to light up the buttress of the Ford race cars in order to distinguish the difference in cars.

I like to accentuate the openings and airflow of the GT . It makes it very interesting. I like the effects and it's very popular at the car shows. I get so many comments from people older & younger.

I also experimented with the white in the tunnels. I'm also going to do blue in the intercooler openings so I'm thinking I could run the white in the tunnels and not have a problem with Johnny Law and I could leave them on or night it would make the car more visible and actually be safety lighting..

As soon as I saw the car with tunnels I said if I ever get one I would light them up !!.

As far as the race car goes do you remember in 2016 at the debut race in Daytona they had a thin strip of LEDs on the b-pillar , looked like a little Boomerang shape.

My GT was lit up in the car corral at Daytona 2016 all day and night Rumor Has It some of the executives and designers saw it and maybe did inspired them for the race car... they stepped it after that..
I'm just sayin...:biggrin

And for the record. I've seen the race car lighting . They used about three vertical strips on the flying buttress underside. I was able to accomplish even lighting with one single strip and aesthetically it's much nicer.. I think you guys will approve of it when you see it at the rally

Why not RGBs for smooth color fading ?

I can't believe you remembered where all the parts and fasteners went. Can't wait to see it in person.
