My Vette - RadioFlyer-ized.....
Huge benefit to having local guru RadioFlyer living nearby. Well, not a huge benefit to the pocketbook.....
Due to scheduling issues (mine) and my car being extremely annoying in terms of electronics this process has taken quite a while. But well worth the time, money, and effort.
Unfortunately I don't have great pics of everything yet, and we are meeting up next month for the install of a few more pieces.
Here's a rundown of what was done.
Audi running lights
Light cannons with halos
HID fogs
LED exhaust plate light
Concealed LED pods in engine bay
Two LED spot lights in engine to shine up at hood
RadioFlyer's running light package for interior (under footwell, on door sills, and under seats for a nice glow)
LED strip lights concealed in trunk around three sides
Sequencing Halo's in rear
Strobe kit - powers halo portion of rear lights (can do main since they sequence), reverse lights, and Audi lights up front. It's a nice subtle strobe, not in your face.
Hook everything up to my custom made BeerPlate concealed in what used to be the ashtray.
Separately I changed the existing lights to blue LEDs and had my mirror converted over to blue LED's. Got these from JW.
Here's a few shots.
Here's my BeerPanel
No, no nitrous. I just liked gone in 60 seconds and needed a button to control the patterns on the strobes.
Future work:
Add rear side markers to strobe setup.
Add two spot lights to shine up on trunk like on hood.
Add 4 more concealed pods under hood to fill in dark spots.
Add very very small white LEDs to ashtray cover to light up the switch panel.
I think that's it..... for now......
I'll get some more pics and videos up at a later date.

Bought all new black screen kit from VetteShop. Then bought front Z06 racemesh screens from CCA. That was part of the makeover last spring - as was the paintwork. Been working on the lighting since then.
Come down for the COCH show on 11/6 and check it out. I'll also be at Autorama in Houston. May be hard to find me, but the car will be there.
Just check the Vette Vues booth!!!

Sorry to everyone that was following the other thread. I accidently double posted this. The mods were kind enough to close the other thread after I let them know of my goof!!!!
